Floating between de pillars ,1 and 1 , 11 the first and then twice , or more,.
1, 11, 111, and 1111 ,..
The number eleven carries a vibrational frequency of balance. It represents male and female equality. It contains both sun energy and moon energy simultaneously yet holding them both in perspective separate-ness. Perfect balance. Balancing in duality , levitating trough lovely life .LoveMeXXXX

Foto’s van Micky Hoogendijk, beelden van Judith Wiersema en schilderijen van Lolo Loren. Drie sterke vrouwen met een passie voor kunst exposeren van 20 tot en met 29 mei 2016 samen in Naarden; in de inspirerende boerderij annex atelier van Judith. ‘LAYER’ laat de kracht van vrouwen en kunst zien. De opening van de expositie wordt verricht door kunstenaar Rob Scholte.
‘LAYER’ weerspiegelt de persoonlijkheden en lagen van het leven van de drie kunstenaars. Vrouwen die op verschillende wijze en plaatsen zijn gevormd. Met de wetenschap dat niets vanzelf is gekomen. Hierdoor zijn ze niet zo makkelijk meer samen te vatten. De lagen in de foto’s, beelden en schilderijen leggen hun denkwerk, intuïtie en emotie bloot. Voor kijkers is er alle ruimte voor een eigen gevoel of reflectie.
Micky Hoogendijk (1970) is afkomstig uit een kunstfamilie en ontwikkelde al vroeg een sterk gevoel voor creativiteit en esthetiek. Als actrice en model stond ze jaren voor de camera. Sinds 2010 woont Micky in Amerika. De kunstfotograaf maakt iconische portretten. Krachtige beelden die de kwetsbaarheid en verborgen schoonheid van mensen laat zien. Aan haar werk ligt meestal een ontmoeting, droom of onderwerp ten grondslag dat uitmondt in een explosie van ideeën.
Judith Wiersema (1968) geniet internationale bekendheid met sensuele sculpturen in brons of aluminium. Ze gebruikt steen of hout om het creatieve proces te starten. Vanuit haar eigen gevoel en gestuurd door de structuur en vorm van het materiaal, geeft zij de kracht en schoonheid van het vrouwelijk lichaam vorm. Voor de afwerking worden ook wax, polyester en nieuwe kleurtechnieken toegepast.
Lolo Loren (1971) woont en werkt al tien jaar op Ibiza. Geïnspireerd door het fenomenale licht en de natuur van het eiland, maakt zij haar werk met verschillende materialen en lagen. Daarbij worden cement, klei, zand, pigmenten of stukken canvas geseald met een glossy coating, wat zorgt voor een driedimensionaal effect en een boost van de kleuren. Achter elk werk zit een verhaal, er is altijd meer te zien dan dat je in eerste instantie denkt te zien.
De expositie in Naarden is op afspraak te bezoeken. Op 20, 21 en 22 mei zijn de drie kunstenaars aanwezig. Voor meer informatie: www.judithwiersema.com of www.mickyhoogendijk.com
Als kick-off is de expositie van 12 tot en met 15 mei ook op Ibiza te bezichtigen; in het woonhuis annex studio van Lolo Loren. Voor meer informatie: www.lololoren.com

It has been A while since I wrote and since I bumped in to a story which fascinate me enough to blog it. To dive deeper into it as always the meaning of life interests me. The contrast of how these people lived compare to our spoiled or civilized way of looking at life! And don’t understand me wrong I am super spoiled and super civilized and for me it is almost impossible to go to this kind of “sorting” life. I truly wish though that we are able to have this as a possibility , that it is normal to us as it was for them, then…and for us now.
So here is one of the most well-known stories about the Eskimos is the strange practice that they have adopted when facing death, and old age.
According to the popular conception, Eskimos must work so hard to survive that they simply cannot manage to support adults who are no longer contributing to the well-being of the group.
Thus, when old-age strikes, rather than waiting around as they dwindle toward death, eating food their companions fight to catch and clothing their companions struggle to construct, the elderly Eskimos are taken to sea, and set adrift on a floating iceberg.
Alone on their iceberg, the elderly must inevitably freeze or starve to death, facing their end, uncomfortable, and horrifyingly alone.
However, it is important not to instill modern Western values on the practices of another culture.
To see this as a disgraceful abandonment of those they should love the most is to fail to understand the dire circumstances which might lead to such a practice, as well as the spiritual understanding that might justify it.
As the Eskimos believed that another world awaited their dead, they would not be sending the elderly off to die and disappear, but to move on to the afterlife.
Beliefs aside, it is extremely important to understand how difficult survival was for an Eskimo family, and each person had to put their full attention toward their own survival. Though tasks may be shifted around so that the women accomplished the household tasks for both women and men, and the men hunted for both men and women, the productivity equaled out to just about one person’s daily work to accomplish one person’s daily needs.
For the old to be sent out to sea could actually be a blessing, a way to gracefully exit without becoming a burden and a point of resentment. In a way, this allowed the elderly to be preserved, in the minds of the living, in a more ideal state—untainted. They would be spared disgraces such as senility and loss of bodily function, and would, in some sense, be granted an opportunity to die without first decaying.
When people confront me with death in what ever shape of discussion or talk about it, I never see my self dying, maybe weird to say but it is just not in my constitution written, not my testament of planet earth , I will go to the afterlife as a afterparty and live on, linger around , whisper in your ears to explain life how I experienced it. The wrong and rights, the good and the bad, the flaws and the beyonds, the ultimates and the not to pay attention to anymore,.the divines , the things worth living for and worth lingering around for..LoveMeXXXX
Heart breaking picture which put you immediately back to zero, to where it all starts, to all the most important things in life which we take way to much and easy for granted. This little girl lost her mother and draw her on the poor streets in her country to lie with her again.
Love little things ..
I searched for an understandable feedback on the deep mother love what makes us partly who we are and how we react on things, especially matters of the heart. I found the most important things to a child in relationship to the mother. The father has of course his own importance to the child but in this case I searched for the mother role.
(Excerpted from the book The Mom Factor by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend )
As little people, we experience the world as dangerous. We feel alone. We don’t have love inside, we have overwhelming needs and feelings. This is painful. You can see this pain on the face of any infant who needs to be picked up or of the child who is terrified of something in her imagination. Safety can only be found in the mother or in whoever is providing the mothering. A mother’s nurture is fuel for the soul.
Mothers, through their love and care, make us feel wanted, which transfers into later feelings of worth and confidence in relationships. Apparently countless people feel “unlovable” or “unwanted,” when in reality lots of people love and adore them. It’s obvious that they have failed to receive the right love and care.
The sense of feeling wanted and loved is not an intellectual exercise that we can do for ourselves. It comes through the experience of being involved into relationship with another person. You may know intellectually that you are loved, but if you never felt loved by your Phantom Mom, your feelings won’t match up with what you know intellectually. When we experience being consistently wanted early in life, we move easily into other relational settings later, never wondering if we belong or not. If a mother or the surrogate mother provides safety, nurture, trustworthiness, belonging, and lovability, then the child is on his way to healthy development.
Emotional development comes not only from the mother’s investment in the child but also from the child’s investment in the mother. A mother provides someone for the child to love – she is a good “object of love.” In order to develop emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially, we need not only be loved but to love. Love fills us up, and colors our outlook on others and the world in which we live, so that we view life with hope and optimism. We have a basic need to love people, and that requires someone to love. Lots of love in “the Mom factor”, as apparently very needed and welcome !
I hope this little girl will find someone to love and who will love her and color her life and so her drawings again.
