Sotchi

Say something, I'm giving up on you.... 
Well, I may be tired, but giving up is never a choice on my way through this live.
And today I try to bring up some thoughts for the finishing of the Olympic games. 
One is a line I read: Only the thinking person changes their mind. 
And another one I remember is that only the brave will change the world. Although you don't need to be brave like in a movie or a fairy tale, but thinking, seeing and trying to get as near to the truth is important when you want to stop being blind by choice.
So Sotchi. 
Is over now and if you where not to blind you saw a big shadow over the games.
Many shadows actually. Some have not the reason in Sotchi, like the "war" in Ukraine. But others are to find on other places too. Like how you treat human kind and human dignity by being blind.
Yes the competition where as usual, fine, and great and also we had our drugs addicts. 
The show was going on as usual but then not as usual. Things have changed. 
You cannot be proud about wasted money to corruption. You can not be happy about people not getting their salary for the hard work they did. You cannot shine when you are not ready with the most buildings. And absolutely you cannot be happy by taking the sports man and women into a dirty game of politic. 
The IOC has sold the best they have to nothing. 
Cos what is the victory worth they got? 
Like nothing.
Because you cannot show love, cannot show empathy, cannot show life as it is- colorful and different. Because we are all different, we are all human, and in this special matter we are the only animal who knows homophobia, transphobia and so on. 
In next to every race you find homosexual habits and this never harm anyone. 
No other animal is killing his brother, sister or whatever just because he loves the same sex. 
No other animal then the human race beats each other for just the reason you think different, love different. 
No other animal then the human race claims the happiness is in danger because of homosexual feelings. 
The human race is the only stupid one. 
In that case... ( and some others..)
This is or could be a scary thought, couldn't be?
But how can you say something is unnatural, when it is exactly that... NATURAL.. or as we say it these days: When did you chose to be heterosexual? Cos if being gay is a choice, so is being heterosexual.

So to know a truth is easy. To tell truth is much more. But to understand and live the truth a challenge and to take the truth is the hardest way. 
Yes I know that first you'll be ignored, then laughed out and then be tried to fight back, before you can just live. 
That's what gays and lesbians, trans and intersexual people want. 
Just live a life without fear, danger and with the same right to kiss, hold hands, talk about it and so on. 

Forget telling me the lines from the bible, we all know them but also all the other lines and maybe you know what them means... and by the way, if you show me them, do you live by them yourself... bet not. Anyway.
Forget telling me about traditional marriage, because if you did your homework, you knew that there is no such thing. 

So this Sotchi is a start to think about, first- where to let the games start, second- how big and important human dignity should be, and then where has the love gone?!
Because if this is all about money- and just now it is, then it should be dead.
Blinding people by sport is nothing new, but telling them hate is the new truth is simple a waste of money and so we give out a waking call into the world, cos it seems sometimes, that the worst situation collects the most people in front of the TV. How can you watch games painted in blood? 
You are less weak then you are lazy and being stupid by choice.
So...
Love is the reason we came together in Berlin to show respect, strength and power and to talk to people, to show them, to make them see. 
Love is the reason why people tell us how they secretly live together for 40 years. 
Love is the reason why we hear stories from russian tourist about sexual abuse and how this is used to take you into prison, letting you get raped and then throwing you out being an outcast. 
Love is the reason why we show the videos from russian Nazis how they harm young people just because they may be gay. 
Love is the reason why we talk about places in the world where you get killed because hate lead people to the conclusion you're not worth a damn and therefore you should be killed. 
Love is the reason why we can tell that all this may be in the name of religious but never in the name of Jesus, God or Love itself. 

I can understand, if you don't understand the way of life of another people but this should never be a reason to beat, harm, kill, abuse and forbid others to talk about. 
So...
Love is the reason why we try our best to show to those who are in fear, in situation with darker shadows then we have in our own country, that we don't look away, that we still are on to trust into, relate too and we are still in a fight for a positive, loving future, all around the world.
The drum beats will never end before love is acceptable for all.

