The Small of All things
We are victims of legends. And it often seems, always will be. The key is to determine which legends help us to find and achieve what we want, whatever that may be. Many of the legends we've inherited as humans include the legend of the 'ultimate', the legend of the 'truth', the 'right', the 'good', … Continue reading The Small of All things
What Does Being ‘Connected’ Really Mean?
Have you ever reflected upon what the ‘all is connected’ really means? To understand connectedness, I see our amazing world in us and outside us, with the kind of scientific thinking I have been taught (cause it works for me, no other reason) I have to think chemistry and energy, particles and vibrations.

The water 'cost' for a cotton T-shirt is just above 2500 liters and for a laptop to be produced 20 000 liters of fresh water is needed. … Continue reading Water Used to Produce Your Products
