After reading the letter it took several days to write an answer. There was an email and I had to send a digital answer. In short, it boiled down to my suggestion that instead of the proposed 10 days, I propose a 30-day period. I could provide shelter for the entire period without asking anything for it. I received a quick reply that Hira would like to come, but that the lockdown and flight stop did not allow that now and we agreed that we would travel to the Netherlands as soon as possible. And immediately something was not right for me. It was difficult to tell some stories about Sensei and visit some places. I also did not have the money to travel a lot. Time ... I am a Shiatsu therapist by profession and since the lockdown and the measures I have no work and the question is whether that will still return sufficiently. Rethinking the livelihood has become a daily activity, even a routine. Look, if I was honest with myself. …. (Look at what [you] is writing…. If…. How if…. Be honest with yourself!) well, I know…. I know deep down. It's his father. And talking alone is not going to "give" anything to him. A special trip? Yes…. but otherwise… .. And if I approached this young man in the same way that his father, Sensei, did me, well… then there is only one thing. And I can't even ask him. As if he has any idea what it is he is answering. Still, I have to explain it to him in a certain way. I was already very enthusiastic and started working. A 30-day program…. Starting point, I will let him experience everything I have learned from Sensei…. Wait…. Something is going wrong there .... Something is not right ... I am missing something ... but what? I look to my left at the bookcase. Middle top shelf. There it is. The Bible. What am I going to say about that? Can hardly say that he should read it…. ok…. let it rest for a while.
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]Hira was Here .... [THIS IS FICTION / THIS IS FICTION] Who is Hira? Where's here? Who writes where is here? Why would [I] read this? Good questions .... Why are you reading this? How can you read this? Hira is a 19 year old boy. He is studying, but it didn't go very smoothly. To make a long story short. His mother wrote me a letter with 'his' / their story. He had attempted suicide, prompting Yoko, Hira's mother, to tell him about his father and write me a letter at the same time. Hira never knew his father, and perhaps more amazingly, the father never knew he had a son. That's where I get into the story. I didn't know all of this either, but Yoko managed to find out through haste that I knew Hira's father very closely in the last 'phase' of his life. After the letter and my answer it took several months before Hira could travel with the first flight from Japan to the Netherlands. He was here for about a month and just left again. No idea if I will ever see him again, but the past 30 days have been a special journey for both him and myself in a special world / context. During his visit, Hira showed me a few things about what is possible in the digital field today and asked me when he left if I could please 'digitize' as much as possible of what we discussed and share it with him. Although I did not really want to hurry, I recently read a message from a girl who had 'successfully' taken her life from herself. was silent .... ... full already .... lost your way .... and I can imagine it so well at this time ... what is normal? what is absurd? are the two confused? confusing... are you looking for something to hold on to? I suspect that the conversations Hira and I had and the "handbook" I "described" for him helped him in this. [Manual] starts with a guideline: Respect life. When ever contemplating or feeling like ending own life, remeber the following. As long as you live, there will be a time [you are through [this phase]] and a moment of joy of your own existence. Do not kill another human being with intent nor an animal without eating nor a plant without using... be aware of life greetings mva_r[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_posts_grid post_layout="standard" ajax_post="" ajax_paged="" loop="size:12|order_by:date|post_type:post|categories:398"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
[vc_row text_color="#000000"][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text css=""]It is 2012. I was already used to not 'following something', but to find my own way through all the treasures. It promised to be a special year. I once saw a BBC documentary with a man having a drink in the jungle and that seemed to be pulled inside out. He throws up, and looks like a different person afterwards. I'm going to do that one day. A thought I still remember. Several years later, someone mentions it, as typically something I would do. Every year I immersed myself in the higher, in an alternative way, the indigenous, the mystical, the therapeutical  …… An energetic therapist who had meant a lot to us, by helping the children with sleeping problems, among other things, did not dare to do it herself, but had the idea that I 'ran', an emotion so deep, so it required something very potent. An old grief, where a therapist in the western sense of the word really does not 'get around' with a number of therapy sessions. It was her, 'gut feeling'. And it suits you. I search the net. The Sacred Journey. Since then I made 9 journeys. I decided to cook for myself. And later those around me. A tough learning journey, with the lessons from the first few trips I made as a very vague form of guideline…. and the practical tips of a number of people…. The first journey The birth, the caesarean section, the 11 day of the first contact with my mother and the chill of the first 10 days. The deep feeling of not being able to fall back on someone. The music, the energy, the very clear seeing that is more feeling with images….? …. The beauty, the connections, the light….. the energy, the movement,…. the all that potential….. what a power Hearing someone ask the question, 'Is there more between heaven and earth'…… then I think….. WHAT…. the indescribable quantity of what is, in heaven, on earth, in the here and now…. It seems like such an odd question. Is there more. …   Since then I stopped brewing. The 'authorities' have become more aggressive towards any form of healing plant use for healing purposes and in search of the higher self and meaning in life. People that wanted to make journeys were often searching for a thrilling experience and if possible in comfort without pain etc. A typical western phobia.
