Treat the youth right or play with dynamite

by Luchonda - last update: Nov 7, 2007

The old wise man and the young learning tortoise

The unfinished painting
I bought this painting in China, somewhere in the streets of Shanghai, or was it Hangzou, i do not remember, i'm getting old and maybe wise.
The maker of it was still busy to finish it, but i said : stop, and paid him a few dollars. He learned me to share wisdom with the younger generation in this small but beautiful world, so that they will get wiser too.
In this sence i would like to quote Albert Einstein :
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."
Kim and Senne, my second grandchild

A sunflower in my family

Whatever happens - this is my sunshine at home - my daughter Kim !
She left home on october the first to live together with her friend - she is 23 ! she is right. But we had to crack some emotional nuts !
( 20/07/04)
I just received her phonecall to tell me :
Dad, your FIRST grandchild will be born in March 2005
Isn't this greeeat !
And guess what, today 03/01/07 i received another call telling me : Dad, your SECOND ...,called Senne and born on sept 2nd

Only one week to go

March 12th. Only one week to go and my grandchild will be born.
Laying my hands on the "safety box" of my daughter, and listening if i can catch any noice or signal telling : I'm ready grandpa
"Im ready too GC !"
Believe me - i'm walking on pins and needles waiting for the ultimate moment.
A warm welcome to the next generation.

Build now for the future of our children

Let us built now clean foundations so that the next generation doesn't have to ask : "WHY"
What they need from us is the "experience" - what we need from them is their "innovating ideas"
Hi folks, my number is Sam 007

My second grandchild - called Senne

Yeessssss - the next generation in the picture - a boy
Kim and Fredje and Sam - congratulations
Senne - my second grandchild
Excess - private eyes

A little bit about me

I love traveling and taking pictures - of people - animals and landscapes.
I hope you will enjoy my reports - all pictures are made by myself or if not - i will tell you ! Have a great time on VT - A favourite picture of mine - Street performers called "Excess" during the famous "Gentsche Fieste " A local festival in July ! In Ghent - my hometown ! Look at my travelogues !

Peace - everywhere

This picture i took in "The House of Peace" in Gent - A drawing made by the children of the school. It gave me some hope that at least the next generation will be wiser.
Peace - everywhere
