+++ A) natural history (all aspects like evolution-biology, ecology, natural art etc.), cultural history, the arts (and their development), cultural anthropology, religious culture & arts / spirituality, culture-criticism, reflection, multimedia, science & technology, slow food & drink, walking, contemplate this all (A ánd B).+++ B) And alas a bare & bitter necessity: the concern with the human overall pathology. And please don’t think “Thank god, I am not part of itâ€. We all are!, because it all starts with human narrow-mindedness. Think of our bourgeois conditioning like materialism, consumerism, ignorance, indifference, hedonism, parochialism, cynicism etc which ends up in the ‘vale of tears’ as we know it from tv, newspaper, looking out our window and the lot. Okay, your not a criminal or cruel. But what about the daily madness, alienation, atrocity-exhibition (Joy Division) etc next-door, (in-doors?) and all-over-the-world? To much for us or me? Leave it to Greenpeace, Amnesty International and the likes? En-fin, meanwhile I am also busy with Studies in Religion.
