Welcome to Big Little Stories - little stories with big meaning for all ages.
Life can be confusing for all young chameleons. But especially for Leon the Chameleon.
Since he was little, Leon’s eyes have been stuck looking sideways, so he can’t see himself and never knows what color he is. Others are constantly telling him what he should be…blue, green, orange…but they contradict each other and change their minds. How can Leon find out his true color?
Leon’s Color Crisis is a story about discovering our authentic self amid the noise of the world.
I warmly recommend the charming tale about the adventures of Eddy the Whirlpool.
The story unveils two timeless truths: that reality is a single, infinite and indivisible whole; and that happiness can be found in the understanding that we essentially are that reality. This is the simple joy of being.
Hi, I'm Gijs!
I spent many years working in science and running my own tech startup. Building a successful business was my whole focus—until I realized something essential was missing.
My search for deeper answers led me to explore traditions like Advaita, Mahamudra, and Christian mysticism. Across all of them, I kept finding different expressions of the same idea: Nothing is truly separate from anything else.
This insight shifted my perspective on life and sparked an unexpected new direction: I began writing stories to remind myself—and others—of what really matters in life.
I hope you enjoy reading these books as much as I enjoy writing them!
