One of my room mates is a surgical tech. He talked about a client who had a giant tumor removed from his nose. The nose area was left bar of skin and the surgeon in charge cut a shape of skin from the forhead leaving skin attached between the eyes and simply twisted the skin down over the nose are and shaped it into place.
This demonstrates to me how cancers parts of our society can be removed and another part of our society can be flipped upside down to return us to our senses. The work may require a lot of skill and pain, however, we want our nose.
In art I think of Picasso putting the facial features in different places. In current life I think of neighbors making rocket stoves out of old oil barrels. In my living situation I think of using all the peices of this old dentist building to build a new livelyhood. All the wood can go to build chicken coops and garden beds and biochar. This seems to be not always practicle we have ended up burning some of the wood that is short and has many nails in it. The balance between time and resources needs to be managed.
I personally have to make lists and estimate how long it will take to get the nails out of a room full of boards and then proceed knowing the numbes I am faced with.
I also have started playing with kids and using yoga moves when I play power rangers or fairy princesses because I want to integrate skills and life.
