International Day of Friendship

Not only is it today a day of friendship, but it's the 30. of July and that means it is the international day of friendship as this is to remind you what it is about.
All should have minimum one real friend in life. Many have none. Thought in time of Facebook some seem to have a thousand. But science has already made it clear years ago that near friends are hard to find because a near and dear friend is more then just a friend, more then just someone you know or share one or two interest. Although what a friend is actually is not to tell in one word. And some of us know very well that we have very different kinds of friends. Some are like family, some are just for the funny things and some are work friends and some are friends to travel with or some have friends to play a game with. You see, all this kind is real and worth sharing and caring for. But how does the deepest friendship look like? Is it like Bilbo and Frodo in the "Lord of rings"? I guess kind of. 
You have a true friend if you can confess whatever you did without fear. You have a good friend if you and your friend are doing things just because of love and respect and without expecting to get something in return. You sure have a dear friend if you can talk about anything and especially if you haven't seen each other a long time you still understand each other- those also without much words. Because your truest friend understands you without words. Sometimes it's like a marriage, sometimes you're like brothers and sisters, sometimes your best buddies and sometimes you're even more then lovers. 
It would be nice if each of us had minimum such a friend, but many have friends which they can have fun with but never can trust all the time or with whom they can talk about anything. Many have just companions which is in no way bad, but that means they can feel lonely and sad sometimes. Many people can share with others but will never be totally part of a circle of friends. Some don't even know how to do this, though you can learn from TV and cinema. 
And in times of Facebook there is the question, are internet friends true friends because they can share everything and read everything from you? I read that they are true friends but I think, this is just companionship. I am not saying that this is unreal or nothing worth. Actually friendships of all kind and ways can be cherished that way and keep warm and it's a fantastic way of keeping in contact to those you care, but be aware the internet is just the surface. Maybe you already know that and as we like to update us and make us better and as we like to tell things a bit more interesting, the internet will never be more then a medium to work with, but can never replace the talking on the phone, the meeting in real life and as I realized it not long ago- we even don't have the chance to follow all of our internet contacts, which is nothing bad but can make you confuse and forget that things stay out of sight and so sometimes you wonder why someone writes a statement you can't relate to. It's simple that the internet is unable to let you follow all and maybe this is a sign, a warning too... to all of us to remember that we can live with not knowing everything from each other. 
So let the emotion calm down sometimes is a god choice.

But to come back to the day of friendship. It is also a day to say thank you to yourself having friends. It is a day to be grateful to have friends and maybe tell them that you are happy to have them. You have every day of the year to tell how much you care and relate to them but sometimes we take them for granted and forget that they are a precious thing. 
So... no matter where you are my friends. I am very, very grateful and happy to have you. All of you- no matter how deep our friendship is, no matter how long it last, no matter what we share at last- thank you, THANK YOU for being there and being a friend and I hope I am good as I hope I can be for you.  May we share a bit of our lifetime, may we share things a bit longer and have some more memories. May we be there in hard and in good times for each other and when the time is over, let's hope we are grateful for the time we had and may we remember the good hours we had together.

