De uitslag van de landelijke 2023 verkiezingen in Nederland zou zich als volgt kunnen laten lezen…
Voor in het museum tezijnertijd. Kunnen onze kinderen nog eens terugkijken en er even voor gaan zitten. Hier mijn kleindochter Nine Jackie in 2084 met haar man.

Deep in the forest, this mushroom (Russula ochroleuca, geelwitte russula) shows fifty shades of yellow. It is a wonder of nature. Its architecture is a miracle on its own.

The sunlight tells the story of election day (for a new Dutch parliament) through the stained glass window. It seems to be a sign from above. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the pattern appeared on the wall while enjoying my coffee in the company of my son-in-law and one of my grandsons.
Could the fuzzy pattern be a metaphor for the results on this day? I thought. What is it trying to say to me? Which story is written here? Anyway, the scattered colours lead to a range of personal reflections about the state and future of our society and Nature, this on the morning after the (impressive) day before. The pattern has some mysticism in it. And beauty.

On election day, the quietness of the forest brought this autumn palette. The colours are vividly related to pleasant summer memories.

The stones of this city hall are many hundreds of years old. The shutter is made of wood from a late medieval forest. Despite its long history and tradition, present-day respect for the government has come to a new low point.
Elections have become a moment of regaining respect for those by whom we, citizens, are choosing a new team of people who can and may represent us. And therefore, it is all about respect for ourselves.
Let us celebrate the hope of good governance and prepare to improve things. Tomorrow is cleaning day (election in The Netherlands). We know what is at stake: the life of our children. Let’s go!
