Birthing of a new age…
Wow… I had no idea… For years I was trying to understand why people take vacations. Hadn’t really had one myself in my adult life so far. Just went on my first one, the first week without a computer in tow in probably a decade (and I did have 1000 emails waiting for me upon my return). How awesome, amazing and fun was that! Will definitely have to do this again. Spent an amazing week in Hawaii on the Big Island, away from the tourist stuff. Rented a lovely home there (view from the deck at sunset to the right) and spent most of the time driving around the island, dancing on volcanoes, and snorkeling (which I never understood before either). Really a fantastic voyage.
The main reason for my vacation was to celebrate the beginning of a new year of my life with all kinds of interesting things to look forward to. Decided that I should take next year off from consulting and told my pimp that I did not want any tricks for 2007. Instead, I will finally get back to my thesis (now close to a year overdue), will start marketing Six Sigma for Your Life and we have some lovely gigs planned with c3. Among other things we are planning a monthly lecture series to be filmed and turned into documentaries on the transformational power of art and media. Should be fun, and it’s all about using the alchemical power of art to create new paradigms for this ailing world we live in. Just read a lovely quote by Gloria Steinem: “It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.”
Many people I know suffer from the strange dualism that while on the one hand they would love to have money, on the other they have very low opinions of people with money. Based on how psychology and this universe seem to operate, consequently they are not attaining any riches. Always thought that the more money can be made with art, the more can be turned into more art. So, next year, I guess, will be about just that for me. Look forward to playing in this new paradigm and will keep you posted on adventures