LOVE & LIGHT

Stonwall

On the night from the 27. till the 28. June 1969 in Christopher Street started the first real protest against the oppression from the police. Violence was the answer. Enough is enough was the answer. Queer people showed that they are indeed people as everyone else. They are not only week and have wigs and are easy to harm. They can fight for the right to dance, to live, to love as it is the most natural thing in the world. Being part of society means to live free and be what you are instead of hide and feel ashamed. Being people and love another people is very natural and can never be sick. Because Love is Love, meaning- it's a chemical reaction, it's a physical attraction, it's in your gene, it's what we all can feel, if we live with an open heart and it's a spiritual reaction and practice. 
So violence was the answer cos they were not heard before. 
And today after- let's think about, after 45 years, are we on a better way?
Yes, in many ways and many countries but also no in many ways and countries. In some it even becomes worse. 
In 77 countries homosexuality is still forbidden and will get you in prison or even dead. 
77 countries where they hide, live in fear, fight in the background, fight in the dark, need to believe that they have a chance to be taken as a man of the world worth living and get no harm, no matter if an other man think this is right or not because he does not understand that it is natural because this man just believes in what he had heard and believes what he has read or not, or because he just think he can pic a sentence out of the bible and claim we have to live that way, thought he never read the hole passage and understood that the bible is not a book to pic what you like or not but more a history document to read and see an idea of living and stories to safe live and that this book was written in a time where we lived t.ex. in the desert and after all that this book is written so many years after Jesus died and is not written from one single person and the not even chronologically and it took like 300 years to write all the passages and then after all not all who were written have stayed in the book at last. 
But I am drifting away.
We have come a long way since that but after 45 years it feels not that much, because just now we realize that so much was hidden and is vulnerable. 
The open homophobia is breaking out and that's a god thing because now we actually know. 
Yes in the beginning we have been ignored. Then people laughed about us. Since Stonewall they openly fight us and this is the last phase before people learn to understand us and take us for real.
But just now they fight us harder then since a long time. They beat us, smash us and try to kill us. For what? For blindness, stupidity, and for the reason that they are unknown to the subject and lost empathy. 
Because if they had empathy they would never do this. 
So let's teach them empathy, love and difference as in the same time equality. 
Let's teach them to think with mind, body and soul.
Let's teach them to learn to do this by them self. 
But they won't listen - do you say.
Right, many don't listen when we speak up, stand up, show us.
We have to waken them- but how? More words? More demonstration in silence, dance or with kisses?
Or is violence a choice to wake them up and make them look and listen to us? As it was 1969 needed. Is is needed now? Do we need a new Stonewall to collect us, to show us and get straight to the point again and then show them how to do it the LOVE way?
Lot's of discussion are needed but at the end we have to remember where exactly we stand.
There we wil know what to do, because I think, we have to do it all together, all ways and choices.  All variations (except those who means we fight against something- this way we lose, all will lose). 
Because that is the only way to get everyone to listen, because some will only act when they see a silent parade, others when they se a documentation, others will react when we fight back with a fist or showing a kiss. Then others will react when we show mercy or when we say out and loud and proud - STOP-! or they are people who will finally listen to arguments instead of following blind a word of a priest. 
Yes the time has come that it is no longer acceptable to hate gays and lesbians, trans and bisexual. The time has arrived that we all have to fight for the right to love without fear. No matter who you are. The time is here to see the light and stop being blind. 
And yes violence will be a part of it sometimes, because sometimes it's the first step which is needed to get out of a situation. It's the right to fight back. 
So.... to all the haters and homophobes.
Forget that we are a doormat, whipping boys, victims or scapegoats for t.ex. politics who just dislike the western living style!
WE ARE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WORTH THE SAME AS YOU!

LOVE & LIGHT

Master or Slave

Sitting in a coffeehouse and watch the people go by. Next to me the newspaper and I just read again of so many negative things going on in the world. Well, I know the press loves to write more then ever about negative things, but I do wonder. 
Wonder about all the reasons why things happen the way they do. Seems the world again is going more down then up and more in dark times then sunny times. Is this actually logical?
Do we need the bad times again and again to remember us what we should change and what we do?
Why can't we go the easy way? Or is it the easy way we think and then remember that the negative way is the hardest step to take? 
Do we now pay for all the last years were we loved to ignore to make it right. I mean let's face it. History is written in our books over and over again and lies are on our way. To many lies and to many wrong faces. 
How come that we can't leave hate behind? How come that we still have man with fascist mind? How come that all the extreme religion organizations can still tell people what to think and do? 
We never really took the enemy for real after they have lost. To many did go on with their life without any harm to them or even punishment. 
So how come after all the terrible things that have happened that we still are on the same road?
Don't they always say that life does change after those things?

The truth is, no matter how many terrible things may happen it does not mean that people change or do the real change. But why? 
Yes most believe, truly believe the are going to but then the every day life comes to you and time passes by and suddenly you're so far away from what you wanted once and many forgot or have hide it somewhere back in their memories what had to be done. 
Is it the fear, is it the unknown of the new times? Or are we just to lazy or is it that mankind is very good in telling them self a lie and giving reason not to do it today but still telling their must be a change?

