I just read another great novel called 'the Buddha Geoff and me' and the finishing line sounds something like this "When you change your perception of things that's when you change everything". It's been a true joy getting acquainted with this book. And it has been one of the first books in a very long time that I have totally demolished in a few days. Therefore I just wanted to send it out there, you can get the book by clicking on the headline of today or you can get it as a podcast on 'a Buddhist Podcast' for free. It is one of those books that makes you think, like Paulo Coelho's book "the alchemist - always liked those books. Books that you swallow whole. Or which inspire you to change your opinion on things, or try new things, or maybe even make something creative with them.
Books you read, or maybe even poems, or fragments of books, or... something completely different. It can also be a picture you see at a museum or a new song you get acquainted with, something that makes you tick.
Things like this, poems, books, paintings, music.... or you name it - is also often what lays ahead of a performance. Like in 'the Sleeping Man', where I was inspired by sculptures made by the Danish artist Bjørn Nørgaard, or in 'this is a message about water, which was inspired by a mixture of old movies, old theatreplays, swimming, water... It isn't necessarily art that inspire art, but maybe the little things like a handshake, someone falling or neighbours even;) I guess what point is, that I feel inspired now, this book made me want to start on a new project, and maybe this time travel with it. And the possitivity in it, gave me some kind of energy.
And mayby I'll use this energy in this weeks coming student recitals at Filuren where Helene and I are teaching. Or maybe I will put it into a little something Helene and I are working on..... So many things to be done, and all the time in the world!!!
But hey - Christmas is near - did you sent your wishing-lists to Santa yet?
Hope you are all surrounded by people you love and care about.
Love, Julie
