After taking part in a "Write with the Heart" workshop in connection with a "C. J. Jung Seminar" in Sweden in the summer of 2009, and writing the following in a 3-minute writing exercise, I realised that my writing was too serious and needed lightening up a bit to include more 'play'.

The same opening line for the 3-minute exercise was: "There’s a man with a moustache....."

"There’s a man with a moustache on the side on my neighbour’s van, on his knees with an insulating machine in his hand. Action man. Goal-related. A job to do and one he has to do well. Otherwise he won’t have any more work! Selling a service. Market-oriented. Where we are today. Humanity has to shop its way out of the economic crisis. What about reflection? Alternatives. Perhaps the system is rotten and if we shop till we drop we’ll fall through the hole never to be seen again. The man with the moustache is kneeling. Praying?"
