I planned to write a post about a work achievements this week, feeling watched by a society that asks : what have you got to show for yourself? So I sat down but came to the conclusion, it’s interesting for me, but how would my self promotion serve anybody else? So instead I’ll show you…
nettles
Live simply so others can simply live. – Mahatma Gandhi He got it right! And living simple can be oh so … simple! One of my favorite foods this time of year are nettles! I make tea, quiches, juices, this wonderful pesto (we did it without the parmesan and walnuts) and prescribe it in different ways…
taking from the Earth Mother
My anger about he fast pace in which we are tearing our natural world apart is transforming into concern and a more urgent notion that we have to change our lives more radical and faster. In only two months we’ll move to a farm in the south of Holland that will give us more possibilities…
summer solstice
It’s midsummer today. The longest day of the year. For me these solstices are special days on which our earthly sky seems to open up to the universe fully. I collected floors with the children to celebrate the new life that the sun gives. I will stay up late and make flower crowns and see the…
integration…
Is not always what we think it is… I love everything about this photoset. The humbleness of just being human together and forgetting the cultural, the sexual, the you vs me, the simple fun.

a full cup
According to Eastern wisdom we get a present from our parents. A cup full of life energy. This is what we get to spend during our life time. When our cup is empty the fire in us dies and so do we. Today I received a beautiful Shiatsu massage from a dear friend. She told me the…

Notre Dame du Coral is the patroness of our ancient catalan village. When rain is predicted and it is not favorable the old inhabitants know what to do. An image of Notre Dame du Coral is put in the heart of a nest of freshly picked parsley to call in the sun. The hermitage is at about…
simple – getting practical
“When we crave simplicity, we are not after an easier life. We are after life.” – Dave Bruno Now my book is done I’ll write some practical posts on what this blog is all about in the first place : simple living and the beautiful answers it brings to modern life issues. Often people think to change…
returning home
To me this painting by Edward Hopper is home. During the silent years of my burnout, this was the postcard that hung next to my dinner table and made me long for something that felt like ‘home’. I did not know what home was, only that I was afraid and lost. Somewhere I lost my home, my soul-home,…
herbs in bloom
The pyrenees are in bloom. The wild rosemary, thyme, sage and valerian all have beautiful flowers. We’re picking a lot of different plants and herbs to dry. So it’s nettle soup for dinner and vervain tea for breakfast. And in front of our house the sun is doing the drying for us. Laurel, eucalyptus, roses, nettles,…
blessings
I’m not the only one who felt the overwhelming energy of yesterday’s full moon. So powerful I felt I was going to explode with impressions, information, emotions and thoughts. Then today, the day of sweet release, being so precious and special and beautiful I remember why everything in nature builds up and releases. 11 is…
