archives 01/08/2002 well. here we go - it was nice to see all the people (sofie!) after a while. having a rest, and slowly preparing for france. tommorow prague where i will stay by ufo+shakul and on saturday - viva la france! (uff.. hope it's correct.) our baltics 2002 travel book being prepared, but it takes yet some time. we have most of the photos - some of them are really beautiful (e.g. trakai castle)! and i want to put also some links, so i will yet search the net a bit. :) but that's all quite a distant future, now it's time for taizé... (i've sent at least 15 postcards and recieved... one. so please, do me a favour, send me a card, huh? the address is in the 'me' section.) (comments:1) 18/08/2002 well... it's quite late and there's so much to write. i'm now back in czech republic, tho not at home - by hanka in prachatice. we've arrived tonite from france. it was very very good and a huge experience. the 'taizé cross' i wear is only a minor change. i do hope, there have been some deeper changes. maybe i would even say, that i've found the hope again. back in .cz i'll be working tommorow in český krumlov - my favourite city, which is nearly destroyed by floods. too bad. so i'll arrive home monday morning and then there should be more time to write about our journey to france. till then. (comment?) 20/08/2002 i thought i would be able to write more, but today i was so lazy i only slept and managed to put some pages of the baltics diary into the computer. so what about france expedition? taizé is a place worth definitely a visit. 6000 people praising God, praying, discussing, having fun... they all seem to be just ok and you can really speak with everyone. i've met a lot of nice people from the whole europe. i have some more thoughts, i've been thinking of - but only on a paper, i'll put them online soon. it was great to share the ideas and experience with the other people. i do hope that the light i feel i can transmit to others :) that i'll be able to live simplier (guys, i've just deleted the windows games!), to be more open to the people... thank you all! (i will prepare the discussion board too, all should be ready till the end of the week). the situation in krumlov was bad, but in the north of the republic it's even worse. but the atmosphere in which we worked on sunday afternoon was great, everyone helping each other and it was somehow like the sins were taken away. i know it sounds strange and that there's a lot of people that have lost everything, their homes, all property... but somehow i ask myself, must there be such a disaster to make people feel solidarity and act kindly? isn't it possible in 'normal life' to help the others, to care? so i call it taizé afterparty... strange days, and a fear whether i'm strong enough to be better... God help us all. keep it up people. (comment?) 22/08/2002 thinking about going to spain for couple of weeks in september. would be useful to earn some money once again :] but before that i should finish some stuff - today i completed the baltics diary, now it's time to make a secent page, get some comments from the rest of the team and to (oh my god!) translate it for the english version (i'm already afraid of it!!!). i should also make something for my bachelor degree work. enjoy the sun, have a good time :) and btw. - if you have a chance, see the russian film 'brother' (.cz info) (as i did on tuesday). (comment?) 26/08/2002 some changes: no spain, i'm leaving tommorow (for a week) to help in northern bohemia (the area destructed by floods). i've made a page dedicated to taizé - and the people i've met there, have a look. also check new pieces of art made by danny on pismak. it's definitely worth.
