Resourcefulness

I love going to my uncle Brian's house, there's always something new to look at- I particularily like the pillar drill in his workshop- Its connected to another machine, then to a motor to run.. it reminds me a bit of India. Which got me thinking, is resourcefulness a generational or cultural thing- or maybe a mixture of both... I know that its foreign to most people my age, which make me think that its generational. Though Stefano suggested once that maybe the western way of being resourceful is by getting something for a bargain price. I still think there are more practical ways of being resourceful though.

South End

One Sunday my dad took me and my sister around the area formally known as South End. We went to where my dad and my grandfather grew up, before they were removed from their homes and put into specific racially segregated areas. It's so strange to think this happened to my parents an their friends, but the more I return home, the more I realize how scared this country and its people still are from apartheid. Julian's advice on 'meeting people where they're at and working with them to move forward together' has never made more sense.

hmmm... clean

I saw this in one of our lcal super markets, I like it- got me thinkig about the idea of public health and education. Most people forget to wash their hands and cover their mouths when coughing, little things like that. Just a thought...
