About Me — Desiree Driesenaar

Life-curious Grandma with Messy Hair and Dirty Feet — About me stories always make me cringe a little. Yes, I am a writer. Yes, I’m out there big time on social media. But I’m a little out of my comfort zone too. It's just that I’m so curious about what will happen next in the world, that I keep…

Hair and Movement Are Fascinating for Me Right Now — How about You?

Are You Magically Inspired by Cyborgs Or Utterly Disgusted?

A Future Vision — The first time I read the new book by James Lovelock, Novacene, the Coming Age of Hyperintelligence, I was shocked. Utterly shocked. I’m a nature girl. He’s my hero of Gaia Theory. A famous environmental scientist. And now this. So, I read and reread. And then I saw. He was…

How Do We Find the Deep Void of Subconscious? And Why Should We?

We find our courage and connection — Consciousness is the study of many scientists nowadays. Neuroscientists, astrophysicists, and mathematicians alike. And I finally think I have a clue where they are going with their combined theories. I’ll write more details about quantum physics and consciousness soon.

How Does a Nomadic Adventurer Deal with Being Stuck in Boring Holland?

My imagination brings me places — At the end of last year, I was swimming in the Mediterranean. Hiking in the mountains filled with Greek myths and Pan flutes. Doing a Greek project about wild olives. Enjoying nature’s beauty and inspiration. I’m a bit of a mermaid, you know. I love snorkeling and swimming in open…

Why Do We Have So Little Feminine Soul in Our Mechanical, Grey World?

Is dance feminine? And Tai Chi male? — In our world, we suffer from a severe lack of imagination and a lack of soul. Everything is mechanical.

Less Than Half of Our Body Is Human. What Does This Mean for COVID?

57% of our bodies are microbes in family-filled football stadiums — Microbes rule our world. Scary thought? Now that we’ve all been COVID-influenced? No. Don’t be daft. Microbes are really cool little creatures, bacteria, viruses, and microscopic algae, who balance each other out. We can’t stay alive without microbes. It’s just not possible on our planet. They are surfing in the…

Heart-touching Planetary Poetry says it all… — While the moon pulls my tides, the sun gives me focus While static silence speaks to me, the whirling wind just whispers While my hair is unable to move my skin is my radar My bullshit radar Separating truth from fake and honesty from pretending When I start to dance…
