This post by the Dutch artist and craftsperson, Paula Kuitenbrouwer, puts me in mind of our recent discusions about not forgetting the importance of touch over technology in human relations, however beneficial technology may be. J.D.

Thank you for sharing the beauty and inspiration:

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.

The BeZine 
I find them (many, many of the people who use headphone sets at museums) annoying and irksome as they continue to stand in front of a work during the entire talk on the piece in which they stand in front of … completely unaware that anyone else is in line behind them, as the line gathers 20 or so persons.

Yes, that is another right observation. There is simply no interaction and that is such a shame. Nobody will ‘meet’ another in a museum any more. Museums become cold places were no spontaneous friendships are formed. (No wonder we need all these dating companies to ‘meet’ a potential partner).
