One of those days.

Yesterday when I woke up I had a headache and a cold sore happening.
Went on with my morningroutine and then drove to the stable to hang out with the coolest pony in the world.
When I got there the coolest pony in the world where walking on three legs. Not that cool. Luckily I reached a farrier that just got cancellation from one of her costumers/patients so she came right away. Lucky me and lucky pony!
The farrier cuts the hoof open to puncture the abscess inside and then she wraps the hoof in plaster. The plaster is not aloud to get wet. Anyone that ever broken a bone know this. My pony has never had anything in plaster before and doesent know this. 20 minutes later when he is not in excessive pain anymore and almost able to stand on all four legs he sees absolutley no reson to stay inside to keep dry for the next 4 or 5 days.
Getting back home, I've missed my lunch and my practice but I feel lucky because everything turned out as well as it possible could under the circumstances.
To get to my appartment you have to walk up two stairs. I walked up one and a half when I realised that I don't have any keys in my pockets. They have to be in the stable. So back into the car, drive the 40 km one way to see if I forgot the keys there.
No keys found in the stable. Some extra apples for the freedom loving pony who has house arrest, back into the car and drive the 40 km home.
At this point I start teaching in 45 minutes. I have no keys home. I'm dressed for stable, not for yoga. I have no keys to the studio where I'm teaching my first class for the evening. So while I'm driving I'm phoning (sorry mom) to find spare keys to the studio, borrow some clothes to work in and have a place to sleep. Everything works out! I have amazing family, friends and co-workers!!
I swing by my place just to make sure that I did'nt leave the keys in the lock. Walking up the two stairs, not one and a half that I did 70 minutes earlier, there's the keys!! Still hanging in my door!!

I don't surf, but I imagine this events a little bit like surfing. You get up on the board, it's windy, you fall over and thats okey. That's a part of the dance.

When I got to bed yesterday the headache where still there, but had'nt got worse. The cold sore were still there, it had got worse. A had a pony. An outdoors loving one who has to be inside for a few days, but getting painfree. I have a lovley home and if I get locked out I have family and friends ready to borrow me clothes and a couch!

Not a thread

Thoughts about nudity.

I don't feel shame in nakedness but

- for me -

the naked body is charged with vanity and vulnerability.

It's not who I am, in terms of personality, it's just how I look but thats also all there is.

That is all of me.

This body is all I got.

I love my body for joining me in this life. For teaching me about pain and about possibilities. Every day I get stunned and amazed with what this body is able to do.

I had a nude art photo shoot this week, and thats what brought all this on.

Beeing naked in a room with someone that I'm not in a relationship with, there's no locker room situation going on and no sauna. Just my nakedness a nother person and a camera.

And it was'nt weird at all.

Turns out I`m not that vain and I'm not that vulnerable.

I'm just a person, just a body and just comfortable with the skin I'm in.

Above is a small piece of the picture that's going to be published in the photobook "Just People" by photagrafer Cornelia Schmidt.

Ending

a long week with,,, ?
I don't know how or with what I should end this week.
This week has been long and in some ways quite boring. I've been non-having a cold. Feeling sick without beeing sick, but maybe becoming sick. This non-wanted sate of body and mind brought on that I didn't really feel like doing anything. Didn't feel like practice, didn't feel like leaving my bed and I really didn't feel like waking up in the mornings.
But I did wake up and rolled out of bed and I might been taking it slow with my practice but I've been teaching and horseback riding and meeting friends and recorded a commersial for the Christmas Show. All very, very non-boring things!!
But back to the question for the evening: How should I end this boring/absolutley non-boring week,,, ? The answer is: Pizza =)

Glasses, fire and a wedding.

The day before a had my stiltwalk gig I stated to look after my really long black pants and I couldn't find them anywhere. Ok, I thought, this is a sign that I shouldn't stiltwalk or that I need new pants. I desided that I didn't need new pants but that I shoud take in consideration to stop stiltwalking - after the gig was completed. Phoned one of my stilwalker colleagues and asked if I could borrow his pant, witch I could. Without trying them on I realised that it wasn't the brightest idea. He is 182cm long, I am 165. He weighs 80+kg and is built like a belgan blue acrobat, I am - not that. So instead of drowning in way to big stiltpants I desided that I needed new pants anyway. So I phoned The Theatre Shop. Unfortunally Michelle didn't have the time to do it (this was 21h before they had to be ready), so I pulled out my old sewingmashine and jumped to it. Sometimes it's good to have those (in my case: hidden) skills =)

Yesterday when I woke up and I had a whole day with 6hours of stiltwalking in my new pants to do I didn't feel up for it at all. I felt sore and grumpy and I didn't want to do my morning practice. So I didn't.

On set with always (almost always anyhow) sunny Maria Zeniou the hours flew by and we had a great time beeing really dorky and doing PR for Specsavers.

When I got home I ate a lot, went to bed super early and slept for 14hours! So now I'm ready for some more stiltwalk action and tonight I'm doing some fire eating at a friends wedding. I love weddings. I like them so much might even want one, if I ever find a groom... Details, details.
