A LONELY SWING forgotten, magical and full of charm. For 5 days I was on a mountain to co-create something that will come dynamically in the fall. I always like to create time and discover paths in nature and wander without a destination. Moving along the river and following some signs on the path, I suddenly found this swing. That someone had dedicated time, passion and a few materials to build it. For his children, for the children of the village, for some big kid like me who will find it by mistake and make a swing by himself in the middle of nowhere? For me, an artist is every person who creates anything, and let no one ever know. I just finished Seth Godin's interesting book, where he lays out the reasons why if you follow the artist's path you will stand out and make a difference. True pioneers invest in trust, originality, leadership, and stories worth sharing. And he passionately argues why you should treat your work like art. Art is neither a gene nor a specific talent. It's a behavior that can be adopted by anyone with a vision that others don't have, and the courage to do something about it. After a while, instead of rocking my girls, I rocked myself a little.
