PS : James Ensor

He appears tp be very absent minded ;)! Maybe, just maybe he nevertheless cares a lot...


James Ensor

On the very day I first saw this photo at an exhibition in Brussels, I very much felt like this. As we passed a building near Aachen's main train station on our way back, I did not realise that at the very moment people were held hostage in it. The same strange sensation again when a helicopter was passing pretty low just about our heads during a family celebration on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Later on, on the radio we learned that a prisoner had escaped from a nearby prison, his accomplices hijacking a helicopter and its pilot. One can be so close and yet worlds apart.

Eccentricities

The weird and strange, I love it. Maybe because it is diverse and feels pretty alive by putting in perspective the ordinary. Food for thought here, jumping up and down and sometimes to wonderful conclusions.

Kairos
































talk about this perfect moment, when everything falls into place. Upside down ;)!

Point Well Taken

Now this is a wonderful take on it all at approximately 28:30 min and I wish a lot of spiritual moments yet to come ;)!

It's Always "Her"

Either here

 

and/ or here,




who is addressee and inspiration. I'd love to sit and listen like Mary, Martha's and Lazarus' sister.

Why, Oh Why...

is it so hard to draw hands?! The hand drawing the hand. I remember a sketch by Terry Gilliam, where everything is perfect, a Renaissance Madonna, up to where the artist draws the hand, which is an awful mess. I love hands though because they are quite expressive and tell a lot, and they are best when it's obvious that the person in questions employs them rather frequently.
