About Maturity

The process towards maturity is an interesting one. It takes time, care and dedication to reach this state (of perfection). We put a reminder on our wall. Maturity always leads to new perspectives. We know this by heart and soul.

For this chili pepper, this process results in a dynamic pattern of facets and completely new breaking indexes, an enriched spiciness and an increased palette of flavours and fragrances.

Sky-blue Mushroom

It is a form of art on its own, the sky-blue mushroom (Entoloma hochstetteri). It is home in the forests throughout New Zealand. This colour blue is exceptional for mushrooms. The contrast with the brown/green forest colour palette is remarkable.

Rocky Mountain High

The Rocky Mountains made a considerable impression during our 2010 hiking trip through Canada. Here is an art expression. It is John Denver who is connected to the discovery of this part of the world. This is about my respect for the dimensions and dynamics, which are much larger than me, myself and I.

This view gives me calm and comfort in the loud, noisy, screamy atmosphere of election time. It provides a reflection on the higher connections to be made.
