ADVENT LETTER #6
Change & Evolve goes Christmas 🎄
Monday, December 6, 2021
🎅🏽Today is St. Nicholas Day and in some countries this is celebrated bigger than Christmas, for example in the Netherlands. I was very lucky as a child that we celebrated both when we lived there.
If you enjoy my Letter I would be thrilled if you share it with the people you believe may enjoy it too!
📚My Poem of the Day
The English writer and poet Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson 1832–1898) is probably best known for his books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass.
In his poem “A Boat, Beneath a Sunny Sky,” Lewis Carroll conveys the implacability of time through images of its consequences—the “paling” of a “sunny sky,” the changing of a season, and the loss of wonder or innocence that often accompanies the transition to adulthood.
A Boat, Beneath a Sunny Sky
A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July—
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear—
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream—
Lingering in the golden gleam—
Life, what is it but a dream?
🎶My Song of the Day
Today’s song is “What a Wonderful World” by the unforgettable “Satchmo” or Louis Armstrong…

👀Impressions of the Day
As I love sitting in my favourite chair to read, with a pot of good tea, especially when it is cold ❄️ outside. As I chose a poem by Lewis Carroll today, I thought this this to be very suitable…
💭Thought of the Day
Especially in a time in which we sometimes feel locked up - go outside, enjoy nature even if only for a few minutes, no matter what the weather is like. Take a deep breath and clear your head - there is nothing like it!

If you can feel that staying human is worth while, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.

I tried, I really tried! But people who know me also know that when somethings is bothering me or something doesn’t add up or seem right I simply cannot stay silent - one of my greatest flaws and assets I suppose. I am constantly flabbergasted with everything that is happening around me, even more since I have been watching Covid Revealed for the past few days now - which has been and is a true revelation and absolutely riveting.
Covid Revealed is a series with nine episodes that are only online for 24 hours each and absolutely worth seeing. Even if you have missed a few days, I would like to share the rest of this series (secretly hoping that they will put the episodes you missed up for viewing one more time) right here if you are interested.
I have always taught my children, and live by the same directive, that things that are easily explained and easy to understand (I believe that I have mentioned several times in my newsletter that I have this annoying need to understand things), feel good, feel right, appear logical, are most likely good things. With what is happening around us today and for the past 20+ months, there is no logic, there is little to no good to it and it is impossible to comprehend. It makes no sense whatsoever and it feels like it is only being done to hurt people.
I believe that everything that needs an enormous marketing budget to promote constant fear, instead of investing in healthcare or in nursing staff, ignoring available and easily accessible treatments or providing a good health service cannot be good or right. When coercion and threats are needed to convince people to get a jab and they are being blackmailed, threatened with the loss of their job with loss of their freedom - as it is already happening in Australia, where people are being locked up in quarantine camps, sometimes for no apparent reason for two weeks even if they test negative during that time - something is seriously wrong.
So I am also sharing the link to today’s video of Covid Revealed for everyone who may be interested to get information that the main stream media does not want you to see and because we have unfortunately been experiencing a very one-sided narrative through the MSM for the past almost 2 years now which I feel is absolutely unbearable. In Covid Revealed you can listen to scientists and other people with amazing credentials that shed some (scientific) light on the current world events, very simply for everyone to understand (if I understand it, anyone can), and which actually makes great sense. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything as that is not my call. But I do find it important that we all have the opportunity to see the two sides of the medallion, as there are always two (or even more ) sides to most situations - no matter if you are jabbed or not. I hope you will look kindly on my decision to put this in todays Letter and I want to thank you personally for reading this. I hope you enjoy Covid Revealed and get some insight of what you don’t see in the media on a daily basis - judge for yourself.
