It’s a wrap. Just at the last moment of the new year. What a nice trip. The last monument on the dike, the ‘temple of the goddess’/ tempel van de riviergodin. And that summarizes how I feel. Goddess of the land of Waal, Maas, streams and forests. And goddess touched by the light of each and every season, because it took over a year to recover and rehabilitate from a major foot injury. Grateful for encounters with people, owls, hares, pheasants, herons, buzzards, mice and my loyal dog who certainly played more than half of it. Nice retrospect so impressive 2018. Rian Boons.
