"I'm a great admirer of Ibsen," the young spruce casually told me. Seeing that I looked a little confused, he quickly quoted: The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. Henrik Ibsen

Once I was an Indian. At least I was a member of the "Indian Club" as a child. We used to hunt squirrels and birds with spears and bows and arrows in a small forest. We never came close to hitting anything, but it was exciting! This afternoon I visited our old hunting grounds

When in nature, on vacation, or traveling, I try to embrace mindfulness – being present. But that does not mean turning off your brain. Ideas will surface, as will positive and negative emotions, things to do, research, reflect on... Bring a notebook and jot it all down!
