About Children



And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

PS: The photo is digitally manipulated by me,
if you look closely, you can see my family hidden in the roses.

Dahlia's



There's a big garden near the little church a few streets away from my house.
The old men that grow their flowers there are members of a Dahlia growers club, so the Dahlias (like the name of a fifties pop band)they grow are stunning.
That and the fact that they're my absolute favorite flower make me a thankful customer of the garden, and whenever it's open I'm very happy to buy flowers there.
So here's a photo of these beauties ...
God, I'm a real flower lover ... nature's so important for me ....
It's a f*cking shame that I'm living in the city right now.
But hey ... I'm not complaining, it's just that I think it's about time for me to live in a somewhat healthier environment.
And I will ... after Vincent finishes his school(s)here.
OK ... time to wrap this post up, have a nice evening/day, whatever suits your time frame.

Me again


Hmmm ... this is a little more recent picture of me, although I look terrible the last years ... overweighted & sadness carved in the lines of my face.

The Dutch blog


Indeed, I did start a Dutch blog back then, and it's a pity it's in Dutch because it tells a lot of interesting (though sad) things about me and the relationship I'm in (and out) for the last 23 years.
Although I've always been thinking about 'us', I now understand that 'I' is equally important ... or even more important ... We get born alone, We die alone..
Know what I mean ?
Anywayz, there have been a couple of very sad years for me, with anti-depressants and a lot of other sh*t I rather not talk about.
Not here .... well, not now.

The new blog , now old again




Ok , my renewed attempt to keep a steady flow of words, sites and/or grafix going on in this blog .... umm ... actually I think I'm going to do something completely different !
I've been thinking about a new weblog ... a DUTCH one ...it IS my native language after all.
Although ..... I must say ...to be honest ... it isn't certain at all that a Dutch blog will be up-dated more then this one ... but I will be more eloquent (if this is the word I'm meaning to use that is , which proves my point quite well actually)
Right... a little 'fun' translator then to put the obvious link in here, plus it will make you ... Write Like an Egyptian .... at least your name.. :-)



I'll post a link here as soon as my new blog is ready ...
Well ... see you in my Dutch blog .... or not :-(

Dutch Poetry (mine)

In technicolor vermoed ik

Wolken van doorschijnende kant , en kleine delicate, scherp uitgesneden figuurtjes...misschien van zijdehout.

Tedere vissen ook ... karpers.
Japanse concubines spelen onder de Parasolboom ------ Hiyaaa !
Of in elkaar verstrengelde vogeltjes ... en citroenen !
pure gele blijdschap met iets dat danst als een derwisj ja.

Lenteregen die smaakt naar roze fruit , mmm

Nou , en dan zwemmen tussen de drijvende bloemen totdat :
Stille wateren hebben diepe gronden kleine jongen,
en opduikend uit het donker is het schervendier daar ... maar ...
Ssshh ... sjoe sjoe kindje het gevaar is al geweken
je moedertje is hier met haar zachte handen en zachte ogen.

En hier is ook de bittere maan

Dan laat me je nu dit verhaal maar vertellen,
met alle bijpassende geuren en tranen,
Het is het verhaal van wat leeft , en alsmaar rondgaat
Van wat baart en denkt en sterft en toch liefheeft tot op het bot.
Zodat je van al wat waard is de Naam zal kennen.
