Things that are Surprising

Compassion, inside or outside. When people do things that no-one expect from them, or even would notice or appreciate, but things are still done with mercy and generosity.

Old friendship that keeps blooming no-matter what season, storm, war, death, luck or success.

Truly beautifully made objects, jewellery, sculptures, anything small.

To chat about the age of a buddhist sculpture about the stamp and the age of your sculpture (70-80 years), that you had no idea about when you bought it.

Brilliant jokes.

Plum blossoms in February.

Pink red lipsticks.

Coral and neon yellow colours.

When people transfer, make conclusions.

Second chances.

Unthankfulness, especially under the mask of luscious fake gratitude because "it's the right thing to do." Mine or not mine, when it is not honest, it is no-go. Thankfulness, healthy anger and humour are the pills against victim role.

Lili Boulanger.

Absence of compassion. When people cant forgive. When people do forgive it is even more surprising.

Multiplying chaos under the mask of wisdom, in the world where there is not much of an order without those brave actions. Mine or not mine, where is the cure against chaos.

Ignorance, that i usually don’t aware to be honest. But when I do… 

After all, it is only my business, where I want to be fair. And it is always a pleasant surprise that I don’t owe anything to anyone, but myself.

When the dog that has never been seen swimming, jumps into a pond making a hippopotamus splash, making everyone laugh.

When you meet someone unexpectedly in the cafe or on the street.

When a friend tells your pine necklace delivered joy to workers of the temple in Kyoto, and they have asked who has made it, because it looks like it was done here, but they would know if so.

When the client tells the story why they choose your jewellery, and it is something mystical and old.

A phone call at night.
