About Me

real editor best profile tools I'm quite a puzzle...
still trying to put the pieces together myself (i'm sure there are a couple missing anyway) A wandering & wondering soul, bOuNcInG hearT, restless mind... but confident and eager to find my own way in life. As far as you know, I might speak and live in contradictions. I prefer high highs and low lows over a mediocre life - enjoying the ride so far :)End while I'm puzzling, I try to keep Rilke's wisdom in mind:I beg you… to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…

My Interests

Every expression of art that moves me, broadens my mind, makes me think & feel ... mainly music, but also contemporary dance, photography... I love seeing the sincerity of the artist/maker and cherish those moments where art has the power to overtake everything and blows you off your socks. I like to take time off every now and then to travel for a month. I love to discover new places & meet new people. I'm impulsive, I love change in general and trust life. I love small concerts in small venues, chocolate, spending hours in book- and record-stores, enjoying the first sun, thinking my time away, dinners with friends, small independent movie theatres, coffee & croissants on a sunday morning, reading, travelling, candle light, Art Nouveau, bathing, being on my own, Rilke, the way the sun sets so slowly during Finnish winter, Helmut Newton, my freedom and independence, writing, notebooks, fairytales, love, sleeping, watching people go by, long walks in the forest, dancing, old people for their wisdom, old buildings for their soul, people in general and their -sometimes strange- behaviour.Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Akram Khan dancing Zero Degrees. As close as you get to the essence.

I'd like to meet:

Passionate personalities, creative minds, music lovers, likeminded souls, people who broaden my mind or way of thinking, warm-hearted, non-judgemental, openminded and free spirited earthlings (and/or aliens) ...
