Teachings from the wise green parrot

The city of Amsterdam is full of life. So many different animals are living here. For me it is a great pleasure to watch them being and doing their daily stuff. For me the green parrots is one of the most amazing and surprising animals that live here. It is obvious that they are not indigenous to this usually cold city.

Many people hate them because they make a lot of noise. I love them because they are always “gezellig” as we would say in dutch. They always seem to have deep conversations.

Recently I got tipped about this new app called Meetup that got me curious. Meetup is an app other than FB or Insta. Instead of showing others what you like or what you are doing, you can actually invite them into your world,Into your hobby, or interest and do it together with them. I’ve found out that it is a beautiful way to connect with people from all different kind of backgrounds. There are so many things you can join. F.E. There are book clubs, movie clubs, Sunday morning breakfast clubs, dancing events, sharing circles, board game meetings. You name it and it’s probably there.
