“Life is so stressful, so busy, so complicated, give me some peace!” I hear it all the time and before we moved to France I was repeating it myself. I needed to step away from all of that business and desire to get a clear view. To find my own voice again. Being caught in the treadmill…
spring
It has been quiet here. While life has been nothing but quiet: We have renovated our house in Amsterdam, we got chicken and rabbits and a lot more living space. We have all kind of work projects tumbling over each other. The happy chaos of the children. The problems of daily life. Saying goodbye to our dog. Finding…
princesses
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” Rainer Maria Rilke
stand still
Stand still. The trees ahead and the bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you, If you leave it you…
I am doing it!
Yes I am doing it! I cannot believe it! It took me years to come to this point. I went all around the world, the physical and the spiritual one, up and down in myself, through impossibly happy and impossibly sad times, through panic and fear and solitude to collect the experience, vision, understanding and…

Remember how you felt after that holiday, hike, great conversation, amazing sex, sublime concert. Remember how it feels when your soul is happy…

I watch it about once a month, just to remind myself that a successful life is all about : the encounter with oneself. Watch it here.

on motherhood and guilt
Gala was Dalì’s muze for life and also the muse of other artist like Louis Aragon and André Breton. When I read about her I learn what an inspiring and free spirit she was and how much she influenced their work. I also learn that she had a daughter before she married Salvador Dalì and how much she…
