From a mountain hill
I see the setting sun; she has never seen her own shadow, disappearing in a
crying horizon. Once that horizon was a state of harmony, the
link between heaven and earth, bright and full of clean blown skies, of clear,
pure, flowing rivers, with quiet, green valleys and noble trees that stood on
the mountainside with determination and dignity. Steadfast, despite all the boisterous storms of life,
in deep peace with their creator they could withstand anything. The silence and purity are gone; we
are surrounded by the activity, the turmoil and noise of the outer world,
characteristic for the life of man on earth. Let
us respect the sanctuaries of nature, which've made us great together with the cosmic
(Divine); at last all of them together gave us life. Let us no longer be a threat and stop
our greed that struck wounds which can never be healed!
Through hope and determination we see the future in the present. Let us inhale again the breath of silence, let us open our hearts, knowing what our children will need. Let us become strong to respect gratitude again with a heart full of love for all that has been created. Let us see the sun set in a smiling horizon again, where we can admire again the ducks that are dreaming by the ditch, their head gently against their wings.
Let them continue dreaming in a world of pure air and clear water. The miracle of water, the golden engine of all living beings in this world. Water is the source energy and the most mysterious element on earth. We are water; we are born out of it and cannot do without. We feed ourselves with it, wash ourselves in it and keep ourselves pure and clean internally by it, it is our life source. Water reaches its goal by continuously flowing from the highest mountains to the sea. It is scared of nothing, not of a dangerous place, nor of a fall into the deep; nothing can make it lose its own essential nature.
We share the air with the forests and water with the rivers, canals and seas. As a body we are one. Water is a great mystery; it gives strength to man but also destruction. What we know about it, is a drop, say physicists, and what we don't know about it is an ocean. In the Age of the Aquarius, which we now enter or already have, we could easily build a bridge between the conscious and the supernatural. Water reaches us as a miracle and provides all life on earth with the necessary energy. When I'm sad, I like walking in the rain so nobody can see me cry.
When I'm happy, with a smile on my face, I look in the clear quiet water of a lake or pond, so I can admire my cheerful mirror image. Let us keep nature healthy so water can cleanse itself again: if it can only move, wave, flow, fizz, swirl and frolic - nothing is as healthy for us as "living" water - and the two of us can dream by a beautiful rising and setting sun, under clear skies and a calm of silence around us.
Yours truly, William

Inhoudelijk goed vertaald Sven, mijn Engels is ook niet zo best, maar het is begrijppensvol de tekst...groeten Mia uit Zeeland
Un hermoso y fácil de leer texto, ciertamente bien traducido. Saludos desde Kelli y Brent saludos desde España beautiful text easy-to-read, good translated. Greetings from Kelli and Brent greetings from Spain
@ Mia
"...ook niet zo best..." is dat een typisch Nederlandse frasering gelijkwaardig aan de Vlaamse "...wel niet..." en bijgevolg taalkundig niet correct? ;-)
Groetjes, Sven
Vind "ook niet zo best" beter, jullie zeggen "wel niet" is het dat wel (ja) of is het niet ? ;-) Mia ( ja die Hollanders he ! ! ? ?) maar je hebt toch mijn waardering hoor.... voor de goede vertalingen....
Effe "de puntjes op de i" zetten:
Met "ook niet zo goed", maak je de vergelijking met het niveau van mijn Engels en impliceer je dat mijn Engels dus niet goed is.
Vervang een keer jullie "ook" door ons "wel". Dat is dezelfde betekenis van het woord. Het was niet mijn bedoeling om aan te sturen op 'beter' of 'slechter'. Beide fraseringen zijn immers taalkundig niet correct en persoonlijk tracht ik ze dan ook wel niet te gebruiken. :-)
Nog bedankt voor de waardering.
Groetjes
Sven
