A camel carried me to palm’s green
where I drank from springs pure and sweet
The wind blew softly and divine
comforted me gentle caress
The sun stood high and shone
a new-born light of refreshment and peace
——-
In the shards there always shines
the miraculous light that asks for no favor
The light that has never gone away
and will remain for all time
Hearts rivers stream
the sea will never sink or dry
Angels and strangers smile
The mystery land is alive

Back in 1974 I was a child
dreaming on the the schoolyard
suddenly 3 men pulled the hood over my head
and beat me up until I was unconscious
The students who were still in class
could not hear the screams, but she did,
an ran out to save me
It is 50 years ago now,
I haven’t forgotten a single moment
everything lives on like a river of emotions
in heart and soul
I see the old gate comfortably
resting in the hinges
Shool windows sparkling
with pure happiness,
spacious, faithful
wooden benches and chairs
Blackboards,
painted with blissful white
and colored chalk,
sponged clean
when no one talks
Teachers and teenagers
lounging for sweet home,
who become happy
at the ringing of the bell
—
I feel the warmth of the sun,
the refreshing wind,
the shade of the beautiful trees
that soft as velvet
caressed the square,
the silent wall, and me,
under a heavenly blue sky.
—
She heard my screams
outside in the yard
ran out the classroom
several students came after her,
but at a distance
just before the bell rang
She chased away the attackers,
and carried me from the square
to the school sink
to wipe the blood splatter from my face
and refreshe me…
she asked what had happened
I could barely speak,
with a swollen mouth,
impressed by her
angelic voice and eyes,
—
She wanted to escort me home,
but I said: thank you, don’t worry, I’m fine,
I was attacked, I don’t know why either”
then the bell rang, and before I knew it,
I was walking out of school, crying in pain.
Out on the street,
I coincidentally ran
into my sweet cousin Linda,
who, after seeing that I was injured,
escorted me safely to my parents’ house.
—
One week later
I was questioned
by the school principal,
who looked at me accusingly
I could barely get a word out
with a swollen throat…
And on top of that …
no one had provided medical help,
even though I was injured,
broken ribs, and a swollen throat.
Exactly After 33 years, I went to the old schoolyard
and saw, against the wall of the sports hall,
colored drawings of children holding hands
with a child painted in white.
The yard was peaceful,
the sun smiled to the sky and me,
shadows fell from a few beautiful oak tree.
I stayed there for a while to meditate for peace.
———
The centre child on the wall
looked different than
the rainbow children holding hands
It was magic
an angel flying
through stone
I wonder if the shool
remembered the event
I was completely denied
on that school,
where I was terribly
attacked and almost died

Brutally beaten
3 may 1974
Returned from my haven
3 may 2009
Exactly 33 years later …
I visited the playground square
A man walked by, out of nowwhere
I recogized him a danger immediately
He was the first one who had attacked me from behind
He looked at me with blind eyes
and walked away without regrets
I stood there feeling
like flying in the skies
When I opened my eyes
I saw the beautifull trees
and blossems divine
The children playing ball
were all gone
They had painted the wall
with colours of love
The old gate was still there,
silent in peace
In the distance
I heard a baby cry
I lifted my arms
in the centre
of the square
and looked
at the wonderful
blue sky
I passed the gate
and said:
“Only heaven
knows why”

The noise of a gate angered a drunk man
who ordered three men to beat me blind
Wide awake dreaming
they beated me down
in a waterfall
of blossems divine
Yet 33 years later
I returned to the square
where trees still stood,
beautiful divine
Children painted hand in hand,
colours on the wall, I never will forget
the figure
in peaceful white
in the center,
testifying to the angel
who saved me just in time

