'Theunisbloemen' 2023 - Oil on canvas - 70x50cm
Onagra flowers - Oenothéra biennis - may look dull and faden during the day, but at night they liven up and become luminous. And yes, Sharp Eye, there are also candles crawling about, a gimmick by Leila Hanim, (from Louis de Bernières 'Birds Without Wings') in her tantalizing conquest of the masters' heart. ¿ How can one possibly get high on soup?
Easily! Just don't eat anything for 4 days. Because I'm blessed with an excellent health (thank you dearly beloved parents for all the nature and nurture), I volunteered as a guinea pig for the natural immunotherapy WF i.e. Water Fasting. This is the principle: for consecutive days (up to max. 41) just drink water, no food whatsoever, in order to 'reset' the human metabolic mechanisms. Finding out whether an average person (me) is able endure 1 day without food was the goal. A challenge seeming really really very out of the league and way too masochistic for a PrimiDiva like me. Guess what, I did it for 4 days! Without significant discomfort!! The only mentionable side effect (harmless and moreover pleasant) was the spontaneous high I experienced afterwards while enjoying my first bowl of soup. Life is beautiful. |
