Cultuurwerkplaats Tarwewijk
Cultuurwerkplaats Tarwewijk (1 Cillerhoekstraat 1, Rotterdam) is a very cool place with a beautiful garden, a woodworking shop, and meeting rooms. They sponsor computer, sewing, drawing workshops, festivals, and more. I'm super happy that The GEMMS get to play there Sunday from 14:00 - 16:00 . Hope to see you there!
Let Gravity Pull You Uphill
I was recently walking in San Francisco. Boy, those hills are steep! But I let gravity pull me uphill. (When walking or running, using the correct lean, gravity helps to pull you along.) Sailors also use the forces of nature counterintuitively. As a result, they can sail INTO the wind.
Now don't get me wrong, I had to do some work walking up Nob Hill, but it was much easier because I leaned into the hill. (The lean starts at your ankles, not your waist.)
This made me think about life. The going is much easier when we "lean" into it. Let the power of Life help pull you along.

Everything I Know
What Happens When You Sing Every Day
As one who has been an adult (legally at least) for some time now, I find myself wanting to give advice to those who are just beginning their journey into adulthood (especially musicians). This reminds me of what my father used to tel me: I taught you everything I know, and you still don't know nuthin!"