Poem
Out of fear
no longer seeing and hearing,
fleeing from the angry world
journeying through the darkness
with faith, hope, and love,
the adventure, a quest to unfold,
a story of courage, forever retold,
with a beating heart,
full of light, joy, and gratitude,
following the path,
winding and true
comforted by angels,
who encourage to bravely continue,
in whichever direction,
you may be, you may go,
through wonderful colors and lights,
where dreams intertwine,
interwoven with the heavens,
each step shapes a life,
a new beginning,
like the morning sun,
with heart and soul,
the seed you have sown,
the flowers from Your heart
that bloom
through the miracle
of love
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Every person grows
Unique, part of
the Mystery
of Creation
The light Lives
The sun shines
Moon laughs
Earth turns
The wind sings
Hearts beat
sharing the rhythm
of the wonder
that never sleeps
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sun, moon, angels and stars
Wind, clouds, and trees
love to whisper your name
—
The tree grows richer by a ring
The bubbling river grows and sings
where you are
where you go
where you stand
what you see
what you do
what you leave
where you give
where you live
where you share
You are Home
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A dear little bird
ended up in the flower nest
of a rooster and a hen
Life there was beautiful and good
but suddenly the hen pecked hard
on his crown and hair
The other began to flap
like a conductor of a wild orchestra
Whereupon he took off in search
of the parental nest,
Unfortunately that nest
turned out abandoned
Then he ended up ina hawk’s nest
with two peep chicks
Life was beautiful and good
until a hawk began pecking at him
And when the chicks began to peep
he ran from the flapping like a lapwing
singing and dancing with the angels,
carrying him on the long way home
———
The birds
The leg that had lamed a poor little bird
died of misery addicted to pills in the cage of white coats
The golden hen and rooster have passed away
after their nest disappeared in a blue rain
Their chicks had flown far away over the sea
deaf as a quail, to be trapped in a golden cage
The hawks have risen into the clouds
and their chicks, now grown, sit in a cage with hay
One cares for three chicks who scream for attention
and peck with their beak
The other cares for one with a yellow beak that keeps shouting
“Let me out, I am not to blame”
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The Bridge
While the world was sleeping,
I was admiring graceful ornaments
and sweetly lanterns,
on the bridge of hearts
Staring at the ice artwork,
I saw the figure of an angel,
smiling at me, warming my heart,
with her tender light
Heaven stars and moon,
were shining so wonderous bright
the choir of angels sang a sweet rhyme,
in the symphony of light:
wherever you may be,
wherever you may go,
whatever may happen,
we watch and guide,
now and for all times
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
By the water along the canal
in the middle of of night
I watched circles dancing
and sounds echo:
the quacking of a duck,
the songs of the wind
the crying of a child
By the water
in the deepest of the night
I have remained
for an endless time
comforted by angels and stars
that shine so beautifully
for the whole wide world
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The Last Knight
The last knight rode on a groaning horse
with aching bones, carrying a basket
of eight white horns
After more than half a century running with time,
he felt reborn like a child
The Queen of the North greeted him:
My bravest knight
There is no need to rush,
You have fought like a lion for Your land,
you are welcome to kiss my hand
Then the knight replied:
I bear witness to the true victory,
not over any enemy, but over strife
Victories are illusions,
gold has no meaning for me,
in the love of eternity.
Shadows are an illusion,
of not seeing the light
The sun shines not only through fire
life is is a gift of love and light
The middle of the roads keeps the same
wherever you may go or stay
The wheels of luck and prosperity
can turn left or right
but love has only one side
What is glory, luck and faith?
there is no unambiguous destination
as destiny is a miracle of creation
I lay down my arms,
there will be peace at last
With a warm, steady voice she answered:
“my bravest knight
they carry the story of the long road,
you rode on alone.
“Come and rest now.
Lay your head down in my lap.
You are home”
He rested his weary head in her lap,
thereafter,
Dionisia smiled through tears of joy
They raised their glasses,
Raise your glasses friends, let us toast:
To Loyalty
standing like a rock tha needs no promises or oath
To Honesty
shining like radiant stars in twinkling eyes
To Courage
hearts that know no fear or strife
To Compassion
the hands that lift others when they fall
To Forgiveness
turning wounds into gifts of peace
To Humility
kneeling in service, not in shame
To Friendship
multiplying joy through sunny days and stormy nights
To Gratitude
for life, the wonder from the spring of light
Cheers to Love – ever flowing, ever growing
the greatest gift of all
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Every human, arrived equally onn earth,
to play along in the symphony of life
As wind sings with angels birds and trees
hearts and angels dance to the rhythm of the hearts
A newborn baby in a cradle laughs and cries
Greets the world intimately, so lovingly delighted
Whatever language one may speak
Whichever direction one may take
Do not ask where
the path between the stars leads
Cherish all that lives
and blooms on earth
Honor heaven and the angels
who enlighten and guide
the wondrous river of life,
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I always express what I knew
and felt as a child
Nothing in the world
is more important
Than to carry on
with love and faith,
Wherever you may be
and wherever you may go
Do not lose courage
the angels watch and guide
With all their light and love
to this day, and for all time
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Omnes pars omnium rerum sunt et omnia per miracula ex infinito creationis fonte perpetuo mutantur.
Eeveryone is part of everything and everything is constantly changing through miracles from the endless source of creation.
Essentia poesis est vita, ars est amor infinitus…
The essence of poetry is live is art is endless love….
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
