Climbing the Maslow mountain is indeed a climb with risks.
Getting tired, altitude disease, accidental fall, headache, aching muscles, dizziness. Then there are external factors such as traffic which makes this imaginary mountain huge.
The behavior theory says:
occurrence -> thought -> perception -> behaviour
Infact it's like economics.
If something happens then you have a thought about that which gives you a perception. This perception tells you how to behave.
Next step is to change the thought on an occurrence.
Is it a kind of crisis management?
It is a next step into the death zone.
Well another way to find some peace is buddhism or.....
watch this video...peace man
Standing on top of the world I see ....... Life is like climbing a mountain and cope with difficulties and setbacks, resulting in enjoying the perfect view. Eventually that's what this blog is about. With a smile I say it's climbing Maslows mountain.

books
The 3 parties who cancelled the negotiations 2 times are talking again.
The party who sacrificed one of their negotiators goes back to the table to negotiate.
The informer can only warn the parties not fail another time.
It's now 3 months after the elections and nothing happened.
Wilders has a wild-card and he plays the card as someone who doesn't know the rules of the game. I think he gambles, like the the old Russian woman in Dostojevski's the Gambler. In the end she lost everything.
Why don't the political parties tell him the rules? Remind him what the rules are. Then we'll have slap sticks and Geert Wilders is the man in bonus.
On September 11 mr. Wilders will come to the 911 ceremony in NYC. He will speak there and will say probably something which is the opinion of himself and his movement. He does twitter as well. Today he twittered that the plan of a reference in Florida to burn the Koran is not a good plan.
Burning books is a symptom of the growing dissatisfaction among the natives. If you are going to burn books, there are so many books which could be burned. The environmentalists wil have a problem with book burning and not only them.

heart
Wilders is eating the confessional conservative heart out of the political nation. He is minimizing the conservative party. He's playing as a predator with his prey. It's funny to see how he sees politics. It's astonishing how the informer of the parties lets it all happen.
The confessionals are eager to govern the nation. They sacrificed the second negotiator as the well known lamb to please their God.
But in this confessional party there are also other religions present. Wilders is against their believe. At least in Holland. So he creates tension in society. We can't use that. It's a civilized world now but if we gonna expel people because of their religion or opinion it's not so friendly anymore.
Maybe he still lives in the past when his father was young. The seeds may be even sown back in an earlier past of his family. Read in Wikipedia some about Geert Wilders. It is intriguing.
Today it's September 7. This week real work started again. Meetings with the Works Council, with the director, courses to keep knowledge up to date.
The workload increases in my job but also on other departments. My old department has a shortage of employees. In the summer-period several chose to work elsewhere. From one person it is said that he could leave because he argues decisions of the team-leader. It is a sad story.
On the 16th my old department has planned a birthday party for those who had their birthday in the past year. It was told when we had a meeting with the former department. In the morning we just received a mail that my new department planned a trip with a dinner. A kind of teambuilding.
I'm not so keen on parties so these are planned well.
Another party is tonight, I wanna say happy 68th birthday to Fennie Brouwer. Fennie I send you my heart.

swarmdemocracy
Early this morning I heard a theory about starlings.
The number of starling that is necessary to make a swarm is the square root of the total number starlings. For a swarm of 1,000 starlings only 33 must have the same idea. These are social animals you know. You must have seen them on a rooftop, crowding in trees or on a high voltage cable above the ground. In September, October they'll be grouping to make the flight south, to south Europe and Africa.
Humans act the same way. The guerilla marketing is based on the same principle. Only a relative small group of people make a complete population follow the large number. Often it works better than expensive advertisement campaigns. Some brands are ruined by the geurilla marketing.
Maybe the Dutch democracy is based upon the same principle. One party which got 1.5 million votes decides the faith of 16 million. It's a swarmdemocracy in the Netherlands nowadays.
A relative small group can decide. We saw it with Fortuyn and his legacy. We see it with Wilders this time. The other parties don't want to miss contact with the mass who voted for him.
The other parties follow the small one.

