Maya asked me to write about us, about things I like, plants for example. I can try, but I am for purely physical work! I wonder what I know about plants? Well, almost nothing. Like with most things in life, I know the basics, and the rest is mostly improvisation and my gut feeling. I’m to lazy to study.
But I’m fortunate to have that crazy sister who loves challenges; she is self-taught and persistent until she breaks in. But she gets stuck in the end, a handful of ideas but too little time, a lot of patience for delicate embroidery but too little for an open car window… Luckily, she has me for washing all the dishes after making those beautiful cooking; I tidy up the balcony after planting strawberries, I pick up all the threads after tailoring that crazy jacket… I am Mrs Wolf. And I am there to contain her energy and direct its flow.
So now, as mothers, we are still sharing the same roles. She does fine creative things with kids , even manage to take photos of all that. And I? I fall on skate parks, on roller skates, bicycles, water cities… Fortunately, she is there to document that too…
I’m thinking about how should this place be different from others? Maybe it doesn’t have to! Perhaps we can make a small community of people who have similar halves, quarters, or other fractions with which they perfectly function, or maybe and not as always. We can show that even in our 40s, we didn’t find ourselves in everything, but we are working hard on that; Some less, some more successfully.
