 This page is the informal log of my transiency process, in reverse chronological order.
+May-5 June
+This week i can tell more of what i didn't do than what i did.
+{{ :33a_0229.jpg |}}
+I didn't take a train ( there was a strike of public transport)
+I didn't leave my home/garden for 7 days ( the weather was really bad too).
+I didn't talk to anyone els than my family.
+I didn't write emails except for 2 emails concerning rental. In fact i almost managed not to open my computer at all.
+I didn't take almost any pictures ( with the rain and storms the light didn't look right)
+I didn't use electricity for almost one entire day (due to the extreme amount of water falling down our electrical system gave up...)
+I've spend most of the time sleeping, reading, researching topics that i just read about,trying out a new set of physical exercises, having coffee or tea in the garden even if it rained, drying rose petals, making elderflower syrup, cooking nice dinners and so on...
+I have to say after week like this my head is so empty and light that i can hear radishes growing and clouds passing by...

+As one of the last "must do" things for FoAM this year is hosting and catering for the events. This time almost the entire week. No mater how well i prepare for thees things there is always the unexpected present. This time is the Internet failure. Not our fault but how to explain that to the clients? And how to avoid high costs of letting them to use my phone connection as a hotspot?
+Another thing that strike me - as more "resilient" and "holistic community" based people guiding their events at FoAM as harder it is for them to except me as a person and not as a job title (in this case coffee lady or a cook). By some reason it is very hard to believe that person that serves coffee and food can be worth talked to normally and not treated like a lower thing...The opinion does change after two or three days...Interestingly it almost never happens with people from EU commission or elsewhere. I wonder why?
+On the other hand this week i took lots of pictures from the train in the early morning. A moving line of the landscapes. There is something magic about those horizontal lines...

-Last days of Kunst in de Keuken. It has been a very pleasant trajectory with both classes. It is difficult to measure the success in such things and i can't even imagine how much impact it does on the kids.The only measure  i can see is the personal attachment of them to me and their engagement to the activities.To end the trajectory both classes met at FoAM. 39 kids + 3 teachers and us 3 hosts of the workshops.This time i engaged Ingrid for the first time. It worked very well. She brought a new angle to the activities and helped to finalise all my talks about ecological side of food production and our eating habits.

-And now i feel i can really dive into the transiency. No more engagement with concrete projects.I can choose from day to day what to do with my time. Still looking forward to be completely free from the emails. at the moment i still need to follow up rentals and so.I have the impression that rentals are picking up.There are more requests and curiosity.

-The week ended with a nice and easy lecture workshop about complexity with Julian Still.It brought back some memories of two or three years ago. He came then to give a talk about systemic constellations and as an example we did an exercise on FoAM network.I remember how it made us all at FoAM BXL think about heaviness and responsibility misbalance within the network. But thinking back now i feel many things are changing towards something good.And somehow our complex organisation is becoming more transparent, honest and lighter.
