The day started rather misty! What will this chapter bring us? Due to the mist we could not see very far in the future. In the afternoon, in the opening Eucharist, there was a bowl with water, symbolizing the one source of the Spirit and our spirituality, from which we all live. Every chapter member was invited to put a little stone in the bowl of water, in order to bring movement into the water. Our source should not remain dead water, but living, streaming water. Moving in ever wider circles. When the turn came to Sr. Dionysia, she really throwed her stone in the bowl, with a loud tinkling and splashing. In doing so, she was, we think, gladly throwing away from herself her period as a member of general council! We thank her very much for the four years she fulfilled her tasks and wish her all the best for the future in Indonesia. The Eucharist was attended by a lot of sisters from Amersfoort. Beautiful! The bus with sisters of Amersfoort did not come in time, although the Ducth always say : "busje komt zo". In the evening we enjoyed a nice presentation of the participants of the chapter : the Indonesian, Malawian and Dutch delegation. And the end of the day Paulien, Thera and Lucidia played "canasta".
