She was just an ordinary person which meant that, if she were going to work toward her dreams, she wouldn't start out with a multi-million dollar "loan" from dad.

She'd have to work, and persist, experience frustration and disappointment, fall down, and get up again. But it would also mean that she would deserve every bit of her success.

Walk your own path, in your own way. The people who nudge you into doing it the way they think it should be done have no intention of walking it with you.

She stopped in the midst of the path, her thoughts turned inward to a place as peaceful as the garden she stood in.

All around her was peace, beauty, light -- an explosion of flowers that wasn't loud and caused no harm, but rather, filled the environment with joy and color.

I imagine that a place called The Garden of Chaos wouldn't be popular -- I mean, who wants to immerse themselves in havoc, confusion and fear?

Oh, wait, we do have Garden of Chaos, and it's remarkably, sadly popular -- its other name is "The News."

She stood still, not wanting to break the moment by any careless step or wave of hand. The light that danced through the courtyard was warming, and as it swirled around her, caught her in its gentle embrace, it filled her soul with a sense of peace and calmness that she had not felt since she was a child, held in her mother's arms.

Nieuws uit Nederland @Nietlientje has just posted this 1932 photo from the Schiedam municipal archives of the Hygiea gymnastic association.

There's a rich history, of which I know too little, of gymnastic and calisthenic movements during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries -- Swedish gymnastics, the "Battle of the Systems" in the USA, the Sokol movement in the Czech lands...these Dutch women belong to that history.

From which socioeconomic class or classes did associations like this draw their membership? Was this association enclosed within one of the three "pillars" - Protestant, Catholic, and social democratic -- of Dutch society at this time? Did this kind of association survive into the second half of the twentieth century? I suspect not.

I was also struck by the women's unshaven underarms. How pleasing to see a world in which axillary depilation has not yet become a norm!

She felt confident, strong, and completely and totally at peace.

The gardens were quiet, peaceful -- and in that moment only she and the statue were there. She stopped, arrested by the incredible serenity that embraced her in that timeless place.