Politics
It's almost 3 months ago when we had elections and still we don't have a new cabinet.
It's a bit complicated and the different parties are not quite honest to themselves, to the voters, to democracy and the rules we have in our democracy.
The game is played by amateurs: Wilders, Rutte and Verhagen. The leaders of the 3 parties which have a 1 seat mayority.
Now one party can't guarantee that all their members will vote in the line of the cabinet.
This is for Wilders a reason to quit negotiators.
In the Conservative party there are 3 member who can't go with the line set by the 3 negotiators.
Wilders want these 3 to sign a statement in which they promise to vote with the party.
This is forbidden in my country. Every Parlementarian should vote for themselves, what they think is wise. Not what the party thinks.
Wilders and his followers will be in the opposition and will criticize the new cabinet in every combination.
Paulus converted himself from a prosecutor of christians into a follower of Christ. Can Wilders change himself? I don't think so.

Sallie
World Peace might come about if {we} blogged about it. More importantly it begins with a smile to a stranger, a kind word to another; consistently. A touch, a hug, ... a meaningful glance into a troubled eye. IF everyone helps and produces positive thoughts, even when it hard to do so... The World would turn differently. IF people only would try... and maybe be less-selfish. Negative War Blogs promote distruction even when they are against the distruction... just the thought/reality promotes. ~sad~ {Bravo... on this post, it is worth thinking about}

smile
a girl standing here
not so different
than the rest
so much self esteem
so dynamic
and so direct
all these positive marks
lead to a negative one
so nosy and clever
so prominent
she gets tired
of herself
she is a pro
in the game
of making friends
that is her business as usual
to put a smile
on people's faces
the girl standing there
so different than the rest
so much self esteem
so dynamic
and so direct
she puts a smile on my face too

Adam Phillips explains psychoanalysis with reading poetry. According to Freud poetry came before psychoanalysis.
What is poetry?
What is it that poetry takes more energy than just a story?
Why don't I ask what psychoanalysis is? Because the answer is there.

frogspawn
the bending climbing tree
kneeling to the ground
along the waterside
invited like an elephant
to climb in
and watch from it's back
in spring
the frogspawn
turn into tadpoles
catch them
and keep them alive
of course they will all die
in summertime
see large fishes
snapping at oxygen
from the air
try to catch one
and dad will butcher it
in late summer
break into a shed
on the other side
of the lake
and grab some stuff
mum will like
in autumn
before the rain
and storm
collect as much
chestnuts and acorn
mum will like again
in winter
sledging to the waterfront
trying the ice
getting wet and cold
hot chocolate
as a treat

king
around me space
everything and empty
earthly heaven is far away
I am nothing
of everything that is defenceless
the start of everything with value
but don't call me Sam
because I am the king of nothingness

motivation
I was not quite motivated to go to the Harz. The plan was to cycle to the highest mountain in north west Europe. This mountain, the Brocken, has a height of 1,142 meter. Lack of motivation makes achieving this plan more difficult.
Yesterday I read about Faust as part of the story written by Goethe. It's the part when Mephistopheles leads Faust through the Harz near Schierke, a village on foot of the Brocken. The village and the mountain were my destination.
I told C., my neighbour, that I read about my destination where I would go to on bike.
She understood immediately that the book was the motivation to go to the Brocken for another time.
I must admit that is a motivation for the next time.
Is it by accident that the not made vacation destination, occurs in a book I didn't plan to read?
No, it gives me the motivation to try it another time.
Is it by accident people fall in love? I can't help.
Today I had to go to my former colleagues. It's a heavy load and that's why I am so positive and happy when I'm there. When I sat there and spoke to someone I suddenly heard the loud voice of E. saying hello to me. Disturbed I watched her and said hello. I did my work and said goodbye when I was ready.
At my new workplace I had much to do and I got a call from E. All work related. She asked me if the payment to a big creditor was made yet. She asked if I could help her with the info. I said I would do anything for her.
She said more or less that she doesn't like me saying that. I was a bit puzzled.
Later I spoke her again after providing her with the information she wanted I asked her what she meant. Rhetorical she said that I knew. I admit I played a game from the book. And E. reacted as I expected. Probably she is more clever than I am. In her vocabulaire no means no.
In Dostojewski's the player the main character likes Pauline Alexandrowna. Her name is mentioned on the first page. On page 40 he reminds her that he's her slave and that on an occasion she could have said one word and he would have jumped into the ravine of the Schlangenberg. He would do anything for her. My guess is that because Pauline didn't say that one word he could stay and love her. She knew that he loved her. Maybe that is what she likes; to be loved.
Probably E. likes people and people like here. But don't go to far. Because then E. can/should/would and will act accordingly. There is a thin line which I shouldn't cross and I know it.

