Vogels in de lucht

Een paar jaar geleden zat ik op een balkon in Turkije. Ik hoopte op een mooie zonsopgang. Ik bleef nadenken over of, en hoeveel God van me houdt, maar dacht ook na over mijn liefde voor Hem. Hij moet mij niet aanbidden, ik aanbid Hem. In mijn aanbidding kan ik Hem danken voor Zijn liefde... Continue Reading →

The Invisible Wall: A Bumblebee’s Tale

The bumblebee thrashed helplessly against the transparent barrier, each failed attempt to break through leaving him more exhausted and disoriented. The force of the invisible wall struck him like an unseen force, pushing him back every time he tried to move forward. To his small, yet keen mind, it was an enigmatic puzzle—something unfathomable, unnatural,... Continue Reading →

Absence

Walking through the streets of a small suburb after 23.00h had me notice something.I could hear the wind in the trees.It had been years since I last consciously heard that. This is my mother’s town.This is my brother’s town. The peace and silence at night here is as big as the sky.The wind is so... Continue Reading →

Of Atoms and Shakespeare

Wouldn't we all want to meet God? Face to Face. Some atheists would love this encounter I believe. Logically, we cannot however, plan a trip to go and meet God. The difference is too big. Not just the different type of being we are, but mostly the difference in holiness. He is holy, we are... Continue Reading →

Sense

Inspired by writer Toon Tellegen, I started thinking about what we hear. In his story, the ant and the squirrel build a gigantic ear and point it in different directions to hear what is happening on the other side of the forest, the other side of the ocean and even on the sun. While reading... Continue Reading →

Sparrows

The mission was clearThe outcome became obviousThe hopes were metThe circumstances favourable He put on his little helmetBut then took it off again If he was to be the favouriteHe should only have trust to gainBrave like an eagleFirm like a kingGentle like a ladyDancing in the spring One step, two step, jumpAnd then nothing...

Arrogance or insecurity?

As I start writing this, I want you to know that I am angry. Upset, frustrated, annoyed, on the burst of crying. I cry for injustice, I cry for tenderness, I cry because of pain and today I cry out of anger and unpower. (I checked it, it seems to be a word) And yes,... Continue Reading →
