14 unique clocks

This is quite an interesting overview of very unique clocks. I love the whiteboard clock - design every day a new clock. I tried to order one but they are not shipping to Europe. Mmm, maybe I'll have to buy one next year on one of my US-trips I guess.

Beautiful - drawing in sand - timeless

It's quite incredible what this lady does with sand.

Here you'll find the video.

It reminds me of a poem that a participant of the 'Week without clock' shared with us:

“The mind is like the wind, and the body is like the sand;
if you want to know how the wind is blowing, look at the sand."

Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

Week without clock

On November 14th, 11 people go to a big house in the 'Ardennen' (Belgium) for the experiment - a week without the clock organized by Mieke Koldewee and Cyriel Kortleven. No clock, no laptop, no mobiles, nothing that can distract us and bring us in contact with the clock. And the experiment is a big succes. At 18:18 the clock was banned and experience time took over.

The NO-W-ALL gets created with all kind of questions, challenges, offerings, and nice-to-know-things about all kind of time perspectives. Our special cook Raoul (who appeared to be a natural zen-master) makes sure that we don't have to worry about food and he creates lovely and healthy food whenever we are hungry. Groups are formed and split again; theoretical models are build and the body takes over; deep conversations where we listen hard to each other; the heart takes over and the mind gets silent; self-reflection is mixed with easy-going exercises and all kind of movies about time. We loose the clock-time completely and have no clue at what time we get up or go to bed. People sleep, eat, walk, draw, talk, dream, reflect, play, write, read, use their fantasy, ...

For me, it's one of the biggest presents that I gave to myself in the previous years. Deepak Chopra was aboslutely right when he said: 'Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why it's called the present!'

Nice article - climbing mountain of now

Nice article about the mountain of now and all the obstacles we finf on our way when we want to climb the mountain: illusions, excuses, judgement, the past and the future. All kind of obstacles that keep us away from the now.

And a nice picture of an ad that I found in the subway of London.
