spirit of surrim

First I wan't to go back a few days.

In Amsterdam I had a really lovely place to stay, exotic energy was in the air. I felt it but didn't speak about it because I didn't want to change anything. Everything was more than great.

My second place in Amsterdam was also really great. A wonderful open minded person who gave me a key of his flat. I could explore Amsterdam till night by foot. Just sit somewhere, enjoying time. Being at the right places at the right time, just following my intuitions.

The next day I went early to Leiden, a small beautiful city. It reminds me on my homecity Bochum. I can't explain why, just a feeling. Here I get to know some rebels from XR Netherlands, finally! It was the same spirit than in my local groups, in actions. Only another language but that doesn't matter anymore. My dreams and my thoughts switched to English. I'm speaking a lot of English here. Everyday it's getting more and more easy to speak with other people.
After the XR action training we went to a sunny place next to the water, made picknick and talked a lot. I was enjoying. Awesome ❤️
On this evening I phoned with my sister. She decided to visit me the next day in The Hague, bringing me some memory cards, my passport, and saving the documents from the police.
I also phoned with Dona from Belgium. She said I can use her address to get the new outer tent. Wow! Soon I have a working tent with no problems anymore. Thank's to OutdoorFair shop in Dortmund, Exped and Dona. So great!

After the calls and talks next to the water I went with Nathaniel through the city. He asked me if he can buy me something I need. This question is always hard to answer. Too unexpected and I can't give something back again, only my smile and a "Dank je well", "Thank you" in dutch.
After that he invited me also for eating something together. Just "why not?", without any concrete reason. Overwhelming. The last restaurant I was eating at was in Berlin, maybe 2.5 months ago. So we went to an Asian restaurant and had some really nice meal and an unusual drink.
Before I went to my sleeping place a friendly couple at the central station was interested in my tour. They offered me another sleeping place. So many friendly people here ❤️

The next day when I arrived in Den Haag ("The Hague") I met my sister and her boyfriend. They finally brought me my passport. Now I can also leave Europe if I want, very great! They also brought me two new memory cards and saved all my pictures, and the official documents from the Dutch police.
We went to the coast and I was invited again for eating some very tasty vegan stuff. It feels so great, like in heaven.
When they went back to Germany I explored Den Haag. Many people, very warm feelings, like home - but still no idea where to sleep this day. In the midday I helped a girl from Belgium a bit with a ducktape to get her phone back. It fall on the ground between boards with small gaps. Many people helped her, finally they recovered it.
In the evening I went back to this place, called "Grote Markt". Two nice guys sat there and finished their meal. I asked if I can have the not eaten outer parts of the pizza - "Sure!" We talked a bit. They had no sleeping place, but one of then asked me if I need something from the supermarket. Uhm.. again this hard question. "Maybe smoked tofu?" He said I can better go with him together to the store.
Then it went really crazy. "Do you need this, that?" He bought me everything, I didn't understand why. It was so unexpected and uncommon. It was hard to make sure that it was no dream. I had nothing like this before. He also made me fresh orange juice with a funny machine, I had to laugh. Crazy shit ❤️ At the end it was maybe 10kg, also "Pindakaas" (peanut butter), choclate, very tasty bread, lots of fruit, and processed stuff. God, wow! Really not a dream. He was away quickly, my bike was not stolen.

I couldn't believe what happened. So much love the last days.
I know situations where I was nearly crying. If somebody speaks to me then all feelings come out. It was a feeling like this, but with too many good things. I was worried about when somebody had the final straw this evening. The last straw that broke the camel's back. I had no feelings like that before, it's hard to explain. It was "wow", "why" and making sure that it was no dream at the same time. The path of the universe, the flow. Everything before had to happen, I'm still following whatever. Also the thing with Anjum was part of it. Hard to believe.

Finally I found also a sleeping place. After 12pm I was safe. The person who offered me a sleeping place is very active in Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, and some other nice things. So great, awesome! We had wonderful talks, a very special connection, too much love without doing anything. We were eating together, made something crazy in Den Haag. But's really hard to explain for me in English why this meeting was so special. I guess she understands why :-)
