'It's not as if our lives
are divided simply into light and dark
there's shadowy middle ground ~
recognizing and understanding
the shadows
is what a healthy intelligence does'

- Haruki Murakami -

 

 

Nos existences sont faites de chemins complexes,

 périlleux et inextricables. 

Il s'agit de guider notre instinct fragile 

dans un équilibre toujours précaire

 entre les émotions de notre cœur

 et la sagesse de notre raison. 

- Clyde Barrow -

 

The path that takes us straight to its destination

 is a dull one indeed. 

It carries only the one message

 and when we have read it, we have read it.

 The winding road, however, is a continuous story. 

Each bend is a mystery and rounding it a discovery.

- C.R.Milne -

Any confusion you experience

 has within it the essence of wisdom automatically. 

So as soon as you detect confusion, 

it is the beginning of some kind of message. 

At least you are able to see your confusion, 

 which is very hard.

 Ordinarily people do not see their confusion at all, 

 so by recognizing your confusion,

 you are already at quite an advanced level. 

So you shouldn’t feel bad about that; 

you should feel good about it.

- Chögyam Trungpa -

 

Complaints are prayers 

for more of that which we say we don’t want…

read that twice! 

What you focus on expands. 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 Awaken people's curiosity. 

It is enough to open minds;

 do not overload them. 

 Put there just a spark.

 If there is some good inflammable stuff, 

it will catch fire.

- Anatole France -

 

 

Never apologize for how you feel. 

No one can control how they feel. 

The sun doesn’t apologize for being the sun. 

The rain doesn’t say sorry for falling. 

Feelings just are.

- Iain S. Thomas -

 

 

The miracle is this: 

 

the more we share 

 

the more we have.

 

- Leonard Nimoy -

 CHANGE YOUR STORY,

CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

 

SOCIALE VEERKRACHT

door anderen te helpen,  

help je jezelf ook.

 

Even alles op een rijtje zetten.

 Trying to explain music 

is like trying to dance architecture 

- Thelonious Monk -

Let's normalize 

asking questions for clarity

instead of moving

based on the story 

you've created in your mind

whick may or may not be true.

Clarity

 preserves all relationships.

There’s a sunrise

 and a sunset

 every single day,

 and they’re absolutely free.

 Don’t miss so many of them.

- Jo Walton -

 

 

I cannot make you understand. 

I cannot make anyone understand 

what is happening inside me. 

I cannot even explain it to myself.

- Franz Kafka - 

 

 

 

Le meilleur 

pour les turbulences de l'esprit,

 c'est apprendre. 

C'est la seule chose

 qui n'échoue jamais.

- Marguerite Yourcenar -

 

 

 Sometimes silence

 Is a blessing 

you didn’t know

 you needed

 

 There’s nothing like standing at the edge of the ocean. 

With each wave barreling in one after the other, our senses can’t help but be ignited. 

Smelling that salty and briny sea breeze, seeing its vastness as our eyes scan the horizon to try to comprehend its end, and feeling so small in the middle of its mighty roar or quiet stillness: these are emotions only the ocean can stir.

NU bestaat niet

Als ik NU zeg 

is het al voorbij. 

 

 

 

 

 

Mijn schaduw en ik

zijn altijd samen

onlosmakelijk verbonden.

Soms licht soms donker 

Yin en Yang 

 

Altijd aanwezig, in het geniep,

 

zelfs al merk ik het niet.

Soms loop ik hem achterna

maar meestal volgt hij mij blindelings,

 

 hondstrouw.

HEB DE MOED OM TERUG TE KEREN

 

 

 

Een stap terug zetten 

is ook vooruitgang.

 

 

 

Gazing into 

The near distance

 Time softens

 

 Merci Nadine!
