Involvement in Spirituality/Religion
A daily involvement : we begin the day with meditation en exercises, we pray for food, I chant on the way to the work en try to remember this good inspiration during the day... not so easy, often very stressy working, buth always returning to the good inspiration is a good thing to make my possibility for helping people higher - also at home.

Dank je Lut! Ho...ik ben nu vooral moeder voor mijn kinderen, die hun vader nu verloren zijn. Naar Jozef (toen noemde hij nog Jozef) toe was er vooral neutrale afstand na een periode van kwaadheid en verwijten owv zijn weinig aanwezig kunnen zijn. Ik zie nu echt dat hij dat niet kon op de manier dat ik (en de kinderen) dat nodig hadden....dus die kwaadheid is over: ik kan ook sommige dingen niet en ik kon ook niet zijn zoals hij nodig had. Daardoor zat er veel scheef....dat scheef is blijven zitten. Sedert hij in Oost-Vlaanderen woont zagen we elkaar niet meer. Maar...e eerste jaren met de kinderen waren goed en ik was toen echt verliefd op hem; toen was het wat we beiden nodig hadden. erna zijn we in verschillende richting verder gegroeid. Namo Amida Bu
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my book - thank you for saying so. There is a lot of material on this site if you are interested in exploring and reading some of it. Yes, it was a very nice weekend. We enjoyed our stay with Karin as well as the day at Ksaf's house.
It was very nice to spend time with you during our visit. We enjoyed being with the Belgian sangha very much. I have sent you a friend request. Namo Amida Bu. Warm wishes - Dharmavidya
Wel Lut, sedert zondag zing ik niet meer alleen! Het verlaten gevoel is niet teruggekeerd; wel blijheid en kracht! Ik probeer iets consequenter te zijn (met vlees en alcohol)...wat jij al langer doet!!! Maar jouw stem zit dus ook tussen de andere!? O.K., dan chanten we samen...energie die blijft trillen, stralen en verbinden. Ik proef precies meer het goeie en het mooie in het Leven, wat me kracht geft om het moeilijke aan te kunnen.
Liefs!!! Namo Amida Bu
Ah Lut! Plezant om jou hier te zien. Welkom zou ik zeggen, maar origineel is dat niet hé. Ik ben blij dat je 'member' wil worden, want ik hou van jouw bijdrage en manier van aanwezig zijn in de sangha.Ik vind ze belangrijk voor het evenwicht in de groep.
Liefs en Namo Amida Bu.
Wat mijn Amida-shu-membership betreft: ik voel me goed, blij en verantwoordelijk op een voor mij lichte en onder- steunende manier: het geeft me (nog) meer richting én verbondenheid in mijn leven. Van die internationale mails geniet ik!
