Saved a child from drowning.

 

Amazing waves hit Cumbuco. Big and with a lot of power. During low tie the waves break a bit outside but when it became high tie it was almost beach break, 3 meters that dragged everything back in the sea.

Just recovering from a 3 day fever I went out in the morning for a swim to release the back muscles that hurt and where blocked by the necessarily stay in bed. (And also to challenge the huge waves). Within minutes I was exhausted and swam back to shore to take a breath. I felt dizzy for a while but worked my way through the day. And about 1500 hours the tie was reaching it's maximum hight. Further then I had seen for years. 3 children where looking at the waves standing close to shore while I looked with Clement (a Surinam friend of Jeroen).  I told them the kids where on risk and that last year 2 children died  in similar (but less) conditions.

Moments later a huge wave broke and water streamed on the beach catching one of the girls. The force being to much to resist it dragged her into the fierce massive whirlpool the shore break was. We looked for a few second and saw she was helpless. Her friends starting running and screaming for help.

Without thinking we run to the shore, I reached there first, I took off my shirt and telephone and dived towards her. Straight away I felt the immense power taking hold of me. I dove under two small waves before I reached her almost out off breath already. She looked at me with intense fear and I told her to be calm ("calma'), for sure I could not hide the fear in my eyes. Holding her up with one hand to give her struggle a rest and time to breath I saw a huge wave coming. I was tired already at this stage and her weight was holding me down. She saw me take a big breath and did the same. We dove and the wave collapsed right on us. My only reaction was to give her a big push towards shore just before I got mangled. It lasted shorter then I thought it would and when I came up I saw Clement 3 meters towards shore from me. He looked at me and I saw the girl come up 1,5 meters  next to him. She starting swimming towards me but I pointed her to Clement. Then the next wave broke taking all my breath and strength. I decided to 'run' for shore. During my struggle towards shore I saw them getting closer as well. Later Clement said he was also unable to hold her but she grapped his feet…….

For sure she would not have come out without us.

When I look back I would have done a few things different….. but instinct and 'proper reaction' are two different things.

Killed a rat with a KNIFE. Saw it, took the knife, followed the rat. In one hit opened his belly (scream), it ran away with his intestines out. Followed it again until the proper kill….adrenaline. Ask forgiveness from the Buddha, this creature doesn't belong in a hotel.

Drive

A simple drive to complexity. Freedom is that illusion.

Floating

Believe in this,

sense,

floathing between lives,

questioning reality,

was this me,

is that mine,

changes make the mind,

stability is a illusion,

 

I see you,

I hear you,

I can't feel you.

 

Believe in this,

sense,

there is none.

We are just floating......

Tickling fish.

Last saterday I was kiting (finally wind again) when suddenly I feel some things tickling my leg. I look but see nothing. Mmmmmh strange…… moments later I return and at about the same place it happens again. I look behind me and see loads of small fish jumping up. Wow that's cool.  Looking better I see huge dark spots under the water….there must be thousands!

 

Dolfins.

Last Sunday I was sitting with Oliver in our restaurant when he suddenly says 'Hey, are that dolphins?' I looked and saw indeed something that could be a dolphin…far away. We walk to the sundeck to get a better view of what he saw while saying to everybody we meet on our way to come and have a look with us.

First there was nothing but soon enough they came up again right in front of us. We also see the huge schools of small fish (I think the reason why the dolphins are there).

I ask Oliver if he want's tp paddle out there with me and he agrees. Let's go. We padlle a good 200m and I'm about 10m in front of him. I turn around to ask direction from the guests on shore. The point straight forward and while paddle again I see them about 30 meters from me….wow…..We keep paddling until we reach them to 10m. The dive under and we put our feet out of the water (healthy fear….).

We don't see them anymore. After a minute or two Oliver goes….wow they are right behind us. Again about 10 meters separate us. We paddle towards them. Moments later they come in our direction and there is only 5 meters between us. There are 5 dolfins and they are playing with each other. They go under and come up left from us (they are checking us out). Then they are right and then on the back again…….they are leaving….I'm stoked. How cool is this…I wish I know how to let them come even closer……

When suffering comes due desire, and the way to happiness is not to desire. Should we loose the desire towards happiness?

When suffering comes from desire, we can not desire happiness.

Not to desire happiness doesn't mean you can never be happy…..

 -.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

 

That the center of honesty is a lie.

 

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

 

Simpel, maar met gevoel.

Komt het begin, het einde.

Niet wetend welke klanken er gaan komen.

Puur zuiver, emotioneel.

Diep van binnen, kruipend naar boven.

Waar het de top raakt en wegsluipt.

Waar het zich nestelt en nooit meer weggaat.

 

Leef het komt,

Verliefd, gedood, de zon, gedoofd

Waar het draait, waar het loopt.

 

Een implosie.

De expansie van een klein detail.

Zwevend door het heden, en verleden, de nieuwe geboorte.

Geconcentreerde energie, opbouwend naar het bijna niets.

Wijder zien, breder gedragen naar de ruimte  hier.

Kom maar het veilig, hier is geen toon van angst.

Hier is het rustig hier klinkt zuiverheid.

Een trilling, in de ziel zonder gedachten.

 

Leef het komt.

Verliefd, gedood, de zon, gedoofd,, mijn hoofd ontbloot.

Waar het draait, waar het loopt.

 

Simpel, maar met gevoel.

Loopt hij naar zijn einde, zijn begin.

 

 

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--..--.

I feel.

 

----.--.-.-.-.-.

 

In hunted live,

Why would we be selfish.

What is live worth not to share,

What is live worth not to die.

 

-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

 

If love must be sweeter than reality,

Then accept the brutality of reality.

 

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-

Retread,

This is more than you imagine.

The different tales it will tell,

Since you are so far away from me now.

I didn't know I could feel this way,

Destructive emotions.

The soul pushed by the brain,

A brain without morality

I would loose it all if there wasn't this pure voice,

Which brings me closer to you.

But…..does it?

 

The hurt looks endless, but I know……there is none.

Not knowing that with you being so far, you feel closer then ever.

I hear your voice, I see you face.

Clear, in understanding.

It's my choice.

Traveling around in circles, not knowing where to go.

That it pushes me to here,

Not enjoying the uncontrollable slider.

 

I know I lost you,

I thought that I saw you move away.

But it is only my voice that speaks.

Your so far away.

Just an inner creation,

The dark fantasy.

 

It's only soul now,

No more then it was before.

When I listen,

Here it ends.
