For peace and quiet, a person goes to a monastery. Spent this weekend in a monastery in Oosterhout. Nine people, two days, six tidal shifts, three meals, four meetings, a round of running (lost). Then you can get up so early (six o'clock), it remains a tight schedule. This program seems at least as exciting as an average weekday.
Such a weekend includes an evaluation moment: "Am I rested?" The best thing is to put it to the test when I return home: have I found inner peace? Maybe unnoticed?
When you return home, the TV button: zapping through 18 channels. The speed at which I zap away is a measure of how closely I follow my intuition. The closer to your intuition, the better equipped you are. So here it comes: Reports of football matches: I hold on. Interviews with football coaches - zap. Rude and very agile overtaking behavior across a solid line, commenting on monotonous disapproving police tone - zap. Advertising for… - zap. Another car program: this time just fanatically jubilant about cars that have to be as fast and agile as possible: zap, zap. The next football match has begun. Teams whose quality is disappointing to me. And then it happens: I turn off the TV.
I turn off the TV! Really true. I surprise myself. Look at the remote, smile at my index finger. With pride. There it is, just next to the remote control.
No, it is not lying. He is resting.
