We found our focus again and the flow of travel. Europe is a Great Place to Live When You Want to see it;) People with clear eyes showed us the Way. From Tyrol to Bossey.

On the way the guy from the train showed us where to sleep. Blue eyes. Master of 'who Dampfzug "(The Steam Railway, The steam train) and we slept at the house or a nice Tyrolean family.

We never thought we ended up in a little house on the mountain. No electricity or internet access available. No other Peopels too. Lio showed us the way and Welcomed us at our new home. A great Luxery When your own "ist fertig Wohnmobil.

It started to rain. Rain. Rain. We're living in a cloud. Once in a while above the cloud. In Tyrol there is a name for rain You Can Feel When You Walk Into the cloud. Something with sch ... .. (Like many words here!). So we're baking a cake inside, feel at home and THINK of Europe.

And realize That You Can Plan, and do, and check, and act but never find anything suitable for your own Needs and Dreams. We're all ended up with our ambition on a peacefull mountain with a view fantascic ... ... ... Which gives us the insights we clear Needed so much to create our own futures.

We're wondering in silence und sind wunschlos glückliche.

The next blogs Will Be Posted When we're getting back to the common "world.

And ... ... .... Europe is a Great Place to Live When anyone get some silence at A Certain Point?

As the van broke down it gave me the Most Important Thing I lost back, myself. Sitting on an Italian I Suddenly Realised toilet. I lost my focus. The goal of this trip, meeting people who Contributing to a better European society, was totally off my screen. It was Occupied by the by, the materialistic part of our trip, making plans and trying really hard to get Them Realised. As it broke down I substituted this by making travel plans with my head Other. Where It Could Have Produced much more effectivement ... Where was my thoughts flow? The space for serendipities was gone. I really pushed to hard, and speed is only as good When heading Towards the right direction, I got lost. Being busy with stuff and material planning gave me an excuse not dealing with the real important thing. Following my heart. Being open for what is inside me and is happening around me, the love for my darling and my main goal, working on the inter-religious dialogue.

It made me feel uncomfortable, feeling my Uncertainty Which I Tried to cover. A couple of days later I refused to feel again and got messed up with my head and making fights, pretty ironical doing this while talking to people about peace, I did not felt internal peace. I was really afraid of feeling, seeing my pain. Realising I was afraid of me, my goals in this world and Became blocked. From this point it was impossible to talk to people about a Great Place to Live. Rather I ran away instead of standing proudly in this world, Realizing That this is one of my days between 26.0000 nothing and infinity in the Light Which Can open my heart showing me all the pain and the beauty of being me.

Finding ourselves at a Swiss Chateau belonging to the World Council of Churches. We Were Invited meeting 36 people from over 20 Countries, Different religions from following a master class peacemaking. The question Occurs to me how far away are five fingers on the folder, When shaking hands and talking to people from Burundi, Zimbabwe and Palestine.

One of the biggest challenges the churches Should stand for in the future, we hear, is an interfaith Dialogue goods to all over the world. That and from point to go beyond mere Dialogue and reach practical goals-together-Concerning our (social) environment. Just by connecting the 93 percent or believing Citizens in the world. I think it's an amazing thought using this vast network Which Religions share.
Each individuality here at Bossey Seems to live out from His Own authenticity, Deeply felt in the hearts of people. That's Where The dialogue starts in the heart. Everyone contributes to the common goal from His or Her Own background with historian or re circle of influence, reaching for a common goal.
Talking to people here it Occurs to me that connects Network Is The Most Important Thing to do at the moment. Religious and non-religious, politics and economics, joining the forces and Expanding your circle of influence. By sharing our knowledge and common goals we Can Achieve Them Easily. Maybe this is the new solid ground Where The Parable of the Rabbi was about Which said "give me a solid Ground to stand on and I will move the world."

It Touched My Heart, seeing all this people from differential religions and backgrounds from all sing Their thesis Countries express hope. Working on a Future Which is peaceful. An Israeli girl told how she felt Enforced by everybody here, all of Them Also working on the the edge, looking over the fence and trying for change. At home she felt pretty lonely out there, standing on this edge. In Geneva the edge Became the central spindle where clause is all about. The Network made here feel like sitting on the fence, playing together, express a clear vision application for the future.

The world in Europe
Europe in the World

Dutch in France is on site,
so you're sure you 'hello' you say
and everyone feels comfortable again,
real holiday.

* * *

Where do Dutch people feel at ease?
At a camp in the south of France
with loads or Other Dutchman.

At lunch time the river is empty,
after lunch time the river is full.
Five matches at half the river goes empty again,
and everyone sits together peace-fully.

On the site, next to the car,
the children making friends with New Neighbor,
and you talk with your neighbor about the weather in The Netherlands.
You feel home. A sweet holiday home.

The public space in Lyon invites
Fri to relax
to meet in the void
do and wonder.

Life is beautiful and sometimes
if you want, you
to greatness.
Certainly in Lyon.

* * *

The public space in Lyon is clean, clear and invités you to wander.
We've Noticed very less commercial advertisement in the environment,
You See, What They Want You To See. History and attention.

The busses match the bicycles-to-take in color and form.
Almost free to take, and travel in public. Everywhere you see people taking bikes,
take themself at one point, leave at Them Another point
so it is not a "tourist-thing ', but Actually really clever.
And it gives much more space in the open space!

Space wander around people to use, find intimate places of the Park,
Terraces on a, on a big square. People Use Their publishing environment!
When They eat but there is less space ... .. When Needed here for a private conversation,
you almost sit on eachother lap.

Like the model on page 7 of the Great Place to Live "issue" Living and Life '(Living and Living).
less space is Needed When people trust eachother.
The space is open Which Remains Actually Used To test eachother.

(Compared to, "When people do not trust eachother, They need loads of space only for Them elves and claim this space for Their Own need. Unfortunately you do not test anyone else there, but yourself. And If You Have a Lack of trust, it Can be pretty uncomfortable to test yourself;)

I found myself at the assembly of the European Churches, Churches from 150 to 30 Countries in Lyon for a week. Working on a vision for the future. I was curious about Their contribution to European society. I talked to bishops, clergyman and believers from all over Europe. Greek, Finnish, Latvian and Italian people and all theme with Their Heart at the Right Place, Sharing the Same intention. Bringing Light Into Europe and addressing the question in Which We Want to live in society. On stage I Heard Beautiful Intentions speeches and shared differentiation from all church leaders. True collaboration Came From The talks in the corridors where clause with all denominations and laughed, did business together and networking. All of Them Creating a feeling of togetherness, a European feeling, building on an equally Greater Place to Live.
Seems very powerful religion to join forces, to bind together from London to Tbilisi, from Lisbon to Istanbul. Keeping ones own identity but working together, by a shared vision. Marvelous! Neverthless When It Comes to structures, Religion Can Also divide. All this potential has been put on hold by hierarchical structures. Some but Not all are on top holding the brake, Which is enough to deaccelerate. From underneath humans shared Their deepest wishes, making Them Alive in concrete projects.
Which are the relationships made in the corridors are fully or hopefully longer Than the tax effort amandments tasks. As The Archbishop of Albania said to me, "some churches are Yearning for Love". And The Finnish delegates: 'We Have to celebrate the joy of life. Thats Exactly what the Italians did at the last dinner, Celebrating live by chanting, laughing and toasting, changing the stiff dining hallinto a cozy chaos.

I left this afternoon from a wonderful place, a garden where butterflies frolic to your head and your body automatically goes to smell flowers. The professor was there very content with his own spot. Apparently you with the right focus your Great Place to Live create. Says a passing Frenchman again go against me, "what stinks say your car!" I apologize and go quietly away. Indeed, the car smells something, it will be the brakes are so in the mountains ... Wrong. It is the link, it appears that smoking may be quite nice as an oil.

The man at the roadside is Portuguese and has a garage in the French town of Die. Europe is not in his Great Place to Live, money is really too difficult .... I think I'm happy, as if sitting in his garage and staring at the sky from an earthly smell of oils and worn tires. He may use a new clutch.

The realization calls on me the more you are carrying the greater the care and attention you have to spend it. As with the beautiful house where I was this morning. Would that be pay attention to what is beautiful, what you happy? Then grow your own Great Place to Live?

It's amazing how life can get you out of situations. Gea my neighbor in Groningen camped across the river near the garage. Breakfast with her and swim with the kids, delicious!

The church bells of Jesus-Eik woke me with irregular strokes. It was seven hours and closed the doors of the church. 14 hours later, I returned to the French highway laughing at the thought if I move or the highway. Is there suddenly a young man. No emergency lane, dangerous. I stop and wave to him. No response, strange. He steps in and mentions a French town. My French is weak, but he wants to call his mother and was slightly panicked. Understandable. At the next turn I ask him (he is still on the phone) or off it should, no, no lights. Then exit the same. I think we understand each other. I stop and try again to make contact. Although he has sat can not. It appears that he wants me to snap and bring him to Vienne, or thereabouts. I decide not to do it and put it in the rain on the street. Not because I do not want, nor because my fuel almost exhausted. He does not really touch the heart to heart. Further propelled by a sky full of lightning continues to gnaw. He also creates his own work equality in mind I turn to him and send him light.

Zandvoort at the sea the first destination. Herman drove me the miracle child after a night doorgefeeste Amsterdam. Where we by a passerby in a miraculous way to the Leidseplein were piloted at Euro 1000 in cash may obtain. Money to Europe to explore it, looking for everything Europe Great Place to Live is. Well look, looking, actually it is a find, serendipity, address the unsought discoveries. As the Iraqi writer Alla in the RV travels to Stadskanaal, Pek van Andel as I get a toilet with blond and coffee in the stomach and good stories in my head again pull away. Adventures that took place even before all the real journey began. Very promising.

Zandvoort told wonderful people unrealistic plans for them to become reality. As NSwing, dance booths at the stations waiting pleasures. We enjoyed the beauty Zandvoort. Surprised by the Holland casino folks with a vista of the sea just ignore the flashing lights in their eyes. And the couple that their planning more important than the beautiful sunset on the beach. The beauty was all around us, we did it just to pick up, what a pleasure.