design
I changed my blog a little. It looks more professional.
The advantage is that the blog is easier to maintain. I can add gadgets which I have to experience.
The first mistake I made was that I forgot my counter. I lost the 5,436 visitors since July 20 2004. Who cares. A chance to reinvent, make it better and have more fun.
The blogosphere could be a form of Intelligent Design (ID). :)
Bloggers make their stories, write about something or collect from the Internet and the designer creates a gimmick to create even better blogs. Step by step it will be more intelligent. I bet in a few years it will be possible to use apps on your cellphone to write a blog without writing but only giving the content of personal interest. A blog feeder does the work. The same as with news-feeds now on the blogs.
What's the use of it, you might ask. Ask yourself why people write. I mainly write to synchronize and analyse my life. It is very therapeutic.

3 minutes poem
the sun
mother of earth
warms earth
lets life be
you were out for sun
you love sun
it gives you life
and joy
your happiness
depends on her
it is her
it is a confession
to confessor
who she is
but hell
she does not know
mother of earth
warms earth
lets life be
you were out for sun
you love sun
it gives you life
and joy
your happiness
depends on her

it is a confession
to confessor

Faust & 9-11
A report of last week:
Last Thursday I had a day off and at noon I got my bike for a ride of 2 hours.
At 4 pm I had an appointment with a therapist to make clear what I want to work on.
It's my coping-style, how I deal with problems. I want to find out how I can determine when something might get out of hand.
E. said wisely that when I got 2 conflicts, it's probably me who causes the problem. I am the only constant in it. She apologized herself. I don't blame her.
So I got to work on my coping style....
This weekend I started to read something about Faust, quite interesting.
I also read a collection of columns of a writer who admires PVV-leader Wilders.
You better know your enemies isn't it?
Shocking news is that in the pre Wilders years she was more an advocate of the murdered Theo van Gogh. Her columns were amusing though.
Note that Wilders will be at the memorial of the 9-11 attacks in NYC.
He'll be there because of the building of a mosk a few blocks away. Of course in the Netherlands it's all free publicity for his movement.
What is the connection between Faust and 9-11 I ask myself.
Are both connected by an advocate of the Devil?

imaginable
15 years in jail how would that feel? I can only speak for myself. I think of the lost contacts with family and friends. Not so much with society, with life as it is.
Family and friends matter but society and life will be different. Both will be in another form. There will be life. Not as it was. Just as it is. Unimaginable if you look in the future. Looking back is easy.
I saw a report from an airport where 2 men waited for their sister from Iran. They haven't seen each other for 9 years. The reporter was astonished.
I thought of Ocean and her husband. 9 Years and 30 years no physical contact with family. I can't imagine what the welcome would be or can I?
I haven't seen and spoken my step mum in a 15 years. That hurts because I got so much to say, so many things to talk over. I feel we have 15 years to catch up. I feel that time is ticking but in a part of me time has come to a halt. She has been frozen in a time capsule.
That means 15 years in a prison cell for me. Minutes go by minute, days by days, but in a part of me time stopped. The strange thing is that I don't feel myself getting older in that particular spot, only wiser.
Maybe this post is all about responsibility.