These are the times,
we come together to make the change,
we unite and rise up for liberation,
nothing can stop the flow of hearts,
we never give up, we stand strong,
breaking the chains united by love
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
We are crazy,
To look and embrace the mirror,
To learn, forgive, rise and shine
We are crazy,
to believe, the revolution,
is breathing every day and every night
We are crazy,
to open our mouth and eyes,
to kiss the flowers and the trees
and admire the sky,
We are crazy,
to love the flow of hearts,
that knows no lies
We are crazy,
to think we are rich,
without a mountain of gold
and a champagne ditch
We are crazy,
to write poems at 3 AM,
about love without a name
We are crazy,
to open doors and gates,
to make the change
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Greedy leaders fade,
we unite and embrace
Media die,
because we do not believe their lies
The revolution
grows by love,
rising hand-in-hand
To built a world
of love, peace, health,
the unbreakable foundation
for mankind
We build with love,
We let the flow grow,
The world changes,
yes, we change.
No force can beat,
The flow of United Hearts
Born from the sparkling spring,
The miracle of love and light
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
names are written
in heart soul and stone
love drops unite
with the wonderous throne
breath the air and winds
the colours of the skies
rains and rainbows will come and go
where ever You may be or go
the puzzles of the heart
may feel broken,
but by love they all are one
Feel the dream is real
by the wonder of the well
that never stops to flow
—
Reunion
learn the lessons of the past
follow your heart along the path of light
that yields to no obstacle day and night
embrace again
warm each other in a bed of flowers
at the gate where angels keep watch
in the light that for all ages
will continue to shine
—
Remember the covenant of stones,
light as wind embraces your heart,
testifying to eternal peace,
as soul, heaven, and heart will never part.
You don’t have to pay anything
to hear the sea, endlessly beautiful, in a shell,
listen to the angels and the muses’ bell.
It doesn’t matter if you came from the north,
the south, the east, the west
the light of hearts and angels
are always on your side.
All people are on a journey;
The mission is the goal
to walk the road with love
from the beginning to the inescapable end.
Feel your heart flow through your veins
the river of love carries you where you are destined to be,
on your way to the celestial sea of infinity
All cultures believe there’s a heaven,
a mystery no one can deny
No one knows how life on earth began;
no one can cast mountains aside by a spell.
In the maze of the seeker,
walls are made of thoughts.
The fruits of the tree of wisdom
can taste bitter, sweet, sour, and salt.
All stones, large and small, speak silence,
like the calm before the storm.
In the river and on the banks, wherever they may lie,
they keep silent for all times.
The farther you walk away,
the longer it takes to go home.
But wherever you may go,
you are not a puzzle but whole
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She stared speechless
in the black and white marble hall,
gazing blankly into the runes,
hypnotised by the dance of minstrels and muses
The fire danced gracefully,
to the beautiful music of the muses,
when I warmed myself by the fire,
slowly recovering from my daze
I still remember,
the black and white marble hall,
how I searched for the colours of the rainbow,
when the world felt like a cloud of cold
The night before,
the sea had coloured red,
when she saved me from the maze,
with her wonderful heart and grace
Now, more than countless years later,
the sky is more beautiful than ever before
Now it’s forever,
even though I haven’t
seen her in forever,
The dream will never end,
eternal in love
She is so beautiful…
words cannot do her justice
I love her, how beautiful she is
and always will be,
the love of my life
———-
The Sound of Love
In the silence
of the new morning
there is a sound
that goes from north
to south and all
the world around
as wind gently lifts
hope grace and mercy
in coloured skies
nothing else matters
than hearts unite
for peace by love
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Standing on the floors
where music has all might,
she dreams in love with the sky
making up herself allright
She smiles at desperados
she does not want to know,
all she loves to do,
is to be a part of the show
Now he wanders,
why should he bring her home,
to say goodbeye, leave the scene,
and walk like a dog in the rain, all alone
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
all we have been going through,
for over a thousand nights
the radiant stars,
shine as one by love
my sweet desperado friends
live forever in my heart
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
All tongues, all peoples
so many mouths, so many mouths
talking over one another
everyone different,
none is the same,
but in human hearts
the light of love
unites all
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Through you I see
and through you I feel,
That nothing in this world
can ever dim the light of love,
because our hearts
are forever one
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
My love,
my true self,
where I truly live,
gently caresses
our heart in the same sweet tone
in which choirs of angels sing
with a wondrously beautiful greeting:
that only love,
and nothing but love,
truly matters.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Today I ask myself
how I became who I am,
what I do and why I do it,
why I do what I do,
what I feel, believe, and dream,
why I am here and not elsewhere,
why I write and keep on writing
how everything arrived
exactly as it arrived,
how it all unfolded
exactly as it unfolded
why as a child at school
I stood lonely in a corner, dreaming
while the other children wrestled
and threw balls across the yard
I never understood
why I was always so afraid,
why I heard nothing anymore,
like a frightened hare
with ears pressed flat in terror
Now it is certain:
because of everything
that happened to me as a child
I fled into dreams
to escape the noise,
the sorrow and the violence,
Yet whatever took place,
I remain unspeakably grateful
for the gentle stars,
the sun and moon, the muses, the angels,
hearts like flowers in bloom,
so beautiful together,
by the grace of the light
that, just as in dreams,
goes on and on
without end

