“Yes, you can stay at my place until you figure out your plan.” I was utterly blown away by the generosity of a new friend I just met in person for a few days. Still being strangers last week, we’ve already felt like old friends after a whole day of conversation on art, travel, cooking, gardening, couch surfing, sexuality, spirituality… This is precisely what I miss from the US – diverse & in-depth discussion on topics I am passionate about.
Can I say I actually feel like home here? I can’t exactly put my finger on the specific reasons, but everything feels foreign yet familiar (sort of like Déjà vu) - the bus rides, the streets, the parks, the meaningful dialogues, and the long-lost feeling of aloneness, etc. My second host shares my heart on sustainable development as well as poverty in the globe. Simply moved by encountering another individual who is aspired to building bridges for the brilliant mind and the needy, I too continue to ponder on how I as an artist can use my creativity on making our world a better place.
不知何解，一切都有似曾相識的感覺，由坐公共巴士、在公園及街上遊蕩到有意思的傾談和久違了的孤獨，我彷彿回到家 ﹣ 一個重視和賞識多樣性與大不同的世界。
在倫敦遇到的新朋友，一個又一個在幾天內因大家的真誠及共通點而成為知己，我終於又可以再享受天南地北的深入討論，話題遊走於藝術、旅遊、烹飪、園藝、沙發客、多性關係、靈性信仰、持續發展以及世界貧窮之間。當聽到一位新朋友想致力作能者與有下層的橋樑時，我這個小小藝術家亦决心繼續尋找運用創意去令社會更美好的方法。
