The bottom line of almost all self-help, spiritual, or religious literature is that our ability to be happy is determined by our ability to stay in the present moment. Only when we’re present do we see beauty, enjoy gratitude, and experience happiness. We all know this already. The problem is most of us are extremely habituated to living in our thoughts. The rule about habits is that whatever you do most takes over. Baby steps seem to be in order. Establishing a Foothold First of all, forget about staying mindful 24-7.

Social Benches by Jeppe Hein Incredible design of benches by artist Jeppe Hein… Jeppe Hein Concept incroyable de bancs par l’artiste Jeppe Hein… Elzo Durt Elzo Durt (from Belgium) is not a musician but his work flow it’s like a dj, he is a genius to mixed pop art, surrealism, digitalism, comics style, and psychedelic art of 60s and 70s. His art is “computer pasting” so he spend a lot of time costantly has to renew his picture database, find new images in old book, magazine, medical studies, botanical illustrator, etc. He scan them, paste them togheter, create a coherent composition, after he add color, detail after detail. The last step is silk-screen printing, a technique that allows he to obtain very bight color. Throught his characters and their grotesque surrounding, he examines the relationship between life and death. www.elzo.be
