SOCIAL Distancing is a practice that is common a long time ago. In 1666 king Charles 11 ordered closing restaurants, pubs and schools as an answer to the Bubonic Plague, or black death, that spread in London, killing a quarter of its population. Samuel Pepys’ marvelous daily diary spoke about people hiding toilet papers and cheese in holes in their gardens while fleeing their homes to the countryside. Accusations that time against the Dutch who brought the disease, are exactly the same as nowadays of accusing the Chinese!!!! The head of the revolutionary Oliver Cromwell was put on spike, 20 feet long, as a revenge act form the king, to look at the victims of the plague from Westminster hall, after his body being exhumed, many years after his death(1658), tried for treason, severing the head from body!! “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce” K.Marx.

A comment on Heather Spears’ new book “The Creative eye”
Heather Spears, in her new book “The Creative eye”, opens the horizon to everyone thirsty for new vision, new look, and I dare to say exploring new ways to live life. Spears, in her artistic quest of the why and how, is matching what Hayden White tried to explore in the History of Consciousness: creativity, imagination, renaming and redrawing – it is a new philosophical vision that is needed, not only to look back at the past thousands of years of Mesopotamian’s and Egyptian’s art; but, to contemplate an obscure future, and to gaze into our own mystical inner world as well. -A lovely and inspiring book is needed now to read, especially when we are instructed to be at home nowadays-because of Corona.
