I just read this and nodded my head along as I smoked hookah and thought, "huh, perhaps I'm more bohemian than I realized." Loved your take on this subject!

Thank you so much Jade! I have a feeling many of us are way more Bohemian at heart than we realise... we just didn't know we had the choice / courage etc...

Don't you dare give in nor give up on writing down your thoughts, your intuitive perceptions and very straight from the heart musings ... you make me proud and envious too ... at how easy you make it look .... writing .... such a labour of love and ... yes , to listen to that voice that won't remain silent.

Your 'hiatus' made me miss your 'article' in my mailbox!

I love you, my darling T.

As philosopher Claude Alvares famously said: "You have to choose between development and freedom!" He added that there were two ways to get rich: 1. Make shitloads of money. 2. Don't need shitloads of money and search for happiness instead.

Just create. Destiny will take care of the rest. Sure, we have to hustle and a reasonable income is necessary. But that's always been there. What's exciting is that we belong in the ocean of the creative sea!
