ABOUT ME

My dream is to have a mongolian tent or a tipi, a horse and some other animals, an idyllic garden with fruit trees everywhere and lots of birds and relaxed people around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

I love this poem by Charlie Chaplin which I adapt to as my personal philosophy:

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time
was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this
person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens
at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm.
Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do
and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in
my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for
my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew
me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude
a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since
I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry
about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING
is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my
mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this
connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing
new worlds are born.Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

Interests

I mostly enjoy playing guitar, singing, dancing to trance music, painting and drawing with all kinds of techniques and colours, I love being outside in nature and also collect wild herbs and learn more about them. I also love travelling, cooking tasty and healthy food.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: Matrix, Neverending Story, Spirited Away, all different sorts of fantasy movies sometimes nature documentaries and I love Doctor Who :)

Music: many different kinds, at the moment I love listen to traditional African drums, psytrance, jazz, blues, some Indian mantras, chinese mantras, and all sorts of good vibes music.

books: I mostly enjoy fantasy, spirituality, plant guides, I like reading uplifting stuff like
alan watts, meister eckhart, eckhart tolle, krishnamurti.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing thing for me is to connect with nature and my creative to create music and art that I enjoy myself so that it's never boring :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some knowledge about Qi Gong, health food, edible wild plants ~ there is some beautiful nature nearby where I love to hang around :), if you play any instruments I would love to play music together, I have different kinds of traditional drums, a keyboard and a guitar.

I am always keen to learn something about natural and traditional healing (I'm not against western medicine but I think it's important to keep and share the traditional knowledge about staying healthy and prevent disease in the first place)
