What's up?

Hi there, are you all woke? Woke, ahem, the new slogan mostly used by ‘modern’ let’s say ‘woke’ people.A phrase that’s being used more frequently than before .A kind of hip statement like “far out” or “cool” today your fear of missing out.(FOMO) is not using the word “woke”.Just like OK BOOMER Chlöe Swabrick's introduced this expression in New Zealand's parliament. She  belongs to the Green Party and silenced a fellow member of the U.K. Parliament by saying, "OK, boomer" – a phrase adopted by millennials to call out people from the baby boomer generation.also a new used phrase to express your lack of courtesy towards older, perhaps more wiser people. As far as I am concerned, a deadly remark to use for older people. With that you kill any substantive discussion and you evade your own responsibility, even if only out of politeness, to listen to the wisdom of the elderly. Lack of respect is also evident.Discarding an argument with the term OK BOOMER without entering into any further substantive discussion can indeed come across as a whole and be taken over by the generation of millenials, but you will never actually solve any problems with that. I consider it a result of the internet generation that no longer knows about eye to eye contact, that no longer knows how to read the expressions of fellow human beings because almost all of their communication goes through social media, in app groups of what's app and signal of telegram.No, rather than here in Narnia, where a message from the great emperor was always written on paper, rolled up and sealed with the seal of the high king himself. As soon as you saw that seal, you became well aware of the importance of the message it contained. You thought twice before you refused the messenger its door. Moreover, you treated that same messenger with all respect.So from now on, let's avoid "OK whatever" and let's relate to each other again, appropriate to our ages.Hail Aslan.Best regards to you allReepicheep Humble knight of the High King.

18th of october 2019 Reepicheeps diary.



Hi Folks, as knight of Aslan i always  wonder how mankind is overcoming sickness.
I mean we talking animals happen to fall ill from time to time and nature will take it's course.
The same happens to us all. Even noble knights of the High King Himself cannot escape from it.
As i was visiting the hall of knowledge ( the Bodleian library of my own home town) i stumbled upon this poem.


As on microscopical level 

chemo does its job all too well

Gods love is radiating  

even through the darkest corners 

of our fears  and  deepest doubts 

wish you well Dan

wish you well

you’re in my prayers

is all for now i just can tel


As on unsurpassed and spiritual level
His spirit does His job all too well
For past  and present and the future
He takes us by the hand
lead us through this barren land
even when we’re walking a thin line
you’re still in my prayers
as brother in christ
your pain is also mine
wish you well Dan
wish you well
1 cor 12 verse 26

I just wanted to share this with you all.


Hail Aslan,

Yours truly,

Reepicheep.

Reepicheeps  Diary, 15th of april 2019

In de void of His absence i realized that all i could do was watch and pray.
Waiting for His coming. While waiting showing me, like time itself, to be an earnest laborer.
Silently pondering on the questions yet unasked and unspoken.
Revealing my deepest secrets to Him in prayer. Leaving them there , laying down before His feet.
It gave me a sense of rest i must confess. Like confession with a priest.
It is a shame that priests however, so often has taken advantage of the vulnerability of those young confessors. I sincerely hope that the church. . .  I really hope the church will improve its actions in these matters. That there will be no longer sexual abuse of children,girls,nuns and that those responsible for it wil take action to stop this misconduct. Repent what they did wrong and seek redemption for their actions.
I mean the great emperor has clearly spoken about these matters. 
Even among talking animals, relationships are only permitted with respect for mutual personal boundaries. Taking the personal intimacy of the other person into consideration is the guiding principle. Not only following your instincts may be leading. After all, we are talking animals.
Even in the animal world there is no such thing as boundless freedom of action. There is always the whole that is more than the sum of its parts.
That is something that I have always held as a noble knight of the High King.
“There are things that only touch the surface, below that the soul stays the same and shines, like a pond on which leaves sail.People sing and listen to what it sounds like.” (Vasalis) I heard a poet say when i traveled through the land of Adam and Eve.
I have not stayed there long but long enough to witness the resilience of the people.
For now i wil close with some small wisdom talk from mr Tumnus himself.

“A four legged animal walking upright like a gentleman doesn’t mean a thing, as it disrespects the intimacy of others.”

Hail Aslan,

Introduction to the seven scrolls of Reepicheep

What's up?

