Sadness & Crying

April 29, 2026 by Rijn

And then I had dreams and woke up sad. I walked around a bit, tears, crying. And why? Because something very old came slowly to the surface. At that moment in the morning, I did not know exactly what it was.

Breakfast

April 28, 2026April 27, 2026 by Rijn

I was invited to breakfast with Donald and his girlfriend, Mariella. I had never met her, so I was curious to see who she was and feel her energy. But first, we headed up a small mountain in the early morning—then a shower, then lunch.

Relaxing

Not to be too serious for a moment: it’s actually quite nice here. Waking up slowly, rolling out of bed, and realizing you don’t need to turn on the heating because it’s already 25°C. That’s a pretty good feeling.

Yes, I admit, I carry a secret within me. I hesitate to speak about it because it will almost certainly be misunderstood; nonetheless, I think I will have to bear the ache of not being understood.

If You Want Peace, Prepare for… Peace?

I originally wanted to write about nature—about the quiet, ancient beauty of caves. But then I saw a line in the news that stopped me cold: “If you want peace, you must prepare for war.“(Old Roman saying)

Ouch, Painfull!!

Arrival

When I arrived at the airport in Curaçao on April 8th, Donald came to pick me up. He brought me to his house where I could stay for the month that I am here. I am thankful for that.

But once we arrived at his house he said: “So, here is soap and shampoo, there is the shower and give me your shirts, you stink.”

PicRights & The Sound of Silence

On my website, VrolijkWeerZien, I host a variety of content paired with many pictures to help explain how the eye works. When I started, I simply used images I found on the web.

Collective Knowledge

Look at a flock of birds.
They all turn in one direction at once. There is no leader who blows a whistle, causing the other birds to think: “OMG, we have to turn.”

A Beach Hike

I just thought: let’s go to a random place. I picked Soto, a small village in Curaçao.
I caught the bus and got out. Hot… pffft.

What to Write?

What to write is not so difficult. But how authentic, or how much will I withhold? I read the boek from Tamara Valkenier.
