Introduction I like to sit... I like to sit in coffee shops wherever I am and watch people or read or surf... I like to sit in my back garden with a beverage and watch the birds and sky and the kids play... I like to sit and contemplate life, God, everything... I love it when I can get together with good friends and talk and eat and share life together... I love to dream and let God reveal the hidden potential in ordinary things to become extraordinary and I love to see that change take place... I love to go to other places and sit and watch the people and the sky and contemplate life from a different perspective, to hear the different sounds and taste the different flavors...
