“Alleen verlies is een eeuwig bezit”

♥ A letter from MOM and DAD
My Child,
When I get old, I hope you understand and have patience with me
In case I break a plate,
or spill soup on the table because I'm loosing my eyesight,
I hope you don't yell at me.
Older people are sensitive.
..always having selfpity when you yell
When my hearing gets worse and i cant hear what you're saying,
I hope you don't call me "Deaf!"
please repeat what you said or write it down
I'm sorry, my Child.
...I'm getting older
When my knees get weaker,
I hope you have the patience to help me get up
Like how I used to help you while you were little,
Learning how to walk.
Please bear with me
When I keep repeating myself like a broken record,
I hope you just keep listening to me
Please don't make fun of me
or
get sick of listening to me
Do you remember when you were little and you wanted a balloon?
You repeated youself over and over until you got what you wanted
...... Please also pardon my smell.
I smell like an old person
Please don't force me to shower.
My body is weak.
Old people get sick easily when they're cold.
I hope i don't gross you out.
Do you remember when you were little?
I used to chase you around because you didn't want to shower.
I hope you can be patient with me
When I'm always cranky
It's all part of getting old.
You'll understand when you're older
And if you have spare time,
I hope we can talk, Even for a few minutes
I'm always all by my self all the time.
and have no one to talk to
I know you're busy with work
Even if you're not interested in any stories,
Please have time for me.
Do you remember when you were little?
I used to listen to your stories about your teddy bear.
When the time comes and I get ill and bedridden,
I hope you have the patience to take care of me.
IM SORRY
if i accidentally wet the bed or make a mess
I hope you have the patience to take care of me during the last few moments of my life
Im not going to last much longer, anyways
When the time of my death comes,
I hope you hold my hand and give me the strength to face death
And don't worry...
When i finally meet our Creator...
I will whisper in his ear
to BLESS you
Because you loved your Mom and Dad.
Thanks you so much for your care.
We love you.
with much love,
Mom and Dad
Please don't leave your Parents alone.
And LOVE THEM !

Tuesdays with Morrie
When you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
Death ends a life, not a relationship.
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.
We must love one another or die.
No one exists alone.

Never Give Up Movie
Never Give Up Movie: We cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often don't know our own potential. Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again. They were wrong...

One Art | ||
| by Elizabeth Bishop | ||
The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn't hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster. --Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. | ||

Wat ons in de eerste plaats irriteert
is het feit dat onze verlangens onvervuld blijven.
Maar het helpt niet om overstuur te zijn
want het brengt de vervulling van onze verlangens geen stap naderbij.
We moeten ons best doen om onze gelukkige gemoedsgesteldheid
door niets te laten verstoren.
Het maakt niet uit of we nu, op dit moment lijden,
of in het verleden geleden hebben,
er is geen enkele reden om ongelukkig te zijn.

Ik werd geboren
Ik werd geboren
en iemand kwam aansjokken, zette een ladder
tegen mij aan en klom naar boven
met op zijn rug mijn ziel en mijn gedachten.
Het begon te regenen
en hij sprong naar beneden, holde weg
om te schuilen, riep nog over zijn schouder:
‘Wees gelukkig! Wees maar gelukkig!'
De zon verscheen
maar er klom niemand meer naar boven,
niemand legde uit hoe ik mijn gedachten
moest gebruiken,
niemand bracht schaduw,
niemand haalde de ladder weg,
niemand zei dat er niemand meer zou komen.

This comparison really kills.
Comparison is degrading, it perverts one's outlook.
And on comparison one is brought up.
All our education is based on it and so is our culture.
So there is everlasting struggle to be something other than what one is.
The understanding of what one is uncovers creativeness, but comparison breeds competitiveness, ruthlessness, ambition, which we think brings about progress.
Progress has only led so far to more ruthless wars and misery than the world has ever known.
To bring up children without comparison is true education."

