the arts are coming your way

Tijdens de Fresh Conference dat in januari in Kopenhagen werd gehouden, ontving ik een award voor "most valuable sesssion"  en mocht ik een samenvattend gedicht schrijven en voordragen.
Ik was daar op uitnodiging samen met The Red Line Project naar toe gegaan

Het werd een ode aan de kunsten, het thema van Fresh 2015

“I am not afraid, I was born to do this” - Joan of Arc

A moment of silence
of inner me
stepping into discovery
a moment before ink connected with you
creatively
Li
Li like in line
line like in me with you
even you far away
virtually
joined the journey
sharing a love of learning curiosity and play
flying on the wings of captain Kurt
sharing insides of ancient ways
from Appreciative Inquiry, Theory U and
Etymology about Li.

Theories trying to help you, them and me
into doing with tools in abundance
from pen & paper to beta and working technology.
Autonomy
to me is open to me
to invite to ask to act to dream
to share.

We might look so different
yet we were all once children
all born artists like Picasso once said
making our world we played.

It takes an artist to know an artist
embrace their techniques vision and dreams
invite them on your way
for the artists are ancient, evolving
no fear
coming your way
