Catch a dream

Caught myself a dream on Friday with “Loesje”: http://www.loesje.org/
Loesje and a large group of friends are conquering the world with creativity and posters…
I met Loesje’s “dream tour” cruising the Netherlands in an old bus on “Willemsplein”. The square was converted in a bed with big mattresses and pillows. A girl handed me a piece of paper to write my dream or wish and invited me in the bed. As I told her that I was not familiar with catching dreams, she called for assistance. Another nice girl sat next to me and started questioning. Every once in a while she recaptured my story, checked confirmation of my feelings and continued questioning. Finally we agreed on the concept, I should do things that pleased me, I should not try to please the world and the concept had to do with water. After quite some ideas we agreed on “ Je kunt meevaren, Ik bouw een boot > Join me on board, I am building a boat”.
Underlying idea is:
1. I can share only if I have something to share.
2. I should achieve what makes me happy.
3. If it makes me happy it is good for other people.
I wrote my dream on a piece of linen and hang it on the clothesline in the square with all the other dreams and wishes.

The poetic streak continued, I wrote following poems.

AH XeLine (Eline bij AH XL)
Eenzaam, helemaal alleen.
Op kassa nummer 7.
De hele dag gedraaid.
Nu hoeft ze nog maar even.

Een enkel pakje scannen nog.
De grote hal wordt leeg.
Eline wacht een laatste klant.
De zwarte band stopt leven.

De avondhemel inspireerde mij:

Old bitches never die…
Als oma naar de hemel gaat,
dan is er niets verloren,
ze komt terug als acid rain,
verdampt bij ochtendgloren.

On my way to Utrecht by train, I was inspired:
Morning Rush
Watch asses passing by,
Buttocks, bottoms, buns and butts.
It creates a happy smile,
makes my morning rush.
Redheads, blondes and ponytails,
fresh awakened, looking fine,
quickly moving, way beyond.
Eyes destined, no look around.
