Wha...Daan - I'm sorry to hear this dear friend. What you have poured out here is so pure and beautiful that I shed tears. I don't know your tribe of divers, or 'Ah-fell' (so hilariously sweet that nickname!), but I do know you and your beguiling and puzzling mix of utter beautiful madness, and how you've shared this is no less complex, yet so simple and utterly courageous.<br /><br />Yeah yeah, I'm one of those out there who marvels at what you guys do, but I get the pull to the water as my heart pulls me to dance. But the real admiration and wonder remains for me, in your ability to freedive to such depths in processing loss, to such pure spaces of truth when it comes to grieving. For all the journeys and growth spurts I've had over recent years, this remains (as you know) uncharted waters for me.<br /><br />You honor your loved lost ones in such a palpable way that breathes new life, sacred and joyful life into their memory. I feel so lucky to be able to observe and learn this. One day... One day...<br /><br />In short, fuck the red cape, it's a hindrance really; you swim, fly, and glide just fine without it SuperDaan.SeBiArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475848709808958666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401630344855492091.post-78603965048065685982011-07-20T07:56:37.493+02:002011-07-20T07:56:37.493+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.SeBiArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475848709808958666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401630344855492091.post-79016669561979923452011-07-18T23:14:11.229+02:002011-07-18T23:14:11.229+02:00Very nicely written Daan.

You are highly thought of as a top safety diver / freediver among those of us who have been lucky enough to have you in the water alongside us. <br /><br />Adel will have thought the same.<br /><br />It isn't about what you did on the day, it's what you would have done had circumstances taken a different turn. And having the courage to continue doing what you do so well. <br /><br />Keep the cape handy.Mark Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14383919342108274735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401630344855492091.post-60520340033286439672011-07-18T21:26:28.186+02:002011-07-18T21:26:28.186+02:00Heel heel heftig, dit verhaal.
