Zoë Joncheere (1973-07-29) was 34 when she decided (or life decided for her) that it was time for a change. She gave up her life and business in town and moved to the hills in the South of Dutch speaking Belgium (Flemish Ardennes). Besides being a mother she was still searching for the big plan and the ultimate goal in her life, but whatever she did, she felt she never arrived at what it really means to live. ‘And I so much longed for that, as if I was in some temporary state of being and real Life was about to start somewhere in a near future.’ She decided to give up all her plans and ideas about the next thing to do. She had also come to the point where it became crystal-clear that all her ideas about herself, the others and the world , were nothing more than thoughts in her head: Fiction, something to laugh at, but nothing real. So there she was: no more plans and no more beliefs; completely open to being Nothing. And when she woke up in the middle of that fateful night, she thought: Living as God. She bursted out laughing, saying: Nothing so simple! It all becomes so simple when you are open to being Nothing. That’s when you become free and allow Life to find you. In her case, Life wanted her to write this book. She started the next morning and three weeks later the book was written. She doesn’t see any personal merit. ‘I was just available. Life just wanted to use me to write this book. I wasn’t working, I was reading the text my hands were writing. And I liked it. Luckily enough, it also contained some humor. All by itself the book found its Dutch publisher, and a lot of Dutch readers (which means The Netherlands and half of Belgium). And Life brought an excellent translator (really amazing how this was organized). And now the book starts its worldwide journey. Zoë keeps on allowing life. That means more writing. Fiction this time. ‘I love stories! Oh, yes. And Fiction, off course, besides, there is nothing else but fiction. True stories just don’t exist. Nothing is true. And stories are for fun. And really, God would rather read a good novel than another spiritual manual (about nothing after all).
