Cancel

I have a tendency and some would say a very bad habit of changing my mind at the last minute. I tend to live by my own clock and sometimes I forget that others live by routine. A friend in Lokeren,(Belgium) who is helping me with some upcoming presentations of artist in Antwerp and I had a IM conversation this morning. In it he made a statement..... a rather crude statement that "not all people don't come when they say they will...we keep our appointments". This remark was made in reference to me not attending an event in Lokeren about two weeks ago, well actually a music festival the city has for ten days every year and a meeting that we have planned for the next day with a possible sponsor. My response back was "or those who don't live by the clock...you can miss out on a lot by living by the clock". Bye was his response. I never really feel that one should have to live their life by a schedule. Yes, business be it in the world of art, academics or corporate has to be done on schedules because it's a rigid part of what has to be done to survive (sad but true). In life however , everyday life that's there to enjoy, is it wrong to change your mind so that you enjoy your life? Should those that may feel disappointed really be? Could something better come out of the concept of cancellation when you except it as part of the process of life and not this negative situation?. Nothing about art this time...or maybe it is...or isn't.