J’aime cette phrase tirée d’une lettre qu’un homme avait envoyée à sa femme au moment de partir pour la guerre civile américaine.
Il avait assez peu de chances d’en revenir.
« Si je ne reviens pas physiquement, lui écrit-il,
n’oublie pas que chaque fois que tu sentiras la brise sur ton visage,
ce sera moi qui serai revenu t’embrasser. »
Cette intuition, j’aimerais la partager avec ma femme et mes enfants.
Qu’au moment où ils sentiront la caresse du vent sur leur visage,
ils se diront : « Tiens, c’est papa qui vient m’embrasser.

Cease trying to work everything out with your minds.
It will get you nowhere.
Live by intuition and inspiration
and let your whole life be a revelation.

And no matter what anybody says about grief and about time healing all wounds,
the truth is,
there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating
and the last breath is taken.

There would be no chance at all of getting to know death if it happened only once. But fortunately, life is nothing but a continuing dance of birth and death, a dance of change. Every time I hear the rush of a mountain stream, or the waves crashing on the shore, or my own heartbeat, I hear the sound of impermanence. These changes, these small deaths, are our living links with death. They are death’s pulses, death’s heartbeat, prompting us to let go of all the things we cling to.

The whole of life is just like watching a film.
Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.
- Moving Pictures, Terry Pratchett -
Patti Smith Within You Without You
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you
- Patti Smith - Within You Without You -
Relax
Beste,
Veel van de dingen
waar je nu met veel ijver achteraanholt,
zullen er na je dood niet toe gedaan hebben.

Zing je eigen lied
Ik wil zingen zoals vogels zingen
zonder erover na te denken wie er luistert
en wat ze ervan vinden.

So many people enter and leave your life!
Hundreds of thousands of people!
You have to keep the door open so they can come in!
But it also means you have to let them go!
Martha Graham Light(part1)
Er is een vitaliteit, een levenskracht
Een energie, een impuls
Die door jou vertaald wordt
In actie
En omdat er maar één jij is
In alle tijden
Is deze expressie uniek
En als je ze blokkeert
Zal ze in geen enkele andere
Uitingsvorm ooit bestaan
De wereld zal ze niet kennen
Het is niet aan jou om
Te bepalen hoe goed ze is
Of hoe waardevol
Of zelfs hoe ze is in vergelijking tot
Andere expressievormen
Het is aan jou om te zorgen dat ze
De jouwe blijft
Zuiver en direct
Het is aan jou
Om het Kanaal open te houden.

Detachment
And never have I felt so deeply at one
and the same time so detached from myself
and so present in the world."
- Albert Camus
Y'know it's funny, I spend a lot of time trying to not have to deal... to not really commit.
I'm a substitute teacher, there's no real responsibility to teach.
Your responsibility is to maintain order, make sure nobody kills anybody in your classroom,
and then they get to their next period.
I was in my room for 2 hours and saw one parent.
Where are they? Where is everybody?
It's uncanny, no air raid sirens, not bombs.
It doesn't happen that way. It starts with a whisper, and then nothing.
[DOUBLETHINK is on the blackboard, from Orwell's "1984".
When none of the students knows what it means he tells them]
It's deliberately believing in lies while knowing they're false.
I don't remember much, I lost the habit.
You can't think in this place, you can't make new memories.
Whatever is on my mind, I say it as I feel it,
I'm truthful to myself; I'm young and I'm old,
I've been bought and I've been sold, so many times.
I am hard-faced, I am gone. I am just like you.
That bag doesn't have any feelings.
It's empty.
I don't have any feelings that you can hurt either. Okay.
I understand your angry.
I used to be very angry too, okay, I get it.
You have no reason to be angry with me because,
I'm among the few people let's see tryin' to give you an opportunity.
Now im'na ask you to just seat down, and do your best,
and I'll give you a piece of paper, how is that?
Some of us, believed that we can make a difference,
and then sometimes, we wake up,
and we realized, we failed.
and we realized, we failed.
