What now my love?

In the last weeks my country shakes. 
Refugees are coming and the nazis are on the rise again. 
Fire is burning and people are clapping hands with smile in their face. 
People who just arrived after a very long and painful journey get welcome like shit and not even the police is doing something again it. Even worse the police claim it's the refugees foult. 
But to be true. Europe is shaking. The fascist minds are on the rise everywhere. 
We stand on the age of a big change in life and history and what do people do and politic? They refuse to see, to act to take in. Thought all should know better that all this happening now is a result of the last years politic and habbits of the western world. It is even the result of not telling the whole truth after world war- the second. 
The warnings have been in the 90'tis and in the beginning of the year 2000. But why listen as it all seemed so far away and our life did not change to the bad. 
Now we are in a crisis. Thought they call it a refugee crisis, it is not. It's a crisis of politic and our point of view. Our expectations and the world we made up. This world is crashing down and of course as we never really cope with the possibility that this could happen, we stand with no real idea how to deal with this challange. And it is a challenge we all have to get through, no matter if we want it or not. 
But far to many still refuse to see the facts and the logic that just 2- 3 mill. people are changing their place. Europe has over 500mill people and declare itself out of order. What a mess! What have we done or better not done all the years that we say so?
Frightening it is but our focus should be on what is possible, what we want and what future we are going to create. It is actually a big chance now. 
Sadly the politic still likes the old way, the way of fear. Even massmedia is most focused on fear.

But back from big politic to the politic in your own country. What can we do? Stand up and go on the streets. Yes. Talk about it and use facts. Yes. Make the massmedia do focus on the lies and use facts and also to help people open their minds that extrem parties are not the choice of the hour. Instead we should choose to follow the heart. 

Sounds as you heard it once and it sounds like an idiot is telling you while being blind and will tell you only love, love, love is the answer, but you have the feeling that this never function..? 
Oh it is that simple with love but so hard to live up to. So what more can we do? 
Some help the refugees who are arriving from the sea. Some help them on the way to Europe. Some help them when they are here, waiting for a future to start for real. Some spend clothes and money and some give out food and work as a connecting part in communication between the new world and those who entered it. 
But others fear that Islam will destroy Europe. Some say the African will treat our women badly. They say Köln showed it but the truth is of all those who have been found from the police, of all the many, many mans, just 3 have been from outside Germany. Some claim they are among us and prepare for another attac and so they say that most of the refugees are criminal, thought the highest rates of criminals is among the far right wing and their sympathisants. 

Yes, it is time to talk crystal clear and not deny the problems and mistake we have and made. Yes, criminals are always to find. And yes they will come more refugees as we do not do anything to stop the wars in other countries and I mean also the war of money. 
But those who can read- know that. Like me. Question is, how to reach those who don't, who fall victime for the fascist mind? How do you reach someone who has fear without having a real reason? How do we wake them up if they don't believe in masspress (which I can understand..)? How can we lead them to open thier minds for facts and reasons and what they can do? How can we make them believe in politic, when they don't trust them but the far right? Even thought they are telling lies more then all the others. 
I have the feeling that blocking the demonstration of fascist is not enough. Making jokes about them is not enough and on the other hand, most will not understand those. 
I am sure there is not one way to deal with this situation and I have a hunch that we all must do a bit more then we are doing now. If we don't want history to repeat, it is up to us, the common people. Not waiting for the politic to see, we must tell them and already this crisis is managed most by those who do it for free. On one hand this is very hopeful, on the other it makes me having bad feelings as those who are the reason for the crisis can still say they do enough, they don't need to, they have time. 
But how to tell them and all those silent people that time is up. There is no time anymore! What we do now and decide now is our future. How do you want your future? Backwards or forward? 
To vote is still important but also to tell them damn politics that they have to work for the people again and stop working for the lobby. 
How clear must the situation be that those people see? And how crystal clear must it be that all those silent people stand up? 
I'm not saying no one does. Grateful we can be that there are in fact people waking up and going on the streets and shout out- Stop. It's time for worldpeace, love and respect. It's time to fulfill the change which our grandfathers and mothers started. It's time for true equality and a new way of living together. But it is also time to stand up in your family. Discussion are needed and feeding each other with facts. Searching for ways to be with each other without fear and hate. 
But it is still not enough! We need more. Make the brainstorming with friends and find ways to call out for the right direction. Think outside the box again to find what we can do to get this crisis in a good and happy future. We need to. Old ways are out of question now. Find new ways. Find new hope and find yourself. 
Tell others what you found out and what your ideas are, because many have the same feeling. 
THERE MUST BE MORE. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING STRONGER. 
These days, I am thinking about that. Trying to figure out something better, stronger. Outside the box. Let's help each other in this. 

