Category: NL Notities

In deze rubriek verzamel ik mijn reflecties in het Nederlands—over politiek, geschiedenis, Cultuur en het leven zelf. Soms zijn dit korte overdenkingen, soms langere beschouwingen, maar altijd geschreven vanuit de betrokkenheid bij de wereld om mij heen.

Waar mijn Engelstalige stukken zich vaak richten op internationale thema’s, zijn deze notities geworteld in de Nederlandse traal, samenleving en ervaringen.

Soms, maakt de gedachte meer zin wanneer ze wordt uitgedrukt in de moedertaal.

Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Johan Huizinga "Civilization is not a matter of strength or wealth, but of balance, restraint and form." used in "Walking Among Memory: The Dutch Golden Age and Its Limits."
