Wearing the nations daily…
I love literally wearing the nations, not so easy these days, with globalization, but I’ve managed to still find a sense of place or origin in costume! Wearing a nation to me is to pray for them. And also to empathize—to “try them on”!

We wear to know, as Wem Wenders, the german film maker, put it in “Notes on fashion and cities” (a great documentary about a Japanese artist! Looking forward to his new film on the Pope!).

We wear different metaphors daily. Today, I am wearing Iceland, New Zealand, Israel, Belgium, Japan, Germany, Holland, and Italian (my Pantofola d’Oro-golden slippers, shoes!) ones. Trying to sense what each region does best.
We are all mixed metaphors!

Today, I feel like St Paul (but hopefully less hyperbolic, but hopefully in prayer as much for those i’ve been given to Love)!

I’ve always liked wearing the symbols of cities and nations. Hopefully they all will one day work into one outfit, fit for a King, not me, but a better one!
In the meantime, i’m in dress rehearsal! Plus, I love wearing the nations, to see who has what gifts! Photo to follow, it’s hard wearing so many nations at once, but it just happened today! Plus, wearing many nations, makes the coolest fashion statement ever! One, which i hope points towards eventual collaboration at some Great Banquet or party!
