Back to Central America.
You always start to miss something so basic when you don’t have it anymore. You never have problems with it because it’s always there, always working. I’m talking about energy! And then I mean solar energy to do the things which are so basic, such as cooking, washing clothes, charging phone and laptop, that kind […]

Is it nature’s way to say wake the f*ck up?
She’s raging Spitting fire of rage Blazing flames, speeding of anger leaving only but blackness and death Rushing storms, thunder as bombs with floods and destruction in the streets Men and women dragged by the wild waters Animals eaten by the burning flames Heavens opened pouring out anger on us, racing around like mad men […]

Ik bepaal wat er met mijn lichaam gebeurt {Dutch}.
Het lijkt wel of ik naar een slechte B-film zit te kijken. Het voelt in ieder geval als een noodzaak hierover te schrijven. Zo langzamerhand is de tweedeling in de samenleving naar aanleiding van het vaccinatie-debat op z’n minst zorgwekkend te noemen. In Nederland en in de omringende Europese landen. Ik verzet me tegen het […]

The climate skeptic: he lives on another planet, speaks his own language, and hates change.
We speak a different language. That’s what’s going on right now. Some people think it’s hysteria and scaremongering, others sound the alarm. Bottom line: the next ten years will determine how our world will look like in the much longer term. The IPCC – The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – Report, which was presented […]

You Love Animals: How to Respond to an Invitation to a Summer BBQ?
Summer is here, time for BBQ parties! The more, the better, no?! Julia, a woman who I had just met, wanted to thank me. I found her dog that escaped the day after she had adopted her. This lost dog was roaming on the streets, looking at me with a please-don’t leave me look in her-eyes, […]

A Week when Everything Sucks and I Want to be a Cat!
An effortless, hot, carefree summer? Yes, please! Who doesn’t want that? One minute after my cold shower, my face is glistering again. Sweat is pouring down my back. With temperatures of 30 degrees and even crossing the magical 30, I guess I reached my limit. These temperatures seem only good and give you the summer […]

De Kunst van het Achterover Hangen {Dutch}.
“Vanmorgen werd ik kwaad wakker. Nee, nee, de wereld bevalt me niks. De meeste mensen zijn dood zonder het te weten, of ze leven wel en bedotten de boel. En de liefde eist in plaats van te geven. En degene die van je houdt, wil dat je iets bent wat hij nodig heeft. Van liegen […]

New Beginnings, Family Expansion, and Some Mental Gymnastics to Close the Week.
There is so much to write about lately and yet it has been a bit silent on my blog. So many blogposts and articles have been written in my head, not on paper or screen. Do you know that feeling that you want to do all these things you want to do, and then you […]

Be A Change Maker.
With disgust we speak about a people. With contempt we speak about a country, whereas we need to aim the arrows at their leaders. We worry about our next holiday, while half the world is on fire. We talk about left or right as it is it the one and only truth. I yell at […]

De Vernietigende en Helende Kracht van Woorden {Dutch}.
Ik sta hier voor het Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam. Het is 29 December 2020. De stad was nog volledig op slot. Winkels dicht, cafés en restaurants gesloten. Een ongekende sfeer waaide rond door deze geliefde stad. Samen met mijn zus en nichtje struinde ik door de rustige straten. Het voelde niet leeg, eerder ingetogen, […]
