Bij de moeder van Els op bezoek. Achter haar huis staat een heel nest appelbomen. In 1935 opgezet als werkverschaffingsproject en heeft heel veel verschillende rassen appels die je misschien nooit in winkel zou tegenkomen.

This Is How the World’s Poor Are Pioneering the Future of Energy

Losing a belief in free will has not made me a fatalist – in fact, it has increased my feelings of freedom. My hopes, fears, and neuroses seem less personal and indelible. There is no telling how much I might change in the future. Just as one wouldn’t draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn’t do so on a basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the past. A creative change of inputs to the system – learning new skills, forming new relationships, adopting new habits of attention – may radically transform one’s life. Becoming sensitive to the background causes of one’s thoughts and feelings can -paradoxically- allow for greater creative control over one’s life. This understanding reveals you to be a biochemical puppet, of course, but it also allows you to grab hold of one of your strings.
