Today I had some barriers to take.
Imagine this image:
A horse running its rounds during a “concours hippique”.
All the time he stumbles into
a disturbing high barrier,
again and again.
He has to jump over it.
And he knows how to jump.
That’s what I did.
And I’m ready to meet the next barrier.
And I also know how to jump.
I talk every day.
Like almost everyone.
Every word is different.
All words composed together
to a phrase, a sentence.
Words and words.
Endlessly.
The world is noisy and crowded with talking words,
struggling with sentences and meanings.
I wonder when I take a day off,
a day off of any words.
Today is a good day
to be silent and peaceful.
To share intimate moments:
either with yourself
or with a beloved one.
To reflect, to think,
to listen to the inner voice.
This is a heavy and “dark” title for a music piece.
But to be honest,
rather often I really get this feeling
when observing
all political,
geopolitical and
environmental developing stories.
A National Mourning Day.
A symbol for a common feeling of grief.
During this exceptional case
in Dutch national history,
I felt inspiration
to send music to everyone.
The days after
the MH17 plain disaster last week,
all ongoing cruelties, conflicts and wars,
loaded with endless hate
every day again,
a very simple question came into my mind:
Why can’t we all just shake hands?
Saying:
“I’ll accept you how you are”.
Wouldn’t that make our lives much easier and happier?
Dedicated to all that were hurted so badly
by blind and stupid agression.
