Only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core in the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted with the other.

They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now.

Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.

COMMUNICATIE 

This is the real secret of life -

to be completely engaged

with what you are doing in the here and now. 

And instead of calling it work,

realize it is play.

- Alan Watts -

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

 

- Mark Strand, New Selected Poems -

You are stronger

 than the things

 that make you feel weak.

- Unknown -

As a teenager, I didn't want to be me...

 

I wanted to be many different people.

 

 Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me

 

 and that if I managed to connect with them,

 

 they would become aspects of me.

NITCH

 

Quit making excuses, putting it off, complaining about it, dreaming about it, whining about it, crying about it, believing you can't, worrying if you can, waiting until you are older, skinnier, richer, braver, or all around better. Suck it up, hold on tight, say a prayer, make a plan & just do it.

Stilte kan erg verbinden,

 

 als je het durft aan te gaan.

Wat is uw grootste passie? 

Schoonheid.

 Ik leef voor de schoonheid en zoek dat in alles, niet enkel in de liefde maar ook in de natuur, in ­anderen, in hun talenten. Ik kijk naar de wereld zoals een schilder. In mijn hoofd ben ik altijd bezig met composities, cadrages, coloriet, lichtinvallen.

Schoonheid behelst ook lelijkheid. De kracht ervan schuilt precies in die dualiteit. Het een bestaat niet zonder het ander.

- Fleur van Groningen - De Morgen - 

So stay true to your own nature.

 If you like to do things in a slow and steady way,

 don’t let others make you feel as if you have to race.

 If you enjoy depth,

 don’t force yourself to seek breadth.

 If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns.

 Being relatively unmoved by rewards

 gives you the incalculable power

 to go your own way.

- Susain Cain - Quiet - 

Kunst is iets dat niet direct functioneel is,

 waarvan je vaak op het eerste zicht

 niet meteen weet wat het is en waartoe het dient.

 In die disfunctionaliteit ligt haar schoonheid

 en ook haar kracht.

- Dirk de Wachter - 

 

De echte meesters 

komen binnen 

via de achterdeur.

- Lao Tzu - 

Simply be with the discomfort. 

Get curious about it.

 Soften around it.

 Breathe into it

. Give it space, room, some time.

 Forget about understanding, ‘releasing’ or ‘fixing’ it today

 and just allow it to be here, for as long as it needs to be here.

 Let it stay, if it wants to stay.

 Let it go, if it wants to go!

 Let it come back, if it wants to come back.

 Treat it like a welcome guest

 in the vast Rest Home of your being,

 a beloved child that truly belongs.
