'A state of'

It's 2:46 as I start writing this blog. At night. I just returned from a party with my dear scouting friends. It's the fourth time in just two weeks that I've gone over, pretty spontaneously, to chat&drink&laugh/play a really really nerdy game called Magic the Gathering.
Back home I sleep, I paint the house for moneys, and the rest of the time is spent reading, listening to records and working on several 'projects', which I will probably never finish but I'll do a blog on that later.
There is no drama in my life. No problems within friendships, no real conflicts, no stress, no deep pain, none of the things that have been bothering me the past few... years?
In my last entry I shared some of my happy moments. Those moments when you feel the happiness bubbling inside you, you can't stop smiling, or you forget that there were ever difficult times in your life. Moments that go well with Don't Stop Me Now, On Top of the World, Animal Arithmetic and that kind of movie music that makes your heart swell up with joy, like Touch the Sky
The way I am feeling right now is more like  Featherstone, Time to Sleep, Gracious or Northern Sky.
So no, I'm not feeling exstatic all the time, and it's easy to simply keep going. But I think it's important that I realise now that I am actually in a 'state of'.
It's important to realise that I Am Happy.

Dit is geluk

Ik denk dat alle mogelijke dingen over geluk al wel gezegd zijn. Dat het een reis is en geen bestemming, dat je er niet naar op zoek moet gaan, dat je pas weet dat je gelukkig was als je down bent, etcetera. Ik kan daar niet veel aan toevoegen. Wel kan ik simpelweg delen wat mij gelukkig maakt. Dan zal ik deze post regelmatig bekijken om mezelf er aan te helpen herinneren dat ik, hoewel ik door dat pure gevoel van geluk altijd overvallen word, mijn stemming wel degelijk in de hand heb.
Here we go. En selectie uit mijn geluk.

 

Een  verlaten station in een prachtig land, warme zon, pannekoeken bakken op gasbrandertjes, een voldaan gevoel na twee dagen kanoën.     

 

 

 

 I know a lot of people don't understand what I'm about. She did.
Also I like the illusion that I'm still a kid who doesn't understand the world.

 

 

 

Just me and the rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 Need I say more?

 

 

 

I also find a lot of joy in spending time with my friends and the people I love, but I didn't think it would be appropriate to post photo's of them without their consent.