prophets who claim absolute truth
for all as all of them
do not know and are confused

cast off the chains

Liefde is een wonder dat nooit liegt, zoals de lichten in mens ogen.

TransLationes ex Scintillante Puteo Miraculorum Cordium et Lucis”
Amor omnia vincit
Liefde gaat boven alles
Love conquers all
Date sincere et amice unde fines tui consistunt
Geef eerlijk en vriendelijk aan waar je grenzen liggen
Honestly and kindly state where your boundaries lie
Verae divitiae in agendo ex amore sunt, non in exteriori pompa

Miraculum lucis per omnia saecula sine fine praesens est
Het wonder van licht is eindeloos aanwezig door alle tijden heen
The miracle of light is endlessly present through all ages
Nemo scit quando finis adveniat… mors est transformatio
Niemand weet wannner de laatste dag op aarde zal komen
Nobody knows when the last day on earth will come.

Getuig en wees deel van het liefdesmysterie
Bear witness and share the miracle of love
Non dividere, sed unire
Niet verdelen, maar verenigen
Do not divide, but unite
Aurum fortasse utile est ad necessitates materiales, sed non praebet essentiam existentiae.
Gold may be useful for material needs, but it does not provide the essence of existence.
Geld mag dan handig zijn voor materiële behoeften, het voorziet niet in de essentie van het bestaan.
Amor et salus, columnae vitae beatae, emi non possunt
Liefde en gezondheid zijn niet te koop
Love and health, the pillars of a blessed life, cannot be bought
Vera divitia non consistit in quantitate possessionum, sed in communione prosperitatis et gaudii et in custodiendis istis pretiosis thesauris.
True wealth lies not in the quantity of possessions, but in sharing prosperity and joy and cherishing these priceless treasures.

