Team Wisdom prepares 140 starter kits

In a cozy atmosphere, we prepared 140 starter packs for new pilgrims this afternoon. Things are moving fast: we are approaching the 1,900th pilgrim, of which almost 850 registered this year.

The intention was to do it mindfully, but that still takes some practice! In any case, Anja Strik succeeded in reciting her translation of the song Suzanne by Leonard Cohen:

Suzanne takes you to her place by running water
You can hear boats go by
By her side you will spend the night
And you know it’s peculiar
But that’s what attracts you so much
She treats us to tea with herbs from the Far East
And just when you want to tell her, you can’t give her love
A wave of her hits your being
And the water lets you know
That you’ve always been her lover

Team Wisdom this time: Dorien Dubbers, Maria Ludikhuize, Lioba Hoogenstraaten, Anja Strik and John Wouda. In any case, Damien made tea and the cat Pipi came to purr when the work was done. We were able to do so much thanks to the preliminary work of lace-up tyers and knotters Lidia van Engeland and her husband Henk-Jan, Ryon Groenen, Anja Strik and Maria Ludikhuize.
