about me

We are going over land to Nepal. First Susan, her van and me to Istanbul. And from Istanbul it will be Laura, two backpacks and me. To Nepal. Without a limit in time.

India strikes (again)

Life has played a trick on me
Not necessarily wanted to come to India
it was just on the way to Nepal...

Now
The outward journey
Is becoming an inward one
India shows its hidden powers
What is buried underneath the chaos, the sounds, the masses
Is a universal, endless knowledge
What is hidden behind the 1000 gods
Is one
What was a seed inside elsewhere
Is sprouting here
India knows
She doesn’t speak
Or at least not about what she knows
She only gently takes you by the hand
Without you realizing it
Gives you the experiences you need
Takes away the superfluous ones
Encourages seekers of truth
Doesn’t leave them empty-handed at the side of the road
She knows she has a lot to offer
Many fakes, one real one
Many cheaters, one saint
But she knows
That that is the way
Offering the wrong
In order to identify it, experience it, live it, taste it
Become sick
And be purified
And find the right
India knows more than one is able to grasp
Understanding not to understand
Traveling while not moving
Losing in order to find
Holding the breath in order to breathe
Diarrhea in order to become healthy and empty
Craving not to crave anymore

That is India’s teaching
That is India’s noble truth
In the form of mountains, rivers, saints and a very special woman
