Let's start from the tail of the donkey...

So here I’m. Living one more month in Basel, Switzerland.

My life right now? Involved in

- art projects (GRAHM: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TvBx0m0EZY),

- youth gatherings (www.mysterydrama.org),

- cultural visions (http://workcamps.idem-network.org/en/workcamps-2010/details/6)

and beside all that...

- crafts (http://picasaweb.google.com/booklet2000/MobelKleineUbersicht#).

Carpentry was also the reason to come to Switzerland five years ago. Before that i have been travelling across europe, by hitchhike of course. Something, i still do.

One of the most inspireing places I have been, before starting my travelling, was in scotland. Spending one year in a community of adults with learning difficulties. Exploring not only the beauty of woodwork, but also getting to know another treasure on planet earth:

>>> caring and working together with people in need! <<<

That was far different of what I did before! Spending 3 1/2 years in an insurance office in Germany I just learned one maxime: TIME IS MONEY.

I don’t quite know jet, why I have chosen this way after school. The future might have the answere... And I also hope, to figer out, why I had the luck to move to Germany, when I was eight.

Leaving my country Poland. Leaving everything behind. The gift for that was the experience of estern and western europe, their different cultures, traditions, behaviors and languages.

So here we are, arriving at the beginning of the hole story... my birth. And what a suprise! The donkey, which we have been looking at, observing and travelling with, turns out to be a great, wonderfull and strong LION!!! And all the way from it’s tail, through the back, over the head - and now, we just sit on the tip of the lions nose...

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhh...... The way of the warrior beginns.
