De Guitelaar

She emerged from the stones at Molenstraat 10. De Guitelaar, a small, energetic little creature. She brings you light—literally, but also figuratively. She lifts your spirits during happy moments. She gives you that CLICK you feel when you laugh out loud. That CRACK when you cheer and shout together. Or that GLOW when she comforts you with a soft radiance.

With her poem about De Guitelaar, village poet Margot Kuijpers wants to remind people that there’s always a little light inside you, a faithful companion through both happy and sad moments. And here’s the special thing: you can pass Guitelaars on to others. They feel right at home in casual chats on the street and in unexpected winks. Warm yourself with these glowing lines, feel enlightened, and reflect: which CLICK, CRACK or GLOW moment from the past year has stayed with you?
