Very enjoyable read, Bertus. I get a lot of those annoying 'corrections' of words too...
Of course, we are one of those rare people in Western Europe who have a humanure toilet in our house (intentionally!) looking quite similar to your 'oval office'.
The 'Green Man Statue' also looks strangely familiar (Josh, my poetry writing and sculpture building husband creates similar creatures ~ perhaps not quite as tall). And this week I have been thinking and writing a lot about Chaos and Order ~ believe it or not. Must be in the field... gratitude and greetings from Portugal 💕🙏
Yes yes yes yes yes and again yes! Your attic is my idea of paradise including the oval office 🤣 I hope you didn't burn the green man... wow ART (I heard you don't like this word, but what word shall I use... maybe no words but imagine to let him swipe schools) Yeah 🥳
Hey Okeko, as much as six yesses? Wow. Really liked your comments but hadn't yet time to respond. Sadly the greenman statue was set on fire by local vandals right after the festival....
that also refers to the going up in flames of the 'green man', which is indeed "sad" on one side, but on the other side you got what you wanted if I remember well you saying in the interview that when you created (art) you are finished with it, and the going up in flames could be seen as immortalizing the creation, as it does in me, bearing the torch of 'the green man' and swiping, swiping, swiping until there's nothing left to swipe in me 😉
Great read, Bertus! Love your ideas on teaching relativity to kiddos and beyond. That and emotional intelligence and communication skills would go such a long way to changes we too often see as impossible.
Love the Oval Office. Makes me want to paint the composting toilet that travels in my van with me. :)
Thanks Jeff. The Green Man statue was build for The Living Village Festival. The one that inspired TCOTNK. Bob was the initiator and the guy with the throne toilet. A total druid that man, and quite serious too about becoming the prime minister of the Netherlands.
The picture of the red box is from when it was just painted. Most days it lives inside with a civilised curtain shielding the action.
You are roughly describing the first chakra. Here fear and vulnerability meet. Revealing one of the reasons for the title of the book. Worth a much longer post. But maybe I have upset the US of Asians too much already with insulting the potus' seat...?
LOVE a good green man! 💚

Thank you Holly, I saw you have entered TCOTNK too...there is also a prominent van dweller in there....

What a fabulous read… Are you sure you don’t want to be president Bertus?
Dead sure... oh wait... president of what exactly?
