after looking at so many overwrought mission storefront hooshes, this struck me as delightfully utilitarian.

in Amsterdam, we went into two stores who were renting for short bursts. One sold ceramics from Portugal and was in that location for only one month. The other was an events stager who's shop bust with joy, enthusiasm and play. Wonder if here in San Francisco this is happening? Sort of odd to enter two shops exercising this practice within a two hour period of exploring between the canals.

Wow. Im just rocking these posts here at 11pm...
I think I just came across another word for Hoosh while geeking out online...
Meraki (Greek word)
"This is a word modern Greeks use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love - when you put something of yourself into what you're doing. Whatever you're doing no matter how trivial. Meraki is often used to describe preparing a meal, arranging a room, choosing decorations, or setting an elegant table"

A few words...
in⋅ter⋅de⋅pend⋅ent: mutually dependent; depending on each other
Interdependent is a favorite of mine....And in order to add some of my own flavoring to the assignment, here are some words that don't exist in English...I hope these are relevant and helpful....
conmocion (n. Spanish) a shared feeling, knowledge, or emotion felt by an entire group.
ostranenie (v. Russian) "is the artistic technique of forcing the audience to see common things in an unfamiliar or strange way, in order to enhance perception of the familiar"
zwischenraum (n. German) the space between things.

Hoosh Time
Hooshed the top shelf on my way out of the house. Going back to Den Bosh where I purchased the ceramic bottle on the
right side. The label is peeling off since I now store chinese herbs in the bottle. It originally had Jongeve which I never drank since security in Amsterdam made me toss out the liquids. So much for traveling on 2 hours of sleep.
Taking lots of reading, my camera and the lexicon.
There is a wonderful wall posting of art movements in the main building as one walks from the nave into the corridor near the library to the right and the board room to the left. Wanted to photo it as I left tonight, but my camera was in my locker in Hooper 1.
By the time I recouped it, I'd forgotten the impulse.
Almost midnight - had a half a sandwich feed to me by my daughter. Role reversal today.
Off to rest and dream.

another guideline
Ask pointed questions. Keep asking. Ask the same question in 3 different ways. Ask different people. Keep all answers.