Pax, libertas, salus et amoris donum sine condicionibus – haec sunt verae divitiae
Vrede, vrijheid, gezondheid en onvoorwaardelijke liefde – dat is ware rijkdom
Peace, freedom, health and unconditional love – these are true wealth
Praeteritum in praesenti vivit et in futuris, infinitae revelationes mysterii creationis.
The past lives on in the present and in what is to come, endless revelations of the mystery of creation.
Het verleden leeft door in het nu en in wat komen gaat, door de eindeloze openbaringen van liefde.
Nullus homo scit quando ultima dies advenerit, nullus homo umquam ex morte resurrexit.
No human knows when their last day will come; no human has ever risen from death.
Geen enkel mens weet wanneer de laatste dag zal komen, geen mens is ooit uit de dood opgestaan.

Conditio humana et mortalitas, incertitudinem vitae et veritatem mortem inevitabilem et definitum finem esse, quo nemo evadat, mors non est reversibilis et mores motusque possibilitates et creativitas, quamlibet homo possidet, ad plenissime usum et vitam laetam ducendam, per nos dirigendo ad id quod vere refert.
The human condition and mortality highlight the uncertainty of life and the truth that death is an inevitable and definitive end from which no one escapes; death is not reversible and motivates the possibilities and creativity each person possesses to be fully utilized, leading to a joyful and meaningful life by focusing on what truly matters.
De menselijke conditie en sterfelijkheid benadrukken de onzekerheid van het leven en het feit dat de dood een onvermijdelijke transformatie is waar niemand aan ontsnapt; de dood is niet omkeerbaar en motiveert de mogelijkheden en creativiteit die elk mens bezit, ten volle te benutten en een vreugdevol, zinvol leven te leiden, door ons te richten op wat er werkelijk toe doet.
—
Nullus thesaurus, nullum palatium, nullus thronus aut moneta argenti vel auri, aequat lucem gaudii felicitate condivisa.
No treasury, palace, throne, or coin of silver or gold equals the joyful light of shared happiness.
Geen schatkist, geen paleis, geen troon of munt van zilver of goud evenaart het vreugdelicht van gedeeld geluk.
In amplexu, ex corde dulcis caloris, florent verum divitias.
In an embrace, from the sweet warmth of the heart, true wealth flourishes.
In de omhelzing, van harts lieve gloed, bloeit ware rijkdom.
Collaboratio et cura amans pro invicem—iuvenes et senes—sunt fundamenta vitae significativae.
Collaboration and loving care for one another—young and old—are the cornerstones of a meaningful life.
Samenwerking en liefdevolle zorg voor elkaar—jong en oud—zijn de hoekstenen van een zinvol leven.
Amor, felicitas dandi et communicandi, illa est vera divitia, quae numquam peribit.
Love, the happiness of giving and sharing, is the true wealth that never perishes.
Liefde, het geluk van geven en delen, dat is ware rijkdom, die nooit zal vergaan.
—
Amor est miraculum quod numquam mentitur, cum luminibus in oculis ut symbolum. Floret ex corde et anima, sicut flores, terra et caelum sine fine pulcherrimum.
Love is a miracle that never lies, with lights in the eyes as its symbol; it blooms from heart and soul, like flowers, earth, and the endlessly beautiful sky.
Liefde is een wonder dat nooit liegt, met lichten in de ogen als symbool; het bloeit uit hart en ziel, zoals bloemen, de aarde en de eindeloze hemel wonderschoon.

