It was a beautiful morning on Glastonbury Tor today. 

I was the only one up there for a long time. 
 
One of those days where I just kept on marvelling at the beauty of it all. 
 
This was the first one I took before sunrise showing flood water on the levels from St Michael's tower.

 Those who have a 'why' to live, 

can bear with almost any 'how'.

 Friend, how will the light of love 

Enter the world 

If not through you 

No one else can do this 

It is your uniqueness, your lens 

The light needs to shine 

 You ask, ‘how do I do that?’

 I will tell you 

 

Clear up your shadow 

Face your darkness 

Open your heart 

Stop lying about your smallness 

And meet others without your armor 

 Everything else will be given to you.

 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

 A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. 

So he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusion.

- Alan Watts -

 


 

 

 Most people spend a lifetime running from themselves into the arms of other people. 

If you want a love story get comfortable with difficult conversations and facing the "dark" parts of yourself. 

True love is confronting.

 We tend to think finding the perfect partner will take all our troubles away. 

But whatever we're running from we bring into our relationship. 

Eventually, the "love of our life" or "soul mate" will trigger every single one of our "dark" parts. 

And then we will blame our partner. 

But it was us all along. 

 Through the dark is the only way to the light.

It's a bit grey wet here today in Glastonbury. 

Just the odd glimmer of the sun breaking through.

 Das schönste Meer - 

es ist das noch unbefahrene.

 

 Unsere schönsten Tage - 

es sind die noch nicht gelebten. 

 

 Das allerschönste Wort, das ich Dir sagen wollte - 

es ist das noch nicht ausgesprochene Wort . .

 Come, let us sit in the silence 

Everything will be here 

And if you should whisper your joy 

Or cry some of your pain 

It will be as music 

That arises and dissolves 

Back into the void.

 The vital spark of life 

Is within you 

In each cell 

In the essence 

Of your being 

Each moment is renewal

 Each thought fresh 

You burst into life 

Over and over 

If that spark wasn’t happening 

You wouldn’t be here.

KAVIJI

The greatest wealth

 is a poverty of desires.

- Seneca -



I wish you endless dreams and the furious desire to realize some of them.

 I wish you to love what must be loved, and to forget what must be forgotten.

 I wish you passions.

 I wish you silences. 

 I wish you birdsongs as you wake up and children’s laughter.

 I wish you to respect the differences of others, because the worth and virtues of each person often remain to be discovered.

 I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference, and the negative values of our time. 

I wish you at last to never to give up the search, for adventure, life, love. 

For life is a wonderful adventure and no reasonable person should give it up without a tough fight.

 I wish you above all to be yourself, proud of being and happy, for happiness is our true destiny.

- Jacques Brel -

Goeie voornemens? 

Als je aarzelt, groeit je angst; 

als je waagt, groeit je moed.

 

Goeie voornemens? Als je aarzelt, groeit je angst; als je waagt, groeit je moed.

 
 
- Margaret Atwood - 
 

 

I don’t want next year to be “the one”. 
 
I also don’t want it to be “my year”, someone else can have it. 
 
I would like to slip through 2024 quietly and unnoticed, to remain as lightly scuffed as possible. 
 
An adequate, inconsequential, nothing-to-write-home-about 366 days (it’s a leap year, so already unsettling enough) would be just fine.
 
 I like my years like I like my tea: with biscuits.
 
 That’ll do for me.
 
 
 


 

 Whether you’ve experienced

 the best or worst days of your life

- or both - 

over the past 365 days, 

you’re still here 

in spite of whatever challenges

 colour and shape your life. 

 That’s worth celebrating.

The thing that's important to know

 is that you never know.

 You're always sort of feeling your way.