LOVE & LIGHT

The gardener

Some of my near and dear say a gardener has passed my way- meaning, am I doing the right job?
Well, I am good at my job and like the work but it is true, it's no big love and so I am not missing the work, when I have my days off. But doing some things in the garden, with plants and flowers I always miss it when I don't have the chance to do so. 
I love to work with them and could be there for hours and one of my dreams still is a little house and a big garden and I am very sure that I could survive this way. Thought I am not professional and just reading a book about gardening once in a while. 
I just do and watch and learn that way and seems to have a good hand with it. 
No, it does not always grow the way I hoped for but that is the way it is for a gardener to see, which plant likes which place and what can you do to make it better, more beautiful and it is absolutely a never ending story as you start each year anew and a garden, even a balcony is never finished. But like the most gardener and hobby gardener we know this is part of what we enjoy. Have the plants survive? What about a new combination of plants and do they like each other this year? Have I bought a good plant and will this seed grow and how fast, how much, how big?
Actually if the GDR was still in existence I had no other choice then to become a gardener as I am handicapped and so we only had a couple of jobs we were allowed to learn and practice. Yes, we were second hand citizen. We have been good enough for the worst job and the stupid one. 
But having grown in a time when it was normal to have a garden to plant vegetable, fruits and herbs, I have learned by my grandmother a big deal how to maintain a garden. 
I guess in the next years I will finally have my own garden as going from balcony to roof garden makes it very likely to make this dream come true. 
And then I will always see the little beauty inside a garden, between the leaves, the branches like you can see on the following pics. And if you look closer you'll see that there is always a little changing.
Enjoy and if you like write me your experiences and thoughts about gardening. 
Love & Light

Make a break!

Yes, that what was needed as I started a new job and had very much to do and get used to.  Working at a new place is mostly exhausting and in nursing and leading a group too it sure is. But after all it went well but gave me also much to think about what do I want and to remember that patience is important until you are really used to the new working place. Expectations are always high, especially when you're not the youngest. In the same time I just had moved and got used to a new lifestyle, as I used to live alone.
Living in Berlin is always a challenge and as things there always change, so your own impressions and feelings. But it is very interesting for me to see how much my own view on the town has changed in the last years and how far away I got and the result is that I am going to move to another town and place in the next years. Not sure when this will happen, as I just start to make my B.A. in medicine.
The new situation also made me think twice about working in Sweden again and then make it like a half year there and a half year stay in Berlin. But then it would be just to study and live and no work.
But as love life seems to work I also have to think about what happens with us...? Will he come with me? Where does he wants to live? 
Lucky as I am, he also wants to move away in the next years. Not now but in the future. But will it be Sweden? I am not that sure as he never was in Sweden himself and so when I made my break and traveled back to Gothenburg and visited my friends and second family I tried to see and find new things and ways to look at this place I knew. 
Some places do really look very similar to places in Germany and maybe just the roof is different. In town they build a lot these days and so you can discover a new tram line and again that old and new are mixed and next to each other. Also it is something special to have an amusement park in town you'll see when you come from outside Gothenburg by highway.
It is for sure much quieter to live in Gothenburg as in Berlin, thought it can be very lonely too there. And I don't know but I am a bit over the way of living in Berlin and ready for a live with less stress- or better less negative stress. 

Summer in Sweden can be very nice and of course visiting the islands is a must, as there it is really beautiful and peaceful to take a walk. But don't wonder if you won't be the only one.

I saw many friends on these three days and had some wonderful conversations. It always feels like home. And this break was appreciated as it seems I had worked such a long time- thought it was not that long ago that I started the new job. But then I am sure part of the need was, the so called wanderlust and that I was already so over Berlin. I do not feel home any longer there. 

Now I feel much better and hope you can enjoy my pictures and get an idea how wonderful it can be. This town has culture, food, ways to walk, nature and sun and even nice people living there. It is a bigger town as you may imagine and calm but not to calm after all- a bit traffic is always going on. 
Love & Light
first day I arrived late afternoon to have dinner with my dear colleague

second day I started with waiting in the bus station and enjoying the luck of sun and warm weather

in town and around you'll find those big rocks... actually they are no rocks it's what the ground is made of in many parts - stone

the blue bus who always brings me to town as I used to live at my second family in Landvetter and I do really love them

tram and buss stop - Brunsparken- in the centre of Gothenburg

I did well mention some things seems familiar...


a look to the centre from the river... or better from a bridge over the river

just on the other side the harbor and the new tram line


the opera house and the "lipstick" a office block

like I said- old and new next to each other

marine ships next to the harbor
