TIME

time to play

How is time defined nowadays? Is the fast pace gone? Is slow working, slow living and slow food taking over the Italian households?

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH ALL THE EXTRA TIME THEY GAINED?

Do we have extra time now or not? Is there more time to think,
to sleep, to be, to make things we always wanted to do? Or is there
too much time that needs to be killed? A waiting for better times?
Or is this situation acutally very time consuming?

We can only talk about our experience. We should have more time, but the days are passing as fast as before. The weather is determining more then ever how we feel and act. Unmotivated or full of energy.
We have many small projects, work to finish, new work to start.
Quality time with our community, – like we never had before . . .

After easter, we plan to make a therapeutic fasting – finally there is the
TIME to do that. They say for a 5 day long diet, you should take holidays, – stay at home. Perfect! Take time to relax, to move a little and have someone along with you. We will report on that the following week and we would be curious to hear about your time
struggle and experiences.

Keep your rythm.

Yours, ZeBa

CLEAR SKY – Freedom or oppression?

How does it feel when you look into the sky?

I see a blue sky, within different shades of blues. Some clouds and some birds are introducing spring with their sounds. There are no vapour trails from the aircraft visible. The pure blue sky is with no human traces. I feel free but also caught. Something is clearly changing.

The situation affects our mind and body. Do we feel freedom or opression? Freedom for our mind, oppression for the body? Or is the clean air purifying our bodies and therefore making us stronger and more resistant to do what we want?

Is there a new dynamic and understanding evolving, that brings a different form of freedom and movement?

In one point we can be certain. The reduced air pollution is beneficial for our health.

“Air pollution, research shows, lowers our ability to fight off infections.” The article by Jamie Smith Hopkins discusses the effects and affects of polluted air in cities and industrial areas compared to the health of humans, in speciality lung problems.

Now, most of the companies and industries lowered their production, therefore the air quality should rise?

Will the situation change aswell in Alto Adige? And how?

social –––––––……….. distancing

Social Distancing in times of Covid19

This very unhuman action is OUR challenge to reduce infections.

But paradoxically, we need to have much closer contact with our loved ones during this time to prevent loneliness. How can we do this without being able to hug each other?

SEND LOVE, SHARE THOUGHTS

Safety and Health Magazin has generated a list of tips for you: “COVID-19 pandemic: Tips to remain ‘sane and safe’ during social distancing”, March 18, 2020 // https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/19578-covid-19-pandemic-tips-to-remain-sane-and-safe-during-social-distancing

Are there any other positive effects of social distancing besides stopping the virus?

We think YES. It’s not bad if everyone slows down a little. But we also know, that dealing with yourself is not always easy. If you manage though, you might love it! 😉

We also came across an article today that shows some positive impacts about social distancing in big cities:

How can we foster change?

Studies show, that in some regions the abrupt stop of our activities lead to a quick recovery of nature. We have to say that this is a state – we, as eco social designers, dreamed of. Just not under those circumstances.

But that’s where we are now. What can we do with it?

Our concern is, that everything will go back to „normality“ when we mastered the crisis. But we think that if we can make a change now, we can be better prepared for the future, with all the new challenges that might come.

Can we foster a change?

A few articles we find worth reading dealing with the environmental change:
