Heart
This is heart for E, one our riders at the equistrian riding school for the disabled. I started working there as a volunteer years ago. I walked around with a bucket of tar to take care of the hoofs, and I groomed the horses. Sometimes I helped out with the riders but, honestly, I wasn't very good in wiping drool away or shoving and pulling someones body so they are safe on the horse. But over the years I learned a lot and there were moments when I was deeply touched by the perseverance of some our riders. How they have to work to achieve the smallest things; holding on to the reign, or sitting up straight. One afternoon, I just stood there with tears in my eyes when one our childeren, (with a mental disability) pushed the wheelchair of another rider. Both of them screaming and laughing. And both them not bothered by their disability at all.
Yesterday one of our riders wasn't feeling to well. He's around forty, and has Down Syndrom. He was quietly sitting in the corner of the bar. We all felt bad for him but we did not know what to do. I'm the bar-lady and I did not want him to be sick in my bar. For the selfish reason that I was oing to be the one to cleanup. Maybe some fresh air might help, I thought, and we went for a short walk. We walked up to Zuni, one of our horses. He looked at the horse, whispered to him and started patting the nose of the horse. Very calm and and very gentle. Completely focused. I was deeply touched by his calmness and kindness.
A few moments earlier he annoyed me: Why did he not stay at home if he's ill. What if he vomits all over my floor? And i was a little scared. It is not always easy to reach out people who need our help. Especially if the situation makes us un-comfortable or even scares you. But I got over my fear and in return he just he just made my day. This heart is for him. And for myself as well, so I don't forget to be compassionate and kind to people who need help.

Nrc.next van vandaag
Vanochtend op een drafje naar de brievenbus want er staat een prachtig stuk van Emma Bruns in. Over haar co-schappen in Bolivia. Watjes, balpennen, ct-scans zijn daar allemaal schaars. Daar kan de nederlandse gezondheidzorg nog iets van leren. Met een illustratie van mij erbij.
Gelukkig er was een krant! Maar de verkeerde, de concurrent. Weet dus niet hoe de illustratie er in print uitziet....

Post
Post, ik kan er enorm blij van worden. Soms rij ik 's avonds laat van mijn werk naar huis en dan kan ik echt hopen dat er leuke post in mijn brievenbus ligt. Ik heb mooie enveloppen thuis liggen uit New Zealand, Guatamala, Mexico, Myanmar, China, Thailand en Canada. Maar tegenwoordig stuurt bijna niemand meer post. Gisterenavond kwam ik thuis en deze envelop lag in de brievenbus. Prachtig! De postzegels zijn zomaar midden op de envelop geplakt. Het zijn er vijf waarvan de grootste wel drie centimeter meet. Op die postzegel staan vijf paarden die in woeste galop over de steppen galopperen. Drie grote stempels met de plaatsnaamaanduiding Kaposv-Cesp. En dan heel klein links in de hoek met een potloodje geschreven, het nummer 30. Wat een prachtexemplaar deze envelop uit Hongarije, van Mihalik. Maar ik ken geen Mihalik en deze brief is in mijn brievenbus terecht gekomen maar bedoeld voor mijn buren op nr. 109. Ik klik over 2 minuten op 'Publiceren' en dan ren ik naar beneden om deze envelop hun brievenbus te stoppen. Want eigenlijk eigenlijk kan het niet, de brief voor iemand anders op je blog zetten. Maar het is werkelijk de mooiste brief die ik in jaren ontvangen heb. Dus stiekem heb ik het toch gedaan.
