de Kantelcast / the Key Moment Podcast

Yesterday I completed my +2400 kilometer bike ride to Santiago de Compostela. It was a trip inside, because I just did not meet a lot of people in these COVID-times. I guess it was just to early for that in a World that is recovering from this crisis.
So, I wandered the street of this Monumental Town. I passed by Saman, who was playing his guitar and singing songs from Senegal.
Today we met again and he gave me 15 minutes of his time.
One World. We need to come together. I give you something and you give me something in return.
Guys like Saman, they make your day. A bright shining light in the crowd. I interupted him at the end of his song and then, with the most brightest and open eyes, he looked at me and gave me his closing lines with a bright smile. It was a Key Moment for me today.

Being away from home for more then two months gives you opportunities.
Opportunities to meet people you never met. And become friends.
How having to change tables in a restaurant makes you meet people that can change your life.
That's how we met Jean Francois Karst and Estelle Manoury. Just by changing tables in a restaurant.
Jean Francois is an artist, a painter and Estelle is the co-owner of the camping La Parenthèse.
We became friends. Instantly.
This Podcast is about Jean Francois and Estelle. A Podcast on how Art can change your life. On how Tinder and Love can change your life. On how Teachers can change your life.
Everybody can be an Artist.
I included a song for this wonderful couple. Song Bird. A song played and sung by Judy Blank. An amazing singer-song-writer and friend from The Netherlands. For Estelle. For Jean Francois.
The poem in this Podcast, recorded by Estelle, was distracted from the works of Edmond Rostand , who wrote the play Cyrano de Bergerac in 1897. For Jean Francois.
It's about Love. It's about this Podcast. It's hopefully about You.
Coup de Foudre.

Rebellion - an act of armed resistance to an established government or leader
Cello - a bass instrument of the violin family, held upright on the floor between the legs of the seated player
Busker - a person who performs music or other entertainment in the street or another public place for monetary donations.
Virtue - a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person
Love - an intense feeling of deep affection
Brilliance - intense brightness of light
Imagine, you are walking through Central Park in New York. Walking towards Winterdale Arch. You hear distant sounds, mystic music, played by Baroque Barbie. And you get to talk with her. An extra-ordinary busker from this Center of The World. If you listen carefully, it can be life changing. Rebellion is a Virtue.

Welcome to this new episode of the Keymoment Podcast. This time Harry speaks to you from Bucharest. This is a country we have been traveling to with groups for years. Participants who have experienced this trip never complain once they return home. Of course, homelessness feels just as lousy and miserable in Amsterdam, just as well, in Bucharest it's a slightly different story.

In this episode, Harry speaks with Ian Tilling, also known as the Crazy Englishman. Fate can give your life the strangest turns. Something like that happened to Ian. He has been living and working in Bucharest for years. It's not a choice. He had no choice. Casa Ioana is a special place. A residential facility where people can return back to themselves. Back to the person they were before they became homeless, with endless and valuable lived experience.

We hope you will share this podcast with your friends, your family, your collegues. It’s important. Homelessness is widespread and it does not discrimate. It can happen to everybody.

You can find Ian Tilling on YouTube. Watch this special video on why he moved to Romania and the wonderful work he is practicing in this beautiful city. I love Bucharest at Christmas. I don’t know another city that has that many Christmas light in the world. Is it a contrast watching the lights and the homeless people out on the streets? Yes, it sure is. But knowing that Samusocial, Casa Ioana and Ian Tilling watch over them is comforting, there is always hope.

Louis Puggaard Muller, a singer song writer from Denmark, living in Amsterdam is joining this group from the Netherlands. As a bonus and a present for Ian, we give you this wonderful song. So don’t shy away from this recording, keep listening.

Rage against the machine. Dat waren de eerste woorden die in mij opkwamen toen ik Anke Jansen over het waarom van Housing First hoorde spreken. Er zijn vele redenen waarom hulpverleners en dakloze mensen kiezen voor Housing First. Een overweldigend gevoel van onrechtvaardigheid voor de ongelijkheid in onze wereld. Het gevoel dat je op een plek bent aanbeland waar je niet thuishoort.

Ik ga niet iedereen over één kam scheren, maar we kunnen er niet omheen: veel hulpverleners zijn ongelukkig. Ongelukkig omdat zij zich, net als de cliënten die zij begeleiden en behandelen, opgesloten voelen in een systeem waar de uitgang moeilijk te vinden is. Opgesloten in een betrekking waarin je niet jezelf kunt zijn.

Dakloosheid grijpt om zich heen. We weten wat we moeten doen. We hebben het al eerder gedaan. Als jij denkt dat Housing First iets voor jou is, luister dan eens naar deze korte podcastafleveringen die ik de wereld instuur. Housing First is er niet alleen voor dakloze mensen. Het is ook bedoeld voor positieve gezondheidswerkers. Het maakt je gelukkig. Het zorgt ervoor dat je het juiste wilt doen.

Ik wens je herkenning, bevestiging en vreugde terwijl je luistert. Deel ze met jouw netwerk, je familie, je vrienden, je collega's.

De muziek met de naam Keymoments in deze Keymoment Podcast is gecomponeerd door Phil Meds, een coole muzikant uit Haarlem Town.

Dank aan Anke Jansen, voor een helder, eerlijk en authentiek betoog. Housing First is het beste antwoord op verontwaardiging dat er is. Het lost dakloosheid op, zo eenvoudig is het.