Peace is what we all want- well most of us, if you are less selfish as some... 
Love is all we need and want and can get and even give, but only when we let lose of hate, of being blind by choice, of being stupid by looking away.

So.... giving hope is a choice we made and will make again and again.. spreading Love, the fire of colors, the chance of happiness in each and everyones live...!

Somewhere over the rainbow and beyond and behind there is not only a blue sky, there are birds which fly, so why shouldn't we? 

LOVE & LIGHT


--> and here are the pics of our last come together at the rainbow flame... yes we stood there day and night 24 /7 - all the 16 days of Sotchi, all the 15 nights...  more people then expected came and here we can shine a light, hope and send you all around the world a thought of a helping hand.... and we talked, showed and protected, no matter if it did rain, shine, or stormy wind blowed around our nose... thanks to everyone who stood up, helped making this happen... thanks to all the hearts and souls... thanks to all the love and light... thanks... enough is enough, stop homophobia and Love is not for propaganda.. Love is for free and the open minded.... stop being blind, stop looking away... breath and talk... say something good, say something loving..

somewhere over the rainbow...

 the skye is blue

where happy little birds fly

So fly with us... fly , fly high... fly with love and into the light... let the shadows pass by.... :-)

The Lorax - a movie

Now again about a film I saw. Actually I saw this movie when I had a long flight.
So just tried it and was not really surprised but neither mad about it.
The movie is a bout a young boy, growing up in a world which seems to be nice and good and everything just is good. He then tried to find out what it is behind this holy world, after he did something for a girl. 
So he climbed the walls and came back. Of course he could not be hidden for to long with his secret, but he doesn't give up going back to where the other world is. A world behind the wall. A very different world and there he meet the Lorax. A figured who once played a game which went wrong. 
The boy want's to know why and so he is not giving up asking. The adventure begins.

It's a fantasy film, a film for children and grown ups. It's easy, nice, funny and even creamy. Why? Well watch it and you'll understand. 
True, this movie is not that special, but worth it's time. Like a sweet thing you can eat. 
It's very hollywood, but not to corny. More a warm story.
So something for the afternoon, or lazy tea time. 
Something to sitt and watch with the whole family.
Something to get a smile.
And something to remember that there is always a chance to start anew, to begin again, to change what went wrong.
Which you a happy hour and...

LOVE & LIGHT

workin' monday through friday....

I just read an article about being reachable for your work all day long and how some companies have started to try to Change that.
Yes, those -let's be reachable all the time-, by mail and phone has become a big part and problem for many people.
We feel it is not healthy to think 24 hourse the day of our work. 
As much we may love it to be flexible and being part of the working team, we need our private time and time to rest, to think about other things.
It is not only a problem, when you have a family. Also as a single it can make your life unworthy, stress you out and bring you to the point where you start asking yourself- is it all really worth it?
Of corse most CEO don't think about that much, cos they have to be reachable all day long, even on holiday. 
We have become so use to this, that we forgot, that we are humans, not machienes.
Some companies in Germany have started around three, four years  ago to change the  habits of their Company.
Though it started through the "unions", it became more and more a success and policy of the work, to not interfere your holiday, to not send you e-mails after work, or when you're on holiday. They even use programs which can take away the e-mail and send it to someone who is on duty.
Sounds like a good start and now some people in politics have spoken out for making a law about the right to get your freetime. 
The reactions from other companies where like, they all work like this already, they don't need this.
Well, which it would be true.
Actually, just now such a law would be quite a good idea, even know, that this will be a challange to control, but those 24/ 7 thing has gone much to far. 
Just alone when I think about nursing, where many, far to many are expecting you to be reachable all day long, to be flexible no matter what, to drop your holiday and work instead, to work over hourse, no matter how tired you are.
You even get beat when you are not doing it or seemed to fail. We have mobiles next to us when we sleep for your call and then people call for nothing and never think about that you work in the day and need your rest and sleep. Your family won't be happy hearing a ring in the middle of the night for you. 
And then you won't get money for being there all the time. 
If you're lucky they give you time but when to take it, no one knows, cos mostly, there is no time left when you work as a nurse, a doctor or something similar in this area.
This is just an example. 
So what have we become to do this?
Why are we not changing this faster and harder?
Fear. It is. Mostly and not knowing that you have to fight for your own rights.
To many did this without saying no. The warnings where laughed out. Now we are in trouble, but have so hard to change not only the way we work, also what we expect of others. 
Our trust in life is less then two generations before. 
Yes anything can happen, bad and good, but we can't be there all the time for everyone. Call it faith or whatever, even though sometimes it's hard to take a situation but life is not getting easier this way or better or saver. 
Trust in life again. Take it as it comes. Even if it brings you big challenges.
How can you think that your life depends on other people? It only depends on you!
Make it or leave it, but stop telling other people are to blame.
Think about it and maybe  we come together to change the habit that we must have to be reachable 24 hourse.
 
