Together, we hold one onion in our hands. Just as it is historically not exactly known where the onion originated from, we do not precisely know how we got it in our hands. We found each other in 2003 and the onion found us at the same time. It is a perfectly normal onion, the same as in anyone's kitchen. But it is ours and we are holding it together. That makes it special. It is the world in our hands. Every now and then we pull back a layer. The discoveries we make along the way, we like to share with the rest of the world. We hope it can make you cry or laugh together with us. Or beter still: we hope it has the power to make us meet in action, and ultimately to achieve stillness. With every layer we pull back, we get closer to the core. As slow as we possibly can, because nothing is better than holding the onion together.
