s o r r y m u m homo ludens - play and create

Collage & photos: K.Udland

This collage is a result of a particular person not wanting to work - just play. She being all homo ludens - a playing woman - today.

The issue when not keeping focus on workrelated activities - during the hours of the day you are supposed to, is to make sure you enjoy yourself. Because God knows - and you all know - guiltypleasure is hard to deal with.

Then again, I believe we actually do not play enough on a daily basis. We should spend time playing every day, and sometimes all day. Have fun. Play with whatever gives you joy and pleasure. Know what happened to me after todays playday? I awoke my creativity. And work became play.

Go! Play! Create!

s o r r y m u m om kjerringer - dårlig samvittighet, illusjoner, kjønnsroller og et åpent sinn

Ei kjerring, av norrønt kerling, er ei gift kone eller ei gammal kvinne av det breie lag av folket. Ordet seier noko om kjønn, samfunnslagslag og alder eller ektesapeleg status; for somme kan det ha ein negativ biklang eller bli oppfatta direkte nedsetjande. WikipediaVi har gjennomgått tiår med kvinnefokus og kamp for kvinners rettigheter. Etter fokus på oppvaskhansker og kjoleforklær, zalo og salmiakk i en periode dukket Nora for alvor opp og Dukkehjemmet ble rokket ved. Kjerringa i det hjemmet var Torvald.
Noen av oss vokste opp med sannheter som viste seg ikke å holde mål. Sannheter og illusjoner fra 60- og 70-tallet falt for mange i grus på 80- og 90-tallet da vi etablerte oss med barn og familie og forstod at vi var nettopp det: kvinner. For da angrep kjønnsrollene – eller naturen, vil enkelte påstå – oss i et bakholdsangrep vi ikke var forberedt på etter kjønnsfornektelsen i oppveksten. For enkelte av oss var det selvfølgeligheten som falt. Selvfølgeligheten vi var oppdratt i og…

A letter to my friends - Children first - New year wish 2017

My dear Friends,
Its been a while. But it is time. For change. I am writing to ask you a favour. Not for me, but for our children and our grandchildren.
It can be difficult to teach an old dog new tricks – a saying. The old dog being me and perhaps you. Still - we are the ones who need to teach the children new tricks. To educate them on how to take care of eachother and of the planet.
I believe the right way is not by exploiting nature, but by exploring nature – like small children do. In order to fall in love. When you are in love you want to nurture and learn how to do that in the best way and in the right way for love to flourish. Make the children fall in love with planet Earth.
I ask you to show the children, teach them, take them to the woods and the lakes, the oceans and the desserts. Show them the beauty and the magnificence of Nature. Show them her fragility and her strength. Show them the beauty of whales playing and purring between the ice-flakes. Show them the blue beauty of …
