KEEP GOING.

NO FEELING 

IS FINAL.
 
 
 



It is neither necessary, nor possible
 to change others.
 
 But if you can change yourself 
you will find 
that no other change 
is needed.

De leugen heeft haast. 
 
De waarheid heeft geduld.

Wat

tegen? 





Is there scientific proof we can heal ourselves? Lissa Rankin, MD





When you’re happy, relaxed, 
 
and free of stress,
 
 the body can accomplish amazing, 
 
even miraculous, feats of self-repair.
 
 
 
 




Our biggest limiting factor
 
 is our minds.

Being ill is such a humbling experience.
It reveals how quick I am to abandon myself
To seek comfort outside of the present moment.
Thank you dearest body
For teaching me to welcome
And trust this moment right now
Even if it’s uncomfortable.
Perhaps this moment is Whole as it is.
Perhaps even in illness all is well.
Perhaps This Here Now
Is what I have been searching for.

Can I talk? 

Yeah, but only

if you can listen. 






Not too tight.
 
 Not too loose.

If you want real control,
drop the illusion of control;
let life have you.
It does anyway.
You're just telling yourself
the story of how it doesn't.


- Byron Katie -






The truth is,

bad things don’t affect us as profoundly

as we expect them to.

That’s true of good things, too.

We adapt very quickly to either.

Telkens twee mensen elkaar ontmoeten, 
zijn er zes mensen aanwezig.
 
Er is ieder zoals hij zichzelf ziet, 
ieder zoals de ander hem ziet, 
en ieder zoals hij echt is. 
 

- William James - 






Wij vinden in het ongeluk meestal de rust weer terug 

die ons door de angst voor het ongeluk ontnomen was.

- EBNER-ESCHENBACH -


 
 
 

Keep walking




TOO MUCH

is said

TOO LOUDLY 








Tussen een stimulus en reactie is een ruimte.
 
 In die ruimte 
hebben wij de mogelijkheid 
om een keuze te maken hoe wij willen reageren.
 
 In onze reactie ligt onze groei en vrijheid.


- Viktor Frankl - 







As time goes on, you'll understand.

What lasts, lasts,

what doesn't, doesn't.

Time solves most things. 

And what time can't solve, 

you have to solve yourself. 



- Haruki Murakami - 






Be a good person, 
 
but don't waste time 
 
proving it.
 
 
 


Stiff Little Fingers - Doesn't Make It Alright


Just because you're nobody
It doesn't mean that you're no good
Just because there's a reason
It doesn't mean it's understood


It doesn't make it alright
It doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it doesn't make it alright

Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against a wall
Then they say 'You got it my way'
They really think they know it all

Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
Doesn't mean you've got to hate him
Doesn't mean you've got to fight


It doesn't make it all
It doesn't make it all
It doesn't make it all right

Iemand die geen pijn kent 
of het zich niet kan verbeelden, 
vind ik oninteressant.

Het leven is ontstaan uit pijn. 

- Dora van der Groen - 



Gedicht van Theo Olthuis.
 
 
 



WEES STERKER

DAN JE EXCUSES 







The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already;

 but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.


  Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God Is Within You
 
 
 
Thanks Chris Martin

If it was so, it might be;
 
 and if it were so, it would be;
 
 but as it isn't, it ain't. 
 
That's logic.

What a strange day 
 
when I found out
 
what I was chasing
 
 wasn't running. 
 
 
- Shira E -








Dying to your own attachments
is a beautiful death,
because this death releases you
into real life.
You have to die as a seed
to live as a tree.


- Mooji -







We have names for everything. 
What if we forgot about those names? 
And we stopped seeing things as something?
 What if we just observed things,
 watched things, 
without giving them a name, 
 without coming to a conclusion? 
What do you think would happen? 
 
- Robert Adams -







Klagers vrezen

 dat ze 

als ze stoppen met lijden

niets overhouden. 


- Saul Bellow - 









Ouder wordend 
weiger je je tijd te verdoen met onzin.

Je laat je masker vallen, 
je kleine ijdelheden
en je valse ambities.


- T.S. Eliot - 




Bedankt Frieda!

Remember 
that when you leave this earth, 
 
you can take with you 
nothing that you have received – 
 
only 
what you have given.
 
 
 
 
 
 



I find the need to remind myself 
 
of the temporariness of a day,
 
 to reassure myself that if I got through yesterday,
 
 I'll get through today. 
 
 
- Gayle Forman - If I stay -






Als kunstenaar moet je risico's durven te nemen en in de breuk durven te staan.

Creëren is een oefening in falen, een voorbereiding op de dood. 

Het is balanceren tussen die levensvitaliteit die je voortstuwt en het voortdurende besef dat al wat je doet in relatie staat tot de dood. 

- Jan Fabre - Kerk & Leven -
