yes i miss you too.

a poem for you:

eternal

the grand show is eternal. it is always sunrise somewhere;

the dew is never dried all at once;

a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising.

eternal sunshine, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and

island, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

Positive thinking

When I left Holland more than a year ago I thought the world was lost.
Lost because I saw so many unhappy people.
Lost because I saw people treating each other in such an ugly way.

Now a year later I do believe that there is hope.
I meet so many people who do things different.
Who live there lives and are capable of truly loving each other.

I do not believe that the world will change over night.
And I do not believe that it will happen in a specific year.
But I do believe that the world is changing more drastically and rapidly than it changes normally.

You are a positive person.
You believe in love as a cure for a bleeding world.
And you believe that your positive actions have impact on how the world turns.

And your right.

We all have a part in how things go.
We should all treat each other with the same respect we have for our selves.
And then the world would change to a much nicer place.

I love you.


P.s: You say I'm a positive person... and I have to say that I just truly believe that positive thinking and love is the solution to everything. I know that the way I think for some people is delusional or dreamy. But I don't care because it works for me :)

change

everyday is a new day. every second the world changes. and we are definitely a part of it.

i dont know much about 2012 nor the mayas so i dont really have an opinion. but to be honest, i dont think the world will change in one specific date or even in one specific year.

i want to make a good change in my world and hopefully that can mean a good change in other people's world... but in wont happen overnight - far from it.

i dont believe a revolution can occur without oppression and some form of violence. i prefer to take a different road.
i work on a slow (r)evolution of our my own consciousness.

i do believe i can change the world. but with the smallest actions. being kind to each other. acknowledging each other. not judging each other. knowing everyone is a person like me and giving them the exact respect i have for myself.

it may sound very normal and easy but its not. and you can see it just by looking around you. the way some people treat each other makes me so sad..

maybe the world wont change because i say hello to the men that sells newspapers outside of HEMA. but i am sure i made the day of that man a better day and hopefully he will make somebody else's day a better one as well.

i am not so interested in changing the economy or politics.. i believe that if we realize that every single person in this world is as important as we are, and therefore if we would treat each accordingly, things would change in a deeper way.

of course its all a big utopia and i am aware of that. but i will still do what i believe to me my part...

:) its difficult to explain. we once started talking about it through skype but i couldnt explain myself. maybe now i was more sucessfull..


what do you think?


(after a week of writing this text, i am reading it again and i am not sure.... i guess i am not a positive thinker as you are. i dont think the world will change just like that.. but you know what... maybe it will! and it is great to dream about it and try our best for it to happen!! )

The new world

Hey Jo?

What do you think about 2012?

I personaly feel that we are all playing a wrole into a huge change in the world. We are all part of a change of energies.
A new world. Just like the mayas said: Tomorrow the world will change into a world totally different from the world we know today.
A new world.

Hey Jo?

What do you think?
Will we be part of the new world?

I hope so...
I know so...
Because we already are.

We all are.

liberdade

:) hello dear friend

i am not sure if we are should to make such definite sentences.. we have to be careful when we think we know what's best for everybody. but yes, i do agree that many problems would vanish if people only realized they have the power of action, of change.. i wish everybody could be free. FREE. people should come up with their own rules, with their own morals, with their own goals, desires... it seems to me many of us follow without ever questioning why..

so on that note i wanted to share a beautiful song and amazing lyrics.. (maybe i have shown you this before, anyway if you click on the title you should get to the youtube video)


Maybe not

There's a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
Dream that I see, don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man, you get what you can

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

Listen to me, don't walk that street
There's always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We're just living people

We won't have a thing
So we got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

You've got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won't have a thing
So we've got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

But with your mind

Normal Thursday morning

Hello my dear friend!
Yes! yes! it´s here! And I want to start writing immediatly!

Last Thursday was a very nice one for me here in Brasil.
I woke up at 8.30 and went to my Capoeira class with a friend.
Walking to the Cultural Centre was an experiance on it´s own. The Centre is situated in a less touristic part of Itacare and that emediatlly means it´s a poorer part of the town.
I love walking in that neigbourhood because it is so different and beautiful in its own way.
At 9 in the morning the Brasilian music is already pooring out of all the open windows and doors.
People are just hanging around, talking, in front of their house or that of their neigbours.
Children are playing in the middle of the street and al the freshly washed loundry is lying down on everything imaginable. I even saw loundry spread out on the street one day!

The Capoeira class was long and hard but very very nice. I like the way my body works it´s way trough the movements. And I like to feel my muscles work.

After the class my friend, Soledad, and I decided to go take a plunsh to cool down a bit...

So here we were: two friends talking about life in this cristal clear turqoise brasilian seawater on a coconut beach on a normal Thursday morning. We came up with the fallowing sentance that morning:

When humankind realises that the key to their happyness lays in their own hand, everybody would be where they want to be.

Life is beautiful, but you already knew that...

Hello!

:) so here it is..
