Ego reached out his thoughts to the world by presenting himself to the public by washing ashore on the dutch coast and on the british coast. Media all over the world got interested in his personage. Invitations brought him to several festivals, happenings and beautiful places where his presence was warmly appreciated and his energy induced a lot of people to think more positive about life.
