THE ANNUAL REPORT

Dear,
Tax office, stock holders, ladies & gentlemen, finally, here's my Annual Report. I know you're busy people, so I compressed 'report into one happy week, my Ideal week.

Annual report, Monday morning,
With a little help from 2-3 cups of hot coffe, freshly grinded with an axe, my ideal week slowly gets going.
I build, repair or make things. Materials from nature such as clay, lime, wood, head sized rocks or birch bark are fantastic to work with. Or just some recycled junk from a backyard. A piece of hemp string and a rusty old nail can make me happy for hours.

I don't make a lot of money, but I walk barefoot quite a deal. I can do shoe walking too, but barefoot walking has its own techniques. One thing is that you'll have to walk slower, and by doing that you'll experience more of the world around you. And walking barefoot in the forest requires a totally different technique than barefoot walking more urban environments.

On the ideal barefoot walk I shake hands with relaxed and environmental friendly people. We're surrounded by organic food, flowers and plants. I meet funky insects with cool sounds. They're fooling around in the air, buzzing and doing their thing. We're all hanging out at the fire place. Dancing in the smoke and cooking food. No stress. Taking care of each other and simply doing our best to enjoy life down here on Earth, without destroying it. In a town or a village I try to support the small and independent places and peoples. I drop in at cafés, bars and music clubs, maybe a few horse shoe shops, bass builders, bread bakers, belly shakers or shady underground newspaper makers.

Music & crowds
My Ideal Week also contains playing music, some kind of instrument every day. I do it alone or with other folks. If it sounds good you might gather a crowd. And If you get a real good groove going, you can make the crowd dance. This phenomenon is universal and old. I wouldn't know, but some say it's older than human history itself..?

If you for some strange reason have to split up a crowd, the best way is by putting some real lousy music into it. The crowd will vanish in a minute. That's the natural behavior of a crowd.

But still, the most common way to split up a crowd, is by using aggressive police forces with ugly helmets, stressed horses and brain washed German Shepherds. It's very expensive, old fashioned and negative. A bad sounding flute would do the same job fast and with no violence at all. And remember this; -Aggressive helmet guys can never make a crowd dance. A good flute can.

How to end my Ideal Week?
Yes, all this is hard work. So, at the end of my 'Ideal Week' I have to get naked and get into a Sauna, if there's any around. A proper Sauna will clean your body and refill the soul. And when Monday morning comes, I get the axe, grind my coffe, and a new week will slowly arrive. And that's about it.

Well, there's one more thing. You can hardly call it an income; it's more like a genetic, timeconsuming activity. But I love it. You see, I've got this never ending search for stories going on. I look for them every day, can't help it. Everything on this planet has its own story. Sometimes they're hidden, and some stories run away when you find them. They just don't want to get caught. When I find those runners, I watch them, and let them disappear again.

Why? Because I believe that life needs a few secrets and undiscovered parts to keep its magic. Just like my Annual Report.

Annual Report according to WIKIPEDIA
"An annual report is a comprehensive report on a company's activities throughout the preceding year. Annual reports are intended to give shareholders and other interested people information about the company's activities and financial performance. Most jurisdictions require companies to prepare and disclose annual reports, and many require the annual report to be filed at the company's registry. Companies listed on a stock exchange are also required to report at more frequent intervals (depending upon the rules of the stock exchange involved)."
