Marseillan Beach

In the middle of the night, I lie awake trying to use the rarely functioning WiFi to write. Today, we left our beautiful accommodation to drive a little further. Our friends are in nearby Marseillan Beach, and we wanted to try and stay at the campsite as well. After 1.5 hours of packing up and getting the camper ready.... it's always a lot of work.... we hit the road!

After the quiet - very cozy campsite, we were a bit shocked by this campsite with a club atmosphere. Soooo many people - unfortunately, many Germans too! We had to move our camper three times because I couldn't decide on a spot while the boys watched football at the public viewing area!

Grilling sausages for dinner. Mika loves the club life and is with the other boys on the site going to the children's disco - ventriloquist and watching football. I wonder how long we'll like it....

To end the day, here's a poem by Rilke. I really like it!! The question I'm thinking about here again is: where and how do I want to live - just wait and stay calm - the answer will surely come!!

One must let things,

one's own, silent,

uninterrupted development,

that comes from deep inside,

and cannot be pushed

or accelerated by anything;

everything is gestating -

and then

giving birth...

Ripening like a tree that doesn't press its juices

and confidently stands

in the storms

of spring,

without fear

that no summer

will come behind it.

It will come!

But it only comes to those who are patient,

who are there

as if eternity lay before them,

so carelessly still and vast...

One must have patience

with the unsolved questions in the heart,

and try to love the questions themselves,

like locked rooms,

and like books written

in a very foreign language.

It is a matter of living everything.

When one lives the questions,

one may live into the answer

without realizing it,

one strange day.

[Rainer Maria Rilke]
