Here you see my friend Lhamo and I.
We met in Lhasa, Tibet, where he was part of Save the Children's education team.
I told him, that I'd really like to have a tibetan stamp, but I didn't know how to go about it.
He said he would think
about it, as it should be based on a word that somehow links with my name.
When we met again, Lhamo came up with a proposal that really took me by surprise. He suggested a word, which means 'the best of light' or 'the brightest light'.
As I have had some comments, from some other friends, about the light in my paintings, I was very amazed about his suggestion and immediately agreed to it.

Lin Feng and her 'grandmother' Zhang Jiyan have given me a Chinese stone stamp. Here they are demonstrating how to use it correctly.
The
use of stone stamps is a very ancient Chinese tradition, which has some do and don't e.g. there is a mark on the side where to put your right hand thump in order not to get it upside down.

Here I'm in good company of Man and her husband Pasang - and Lin as well, she has been an indispensable translator.
Man & Pasang currently run 4 cafe / bakery / restaurants
in Lhasa. They put an emphasis on traditional bread and food, made with quality grain and their personal 'twist'. It's very tasty!

Flotte billeder fra Hessel, hvor jeg genoplever en dag med mit barnebarn.
Den vil vi gerne eje, men plads savnes. 🧐
Det et meget smukt efterårsbillede.
Jeg bliver så glad, når jeg ser Hessel fotos. Den samhørighed der lyser ud af de frivillige og børnene. Tænk at vi til daglig har udelukket børnene af vores arbejdsliv nu!