Facile est pulchrius, melius, et significativum ex amore bona opera adimplere et felicitatem dividere, quam in solio aureo aut pulpito sedentem et in nomine cuiuslibet fidei omnia praescribere, exigere et propagare.
It is infinitely more beautiful, better, and meaningful to perform good deeds out of love and share happiness than to sit on a golden throne or pulpit and, in the name of any faith, prescribe, demand, and propagate everything.
Het is onnoemelijk mooier, beter en zingevender om uit liefde goede daden te verrichten en geluk te delen, dan op een met goud versierde troon of preekstoel te zitten en in de naam van een geloof van alles voor te schrijven, goedheid te eisen en te propageren.

Verus divitiae in agendo ex interiori convictione, amore, compassione, non in exteriori pompa aut potentiae locis.
True wealth lies in acting from inner conviction, love, and compassion, not in external splendor or positions of power.
Ware rijkdom ligt in het handelen vanuit innerlijke overtuiging, liefde, compassie, niet in uiterlijke pracht of machtsposities.
Agere ex amore, efficit bona opera quae aliis prodest, altruistica bonitas ex corde oritur.
Acting from love results in good deeds that benefit others; selfless goodness arises from the heart.
Handelen vanuit liefde resulteert in goede daden die anderen ten goede komen; onbaatzuchtige goedheid komt voort uit het hart.
Mundus, caeli et terrae sunt infinita divitia creativitatis et mirabilium manifestationum.
The world, heavens, and earth are infinitely rich in creativity and wondrous manifestations.
Wereld, hemel en de aarde zijn oneindig rijk aan creativiteit en wonderbaarlijke manifestaties.

Homines suo singulari modo conferunt, sive singuli sive coniuncti in coetibus communitatibusve, per amorem, dedicationem et creativitatem. Sincerum et honestum communicare perspicientias, scientiam et experientias pernecessarium est, ut homines ab invicem discant et cooperentur ad futurum positivum aedificandum. Incitare ingenium, explorationem sui, inquisitionem independentem et liberum cogitandi atque expressionis artis fovere simile est explicare facultates empathicas et discendi intuitivum, scientiam cum amore communicare, vitale ad promovendum humanum bene esse, pacem, libertatem, prosperitatem, felicitatem, sanitatem et opes.
People contribute in their own unique ways, individually or together in groups or communities, through love, dedication, and creativity. Sincere and honest sharing of insights, knowledge, and experiences is crucial, enabling people to learn from each other and collaborate to build a positive future. Encouraging ingenuity, self-exploration, independent inquiry, and fostering free thinking and artistic expression is like developing empathetic abilities and intuitive learning, sharing knowledge with love, vital for promoting human well-being, peace, freedom, prosperity, happiness, health, and wealth.
Mensen dragen op hun eigen unieke manieren bij, individueel of samen in groepen of gemeenschappen, door liefde, toewijding, creativiteit. Het oprecht en eerlijk delen van inzichten, kennis en ervaringen is cruciaal, waardoor mensen van elkaar leren en samenwerken om een positieve toekomst op te bouwen. Het aanmoedigen van vindingrijkheid, zelfverkenning, onafhankelijk onderzoek en het bevorderen van vrij denken en kunstzinnige expressie is zoals het ontplooien van empathische vermogens en intuïtief leren en kennis delen met liefde, van vitaal belang voor het bevorderen van het welzijn van de mensheid, vrede, vrijheid, voorspoed, geluk, gezondheid en welvaart.