LOVE & LIGHT
 

Fuck off Nestle!

This is one of the big companies you should try avoid buying products from. 
Why, well like Ferrero their are into many bad things and some of these are destroying our nature. But to stay with Nestle, so did the CEO tell very clear to the world that he thinks water is no human right.
Oh no, their are not the only one who thinks that way. Many right politics think the same and many companies will have it very easy to agree.
They sell water bottles all over the world. And of course they want to make sure that this will get more and bigger in the future. 
But shouldn't it be a human right to get free access to water? 
I think it should, because we all need it. Our body can't live without water. 
Well they say like gas, oil and like this, water is coming from the nature and so they can expect you to pay for it but what they don't say is, that we can live without oil, gas and so on... but water is an elementary part of each live. 
To make money with it, means make money out of life and therefore you rule over life. You as a seller are the reason why someone will die or not, because if you can have access to water or not is in many parts of the world a question of money and of course education, but poverty makes it hard to get the right education. And when you have not enough to drink no education will be able to conquer.
Yes we pay for sparkling water which is collected from sources and then they ad the "bubbles".
They say it is better and healthier then the water from the sea... Mostly it is, but the truth is bigger. It would be better and help your health if this collecting was not a big industry, cos then the water would be taken softly not like a rocket. But everything must go on speed and so all the good stuff inside gets lost and broken. It is just water with not much inside. Then the water from your crane home is better. Tests have already shown this the last years in germany. But of course not everywhere it is like that. Clean water is sometimes hard to get and sometimes you have so much chlorine inside, that you'll better not drink it. 
So now you could say paying for clean water should be o.k. and I agree for that, in particular that we have put in the water so much garbage and toxic things. But I think, everyone should pay for everyone. 
We all need it, we all should pay. And access should be free and it should never be a private company to deal with water politics. Making profit of water is like killing people. So that's why I am fighting for the right for water for everyone. Yes not all can pay the same fee, but we are all in this together. Also we can make easy sure that each gets clean water. We must wake up to see the lies those big companies telling us that this is so expensive. It is not and will never and actually it is more easy to do, just education, science and everyone together. 
Making profit with water and telling therefore it is no human right means killing people slowly just for the sake of money.
Water is no luxury, it is something we all need. Rich and poor. Black and white. Tall or little. 
So that makes it more shameful to say that the politics who should stand for the people mostly stand for the big industry and so they prefer to kill their own people then take it to what it should be. 
A project of the world population, to keep up together, free and easy. 

No profit is pro life!

