...stop on the red and go on the green...

My thoughts turn to something i read once, something the Zen Buddhists believe. They say that an oak tree is brought into creation by two forces at the same time. Obviously, there is the acorn from which it all begins, the seed which holds all the promise and potential, which grows into the tree. Everybody can see that. But only a few can recognize that there is another force operating here as well - the future tree itself, which wants so badly to exist that it pulls the acorn into being, drawing the seedling forth with longing out of the void, guiding the evolution from nothingness to maturity. In this respect, say the Zens, it is the oak tree that creates the very acorn from which it is born.

There's a girl...
i kinda like

I was on the tram
sitting down

watching her.
It was late
late at night

She was standing up
and she was

looking at herself
Not flexing.

Not fixing her hair.

Just gazing at herself
her own reflection.

A long, long stare.
Then i got off
at my destination...

i walked into a bar,
bought a drink,

met my friends,
listened to music

And then i turned around
and i saw her
I saw her there.

She was standing up.
Not flexing
not fixing her hair.

Just gazing at me,
as though i was her own reflection

A long, long stare.

"..Ik verzamel geen geld, ik verzamel mooie momenten.."

"..I don't collect money, I collect beautiful moments.."

Herman Brood, interview with Henk Binnendijk. Fifty-Fifty (EO) 1994



“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”
