Carnival A large collage and oil painting (80cm x 180cm) of my seven grandchildren. I've always been fascinated by the play of Carnival. The whole idea to be someone else and let loose is fundamental to being human. Because we are not just one thing ... we change all the time. And to be conscious of play and letting go is necessary to the human experience. Maria Popova from The Marginalian has taken up the theme of Carnival in her Sunday Newsletter and here is the link: Enjoy!

Teaching ♥️ What profession do you admire most and why? "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Albert Einstein I admire teachers who teach more than established formulas and literary giants. Teachers who dare to question as well as dare to open up for new insights through the imagination. Our minds are as different as the many sunflowers 🌻 in a field.

Klimaforandringerne brager derudaf, men de færreste ændrer feriedestination 25 procent har ikke ændret rejsemålet på grund af klimaforandringer og voldsomt vejr.

Kom nu!
Bliv i DK når det er sommer. Og hvorfor kaldes det skovbrande og ikke naturbrande? Jeg oplevede naturbrande i Californien og det er lav bevoksning, nærmest buske, der brænder (brushfire) og de kalder det wildfires. Samme klima på Kreta …

Sammen med tegner Mads Johansen og en flok børn der var til Læsefest i Nordvest har vi opfundet et helt nyt monster. Halvt ræv, halvt slange, halvt fugl og en smule skorpion. Måske også lidt jærv og leopard, faktisk, men 100% snu uanset. Og jeg er sikker på den aldrig betaler for sine peberkager.

My first real crush My first real crush was on a boy a couple of years older than me. I was thirteen. I thought he was the cutest and wanted some kind of relationship, but with him in England, and me in Denmark, the crush only lasted one season.

Passion is Life Force What are you passionate about? I like to live. That is what I’m passionate about. I like to pursue my interests and feel happy when I do. I’m passionate about people who do the same. Who show spirit. Who have a spark. I’m passionate about my first day in the ocean when the water is 12 Celsius degrees.