The seven roles of Reepicheep were written eons ago.Even i had forgotten about them.This is just an excerpt from the introduction spoken by Tumnus at Lantern waste.
Tumnus speaksEvery now and then I am desperately looking for a good conversation. Come around again today. A really good conversation. Certainly here in Narnia. It was therefore a great relief when I met Eva’s daughter yesterday at the Lamppost in the clearing in the big forest.I invited her to drink a cup of hot tea in my cave and to my great joy she agreed.On the way to tea, I asked her about the purpose of her journey. Where is your journey going?And why did you stand by the lamppost there? "Did you wait for someone?""No, she said, I was suddenly in that place. I don't know exactly how it happened anymore but I was playing with others in the big house. I was hiding in the closet and suddenly there was no back and I fell in the snow in the fur coats. A little further on I saw the lamppost and I walked towards it and…. and then you suddenly came to me.In the beginning she told her hesitantly but gradually, once she was busy her story rolled out all at once. I didn't blame her. It will just happen to you that suddenly you are sucked into mine from another world and you also meet a talking faun who asks you for tea and then such a handsome copy as me. Hairy legs from hip to hoof and a big beard on my chin. The horns tough on top of my handsome head.In any case, a tough and masculine face that women should fall on, I thought so.But that doesn't matter, at least she was here and that was the main thing.We finally arrived at my cave and I opened the door for her. She went inside carefully. I pointed her to the chair by the fireplace. "Feel free to take a seat", I said, "in the meantime I will make tea. Do you want tea? ”I asked as I went to the kitchen to get water. "Yes, nice," she said. A moment later we sat comfortably by the fireplace. and this time I was not alone but had someone in front of me.I finally had a real conversation. I had longed for this for so many years.Shall I pour in? I asked, taking the cups out of the cupboard and putting them on the table in front of us. Yes she likes to answer with her fresh female voice.I poured her carefully and with care and asked if she wanted lemon in it or milk. No thank you she said and crossed her legs. There she sat, her hands folded and timidly awaiting what the next step would be. I could tell from everything that she was still astonished and still busy processing her sudden transition from wherever she had come to this cold white winter landscape Narnia.The hot tea did her visibly good and gradually the conversation and the consumption of another cup she thawed more and more.We spoke about The Melody that we all heard about the birth of Narnia. The Melody that each of us can still remember somewhere deep inside. Then we talked about the "absence" of Aslan and His second coming to the country.I really believe that He will come back someday, you know. I really hope that you believe that is true. In any case, it was wonderful to get a reply during the conversation. Finally, after being alone for so many years.As if I pricked a tree with my walking stick and at the same time could feel where I was and where the tree was. It was precisely this tension that had been missing for so many years now. Who for me could be the confirmation that I was alive, that I existed, that all this was not a bad dream. It was just delicious. I was just not alone anymore and it felt incredibly good.It was as if I was on the threshold of a new beginning, a new time that had begun at the same time.Although it was still winter and just as cold outside as ever. In the meantime we had a nice time inside by the fireplace and surrendered to the comfortable warmth of the fire, the tea and the good conversation.Just seeing her smile helped enormously. How easy can it be to feel happy with a few ingredients. A warm fire, a cup of hot tea and a person opposite you with whom you can have a good conversation. To meet the other because meeting is of course communication. And communication is a form of love or vice versa.That I had someone in front of me quickly became clear to me because she started asking me questions to which I also didn't immediately have an answer.Why it was always winter in Narnia. Why I could speak. Who was that Aslan that I always talked about?I have quietly taken the time to explain it to her. I tried to tell an honest story as well as possible about the history of my country, my people and what we stand for together. Finally tired of the extensive conversation and the information I had given her, she started yawning. I think you need to have a good night sleep, don't you?I think so, she said meanwhile rubbing her eyes, I am so tired now that I can sleep a hundred years.I showed her the guest room, the bathroom, and gave her what she needed to wash herself.She thanked me for the tea and the sleeping place and closed the door.I myself took a seat behind my desk to write the impressions of this day in my diary. Today I am a happy faun.Tomorrow after breakfast I want to introduce her to my friends in the forest.Heil Aslan.

Reepicheeps diary 28th of march 2019

What's up?