Make Love and lose the hate

That is maybe the most important thing in live. 
To love and let the hate go. 
Hate is just a sign of how week you are, how less you use your mind and soul and heart, how less you are, how deep you sit in shit. 
Yes some people think hate is such a powerful and strong instrument to keep up with, cos it brings fear and joy to you, the one who is beaten up another one and it gave you the feeling of being more worth, being stronger and better, but guess what..?!... and you know it deep inside you-  YOU ARE WEAK. 
A strong person never need to beat up someone, never need to bring fear, never need to arrest someone who just love another human, never need to claim wrong things as reasons for his actions.
If you are strong and true, then corruption is something you never need. 
If you live by your heart and not blinded by some folks, then you never need to kill an animal without need.
If you are smart, you never need to keep a child from having parents, no matter where they come from, as long as they love and care for you.
If you are taking words serious that we are equal, then you never need to push a women down, or a child or a disabled or someone with another religious believe or skin color.
If you are someone who claims to live the words of Jesus Christ, then you never need to beat a man or a women because they love who they love, cos love the man next to you, like you love yourself. 
Love is Love and if you put hate in in, then you are the one I think we have to call pity and sad and stupid.
Although in each of us there is love put in the heart from the beginning and hate is a learned thing.
To hate is learned. No child hates. It learns how to hate. It learns fear and fear makes hate. Fear makes blind and blind people have mostly closed eyes and forget to learn and think by them self and listen to their heart. 
It's much like this. 
Cos love will never destroy your marriage, the mankind or your children. 
Cos a gay man will never abuse your child and is worth his life and love.
So why beaten him up, just because he loves. 
He is born that way, and if you are heterosexual you are born that way too or did you made that choice? When, how and did you try the other side? 
It's natural, it always was part of this world, no matter if your human or an animal.
Why are you so afraid of sexuality...? Is it to keep an blind eye on your own situation, which is bad and your own fault.
Yes, I am so sorry, but you are the reason for the bad situation in your country as a human and it has nothing to do with your sex, with who you love and where you're from.

Dear Russians I respect people in general, but nevertheless I am very sad about some laws you have, sad about how you waste money to corruption, how you let human rights killed by your man and am so sad to see and hear how you go on beaten yourself, hurting yourself instead of making it stop, breath and think calm what to to, how to make it better, how to make it more shiny and brighter. 
Instead you kill, you beat, you hate and even you as a reader are not doing it exactly - did you tell something to your people to make it better? Did you say stop? Or did you just say it is all not that bad and the gays fault and other countries should not talk about your problems?
Well the LGBTI Community knows it very well what is going on and feels very well in their own heart what is going on in Russia, because we all have been going through this. That's why we keep up on the fight.

Yes it is not only in Russia people are becoming Nazis again. 
I remember very well the rising in other countries. But also I do remember how you started right after '89 to throw out the WolgaDeutschen, then the Jews and then the black and so on and now you have found the gays. They seem so weak, so easy to be beaten, the reason for your problems but you know it very well, there are not. 
Keeping a blind eye on your countries problems by killing gays won't help you to not drown in your own shit. 

And God will never love you for this, cos remember hate is the devils part. 

So that's why we go on the streets and light a rainbow flame. Cos we are all of different colors and the Olympic was in it's idea about peace, friendship and love. 
You betrayed the Idea, the love, the friendship, the sportsman, the children and your own future. 
Your Olympic is a sign of black shame. 
So shame on you. Shame on the IOC. Shame on Putin. Shame on all those who are in silence, because you let it happen and therefore you are part of this black and dirty game. So sorry to tell you this. 
And I know not everyone thinks the same in Russia. 
I know the industry doesn't care about people. 
I know the politics mostly even don't care about human rights.

But I know that I still keep on believing. 
I still keep on believing that the future can be made better. 
I believe that people can learn and be true to them self.
I believe we have a lot good in our baggage but also we have a way to go.
I believe that human rights should be the same for all people on this world, no matter where you are.
I believe that hate will kill yourself and cause hurting to all the people around you and you will pay a high price for it.
I believe and know it from my work, that when you are going to die, the hate will keep you maybe alive but for the price of pure pain and you will regret it so deeply if you never lived up to making peace.
I believe that you have to forgive yourself for the hate you lived but as hard this is, it is possible, but for this, you have to SEE and CHANGE into living a life in Love.

And I believe in Love.

LOVE & LIGHT

we are with our hearts by your side.... no one should be harmed just because he loves someone else

there is also a song called "Love is not for propaganda" on i tune to buy and every cent will be given to the LGBTI groups in Russia to fight for their rights to love
