I am a Silent Companion of the Soul.
I aim to share deep reflection, tranquility, and joy with others through my eternity-inspired creative work.
Some time ago, I was asked what I do
June 10, 2025
After hearing this question, I stood frozen for a moment.
I felt like I couldn’t express myself through a job title, as our society so often expects.
But this question will come up again. So, how should I answer? What am I doing?
This question was asked by a kind landlord, Hilda, during my few-day trip to the North Sea, while I was staying in her rental, De Indiaan. I didn’t know how to answer. My old job had ended, and the new one hadn’t fully taken shape yet.
So, out of habit, I first said that I’m a yoga teacher and online creator. But honestly, I had to add that I had finished all my work a few months ago, and the new work was still in the process of being created. But I couldn’t express myself clearly about what I was doing - not yet.
I was no longer the person I used to be. (Maybe I’ll write about it someday, but now is not the right time.)
I was in a phase of rediscovery.
An unfortunate situation had shaken my life, causing my world to collapse like a house of cards and ultimately clearing the way for a new era.
All I knew was that if I still had to live life on this Earth, I only wanted to live from the heart, from the soul.
It didn't take long, and an old friend of mine asked me the exact same question. Others have been asking it too, which is understandable. It’s just a little hard when I want to share something from my heart but haven’t yet found the words.
So what do I do?
I live.
I am alive.
I breathe.
Every morning I greet a new day, I choose how to spend it, and at night I go to sleep.
Like everyone else.
I no longer distinguish between work, vacation, weekdays, weekends, colleagues, or friends. Everything feels the same, it all directly belongs to the life I live with my loved ones. I seek good energy, friendship, and love
in it. But to have that, I need to create harmony
for it to be possible at all.
But honestly, in our fast-paced, stressful society, where many people live under pressure and faces clear expectations, it’s almost impossible. But that doesn't interest me anymore.
Because real life means more
than the fleeting one artificially created, which prefers not to see, hear, or perceive.
And so,
I look with my soul through my eyes,
listen with my soul through my ears,
enjoy scents with my soul through my nose,
taste with my soul thanks to the taste buds on my tongue,
and feel with my soul - not only through my sense of touch
but also through the inner sense that connects us to the magic of life itself.
This is what I do.
I seek the warmth of the heart and find the beauty of our world that brings joy.
Or I create it, if I can.
And I share this Good onward.
This is exactly what I do.
But I also still
do energy work and teach yoga.
I continue to love taking photos, writing, and creating.
I’ve started traveling again, not only physically to various beautiful corners of our Mother Earth and its inhabitants but also inwardly and through the astral realms, following shamanic paths.
All of this is an integral part of my daily life; it is both my work and my being.
Of course, there are other nice and important things... I spend time with my soulmates, go out into nature, do sports, clean, take care of the household, cook, and read… basically, everything that belongs to everyday human activities. But in the text above, for this article, I’m now focusing more on what a person typically sees as “work“.
So how should I answer?
Who am I, and what do I do?
Truly, I am a soul that lives deep within me.
I want to seek out and share the everyday beauty that surrounds us
- the kind that brings joy to our lives.
In ordinary words,
I am a Silent Companion of the Soul.
I am an artist, a traveler, a yoga teacher, and a life explorer.
Through my eternity-inspired creative work,
I aim to share deep reflection, tranquility, and joy with others.
For some
time, I couldn’t find the answer to that question because of sadness and changes in my life. But sometimes, we just need to take time to absorb the things that happen to us. To process them on a body, mind, and soul level before moving on.
It is necessary to be true to yourself. Living a better life requires finding belief in life.
I am ready to experience happiness, wonder, and gratitude in every new day. By doing something that feels bigger than myself, I am a part of it, whether I want to be or not, because life just happens. C’est la vie.
And now, that question "What do I do?" has been answered.

Offline, just eating, drinking, sleeping, watching nature and animals, and walking barefoot on the beach, even into the cold sea. That was all my days held - nothing more. And they were such beautiful days.
