About

How to give an impression of oneself without inviting unwelcome guests to come knocking on the door or sending others away screaming? Well, here goes.

I live in the Netherlands, am retired and married with two children, both of whom are now leading their own lives.

I’ve traveled quite extensively whilst working in the weather business. I’ve met a lot of people and seen how others with very different ideas from the western view of life also make a success of living and surviving.

Special interests:  Nature, Astronomy, Cosmology, Philosophy

What I present here are poems, short stories, and whatever else comes to mind; some serious, some less so, concerning life and events based on my experiences.

Much inspiration is done listening to Enigma, Vangelis (his El Greco haunts me) and Pink Floyd.

I’m not trying to sell any ideas but I would hope that my ramblings might contribute to new insights into the meaning of life on this beautiful world.

Thanks for your visit.

Best regards,

Jan Freeman