Omnis mirabilis forma vitae, omnis homo et omne animal, omnis arbor et omnis planta, elementa, terra, aqua, ignis, lignum, lapis, aer, spiritus et lux, omnia quae perceptibilia sunt et omnia quae nondum perceptibilia aut conscia sunt, sicut minima minimorum, inter se conexa sunt cum via lactea, sole et luna, planetis et stellis radiantibus, quae, sicut pulchritudo naturae fulgentis, testimonium dant luci amoris, mysterio infiniti universi viventis, quod a nullo homine explicari potest.
Every marvelous form of life—every human, animal, tree, plant, element, earth, water, fire, wood, stone, air, spirit, and light; everything perceptible and everything not yet perceptible or conscious, like the smallest of the small—is connected with the Milky Way, the sun, the moon, planets, and radiant stars, which, like the wondrous beauty of nature, bear witness to the light of love, the mystery of the infinite living universe that no human can explain.
Elke vorm van leven, elk mens en elk dier, elke boom en elke plant, de elementen, aarde, water, vuur, hout, steen, lucht, geest en licht, alles wat waarneembaar is en alles wat nog niet waarneembaar of bewust is, zoals het kleinste van het kleine, zijn verbonden met de Melkweg, de zon en de maan, de planeten en stralende sterren, die, net als de wonderbaarlijk mooie natuur, getuigen van het licht van liefde, het mysterie van het oneindige levende universum dat door geen mens te verklaren valt.

“Omnia” sunt unus fluxus inseparabilis in quo nota et ignota simul synergistice transformari pergunt per omnes aetates.
Every thought, every unique conceivable and inconceivable life process, and every unique vision are not isolated reactions to “the universe”, but synergistic motion.
“Everything” is one inseparable flow in which the known and the unknown continue to transform synergistically at the same time for all ages.
—
Omnis cogitatio est aeterna et pars synergistica infiniti fluminis creationum.
Every thought is timeless, and a synergistic part of the endless stream of creations
Elke gedachte is tijdloos, en synergetisch deel van de eindeloze stroom van creaties
—
Omnis cogitatio, omnis singularis processus vitae, sive cogitabilis sive inconcipibilis, et omnis singularis visio, non sunt reactiones isolatae ad universum, sed in motu synergistico versantur. “Omnia” plus sunt quam fluxus inseparabilis, in quo nota et ignota simul synergistice transformari pergunt per totum tempus, et plus est quam verbis exprimi potest.
Every thought, every unique conceivable and inconceivable life process, and every unique vision are not isolated reactions to the universe, but are in synergistic motion. “Everything” is more than an inseparable flow in which the known and the unknown continue to transform synergistically simultaneously for all time, and is more than can be expressed in words.
Elke gedachte, elk uniek denkbaar én ondenkbaar levensproces, en elke unieke visie zijn geen losse reacties op het universum, maar zijn synergetisch in beweging is. “Alles” is meer dan een onlosmakelijke stroom waarin het bekende en het onbekende voor alle tijden tegelijkertijd synergetisch blijven transformerenen en meer dan in woorden kan worden uitgedrukt.

Omnis cogitatio est aeterna (aeterna). Cogitatio est pars mirabilis processus infiniti cum infinito fluxu creationum coniuncti (infiniti fluminis creationum). Mysterium existentiae non est aliquid quod umquam coepit aut finitur; pergit crescere in aeternum, quod humanis verbis exprimi non potest
Every thought is timeless (aeterna). A thought is a miraculous part of an endless process connected with the infinite flow of creations (infiniti fluminis creationum). The mystery of existence is not something that ever began or ends; it continues to grow forever, which cannot be expressed in human words.
Elke gedachte is tijdloos (aeterna). Een gedachte is een wonderbaarlijke deel van een eindeloos proces verbonden met de oneindige stroom van creaties (infiniti fluminis creationum). Het mysterie van het bestaan is niet iets wat ooit begon of eindigt; het blijft voor altijd groeien, hetgeen niet in menselijke woorden kan worden uitgedrukt.

Nemo potest tollere peccatum verbis, sola caritas sanat et homines possunt ignoscere, discere et novum initium facere liberum et amans, non vi imperii in nomine religionum aut legis.
No one can take away sin with words alone; only love heals, and people can forgive, learn, and make a new beginning, free and loving, not through force or commands in the name of religions or law.
Niemand kan zonde wegnemen met alleen woorden; liefde geneest en mensen kunnen vergeven, leren en een nieuw begin maken, vrij en liefdevol, niet door dwang of bevelen in de naam van religies of wet.
