The First Step
All first steps are the hardest, but me...I just plunge into the deep.
Hi, my name is Lizzz, yep, three x a Z because there are plenty lizz's and this one is unique as you will soon find out, so I added an extra Z. I like to stay original and as authentical as can be. I am Dutch and if I make writing or typing mistakes, please don't get angry or upset, just laugh and accept me. I am just "stumbeling" through this life, falling from amazement to wondering and wandering to get all my life-lessons done properly until this path ends and I get the change to start all over again. As a follower of Buddha I belief in re-incarnation, former lives and lives to follow.
Who am I? Just a slightly older Dutch girl, retired radio reporter, as I said a follower of Buddha, but not a stranger to the Hindu-lifestyle and even though I have never physical been there I have very strong bonds with India. That bonding started when I had this beautifull 12 years old girl called Maniyamma as a Foster Parent Child, some 19 close to 20 years ago, the eldest daughter of a poor farmer and his wife who tried to survive in Mysore. I helped Maniyamma through her teenage years, only to watch from Holland to see her getting married (arranged ofcourse) when she was barely 16 and to die in labour with her first child when she was not even 17 years old. My skin creeps even now when I say this. Fosterparent had one thing to say, if I would like to foster her three year younger brother. To find out that Maniyamma had three younger brothers who all were being sponsored/ fostered before I found her. I inclined. I have one small picture of "my" daughter, standing on a table surrounded by small buddhist and hinduïst statues, little candle lights, beautiful healing stones and other worshipping items. Yes I still love India, more then ever before.
But not in that same way.
I needed help myself and not Jesus came but Buddha and He has been my friend since then.
Next time I'll tell you more.
For now, Nanaste. May peace, love and light be always on your path too.
