Our Inner Flame

 

Our inner flame is where we find trust, comfort and hope in times when the ecosystem of our society is in high turbulence. It is essential to keep it burning with creativity and joy. We all know why.

Uitslag Verkiezingen

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.

Fifty Shades of Yellow

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.

Regaining Respect

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!

Rocky Mountain High

The Rocky Mountains made a considerable impression during our 2010 hiking trip through Canada. Here is an art expression. It is John Denver who is connected to the discovery of this part of the world. This is about my respect for the dimensions and dynamics, which are much larger than me, myself and I.

This view gives me calm and comfort in the loud, noisy, screamy atmosphere of election time. It provides a reflection on the higher connections to be made.
