The Quiet Compass
for Jeroen Demure
He speaks in lines, not tangled threads,
Where others shout, he walks instead.
A measured word, a thoughtful gaze,
A mind that sees through shallow haze.
In Hague's embrace by sea and stone,
He charts the world but stands alone—
Not lonely, no — but self-defined,
A quiet storm, a sharpened mind.
He asks not loud, but deep and clear:
"What do you see when I appear?"
And in that space, a mirror stands,
Reflecting truth from careful hands.
No need for show, nor crafted veil,
He lets the deeper currents sail.
A man who cuts through all the noise,
To find the stillness thought employs.
So if you meet him — pause, be still.
He listens first, then speaks with will.
And when he does, you'll understand:
There's wisdom in the understated man.
Personal Oath
Be without fear in the face of your opponents.
Never yield to violence and threats.
Be brave and upright, so that all may cherish you.
May you always behold the light in the darkest depths.
Always speak the truth, even if it leads to your death.
Help those in need, without condition, judgment or distinction.
Be faithful to yourself and what you stand for.
Integer and loyal, protect and do no harm.
"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient." — Anne Morrow Lindbergh