I never knew
that I can be so lost
I never realized
that I can keep looking like this
and still can't find it
I never thought
that  using the wrong map
takes me further and further away
of the loves in my life
that using  the wrong map
let me take more and more
give less and less
that using  the wrong map
shows me a way
but will never lead me back
to the house where I like to live.



Hail Aslan

Reepicheeps diary-march 2019

What's up?

Reepicheep’s diary it's about time! So mind the clock and watch it carefully!

White is fading in to grey
slowly going black
ultimately no colors will be visible
because of the darkness all around us.

It made me remember those days when here in Narnia everything was white. White because of everlasting winter.
The mountains were white, the trees of the forest were white, Lantern waste was white, no single color visible. We, speaking animals, could not distinguish colors because of the snow.
So in some way we had to be enlightened by something,something, or someone bigger, larger than life.
Luckily a miracle happened, sons of adam en eve came into our world and in doing so started fulfilling the long foretold prophecy. The great Emperor would send Aslan back to conquer the white witch.


Today there is a dark force an algorithmic darkness is spreading through the internet.
It brings out the worst in people.
 Before the internet even existed, some called it a sin nowadays we call it an algorithmic badness, a programmed darkness. Aimed at generating clicks and collecting data in order to sell the collected data to the highest bidder.
It’s about the same like what the white witch did back in our white days of winter.
But the big difference with that time is that today the link is made with artificial intelligence. In a little while the quantum computer will be introduced and as soon as it can make ethical decisions we will hand over our dillemas. After all, people have an unprecedented fear of taking responsibility. Ever since the initial fall in paradise, we have been doing nothing else than pointing at the other when we are addressed, or we are hiding behind properly following prescribed protocols. Everything to get out of our responsibility.
Social media brings out the bad in people. It is fear itself that paralyzes them. In response to half-truths or downright deliberately spun lies, we react unabashedly through social media.
I am very happy that we have no such thing as social media here in Narnia. We do have our channels through which we communicate, but they are mainly in the field of barking, crying, howling, whistling and very occasionally a written announcement.
Like this written page from my diary. I will try to publish more regularly in the coming period. I understand that your world, unlike that of Narnia, is currently in great need.
Climate problems, coincidentally quite the opposite of those we have been troubled with in Narnia for centuries, so you are suffering from heat that keeps rising. Add to that the overreaction on the internet and a certain boiling point cannot be delayed.
I don't want to leave you too sad so I close this day with a good joke.
What do you call a beaver without legs?
It doesn't matter, he won't come if you call him.



Hail Aslan.

Reepicheep avoiding social media

Hi, there, still visiting this blog every now and then? Searching for additions to my diary?
Well here is another piece. Reepicheep is still avoiding social media and i will explain to you why  in a minute.
For now i just want to wish every reader, visitor of this site a very healthy and prosperous 2019. I've missed the Christmas greetings this year for i was not able to publish before the 25th of december.
Sorry for that. But the great Emperor got my busy instead in another place to help out to people in need. And i mean people who are really in need for help.
But let's get back tot  the initial point i was trying to make. Avoiding Social media.
Well after several years, since the start of the world wide web I have discovered a strange phenomenon. The internet and especially the use of social media has turned out to be a safe heaven to al of us who just want to keep on complaining,swearing,insulting,trhethening as well as comment, mostly negative, on what other people publish. We have lost control over our own nuances. We are no longer able to act patiently to what other people write and tell about themselves.
In fact the internet has become a one way mirror and it shows the darkest side of mankind to the fullest. No self-control, people just pouring out more and more . It 's in fact a constant diarreah of words and bad language. Insulting and hurting the other without any consideration whatsoever.
We have become numb for the consequences of our own words. We just don't realize what our political incorrectness is doing to others.
So if i were you and you would be me follow my advice:! Leave social media right now!!!
You'll be astonished about how many time you will have then to visit real sites, deliberately chosen by yourself. 
Just do it, leave social media, stop twittering about, leave facebook, quit tumblr and all those other digital monsters who do nothing els than collecting data about your internet behavior and selling that to others.
Stop weaving a digital beast in the internet by voluntarily give up your privacy bit by bit.
I mean we know all that no one of us will take the time tot read privacy statements in full length just because they are deliberately written much too long.

HAIL ASLAN!