So yes, we pay for all the things we have never done and all the things our parents have never done and our grandmothers and - fathers. But now some of you may say it's not their fault it's the politics fault and the industry and the rich man and the banks and the minister who lied to you. 
And you, you did not do anything to make this happen? Well you did. Now some may say what can a man, a single man do against those big, big lobby?
You can stand up and have courage. 
Isn't it crazy in next to every miracle, in every child story, every movie or TV show you can see that it is possible to stand up. You've ben thought but why don't you follow, if you do follow all the wrong things easy? 
Is it really that easy? Or have the BIG once the power and drag you in in the way they want you to be? To be lonely, afraid, unknown of your own potential or have most of us just become victims of our self? 
Why do many think we are so helpless, if we are not. Why do we close our eyes, if it would be better to have them open and know where you sett your steps?
Is it because mankind has thought them self the fair into blood? Is it that mankind has learned to fight a war instead of building up a home for everyone. Has mankind learned to much to kill and to close the mind over the truth? 
What truth? The truth, that is it not the fault of an organization or a BIG thing, it is.... human being are doing it. In good and in worse. 
But the test of power, the devil power seems more worth for too many. To stay blind is also for too many a way they choose and say they are just a victim and can't change. 
It's a lie but we like the lie.
Most do, dont they?
That's why we have new man with fascist mind, new man who build the bombs, new man who likes to see children starve to dead, new man to keep and blind eye on things wish never should happen to anyone or anything els who lives. 

So sad and it is easy to get angry about the fact that people like to be stubborn and stupid. But it never helps to be angry, it never helps to kill, it never helps to fight with the same weapon the enemy has. It never did and never will. 

Well, we all now this but then we forgot. It's like the silence who is around you and like the dead. We know and then forgot. Forget it every time we've remembered. 
So we don't need to think about it but most of our acting has to do with it. We do our choices known or unknown we always do. It is actually impossible to not make a choice so no one can say it's the fault of another one but we can tell the truth of compromises we took and take. We can see what we do and mostly we know where this will lead us. 
So how do we get our self to leave the path of lies?
Because all the lies have lead to far to many wars, to religions who made people stay stupid and telling things which are in no way what the most religion books are telling and after all you have a responsibility no one can take away from you, not even the priest or the politic man or or or. 
And while we all should know that each of us is equal and should have the same rights, we far to often make it otherwise. Most even think we are better then animals, but far to many are worse then them. But am I telling you something new? No. 

But are we Master or Slave in this game of life?
Is it about that? No.
It is surly not to take a side. Even know it may feel like this sometimes.
So it is a choice between our dark side inside us or the other side. We have both side in us, which is naturally cos like we all know if there is sun, there is shadow but we have a choice how big the shadow will be and how we will live. 

Above all this there is the question how to reach those who are not awake? Or should I ask you can we reach them? For we know very well that blind people are not to reach, no matter what we do. An extremist will never listen to you. The politic never cares about you and the industry owner will only listen to money or something else then you. 

So that means we can't do anything about the war regions? Well, actually never in the way we used to.
Meaning? There is a chance for change but it will not only take time, we believe we don't have and will cost a lot of lifes. 
Yes, many will die and many will be harmed at the end many will leave our way and be hurt. Seems mankind need this pain to really say yes to change in real. 
Lots of victims have been on our ways to change things in all the time we know about. Since we know and get to know our past with archeology we know the offerings, the pain, the mistakes and the dark sides, but also many good success and beautiful things have come to us. With this knowledge we can say that in our future there is a positive change possible if we really try and start with our own life. 
Hope. Yes, there is hope after all but for many people help will come to late and in some areas in the world peace will be a strange word for the next years too. 
Its human who do all the bad things and humans who do all the good things. 

To get awake and start living a life which includes others in love and peace is maybe a hard and painful way but nevertheless more then ever what we need if we will have a future. Just now many people are good in forgetting to make a good future and protest against each other and have connections which I remember we had long ago too and were so wrong and are it today too. Just remember the communist where working together with the fascist in their beginning and now the muslim are working with the nazis and all seem to forget that in their hate against another group their hate each other as well and will kill if the time is right. 
A mother will wonder why her child did say yes to such cruel thing and the father can only answer that the kid is blind. 
This has by the way nothing to do with god, it is human kind who did and do. 
So which side are you on?
And again... This is not the question. It is what way will you give to yourself and others to live by? No one needs to judge another man, but we do and forget that we don't see the whole truth. Things have become very complicated although it is very easy in the same time. 
Actually it is just to decide. 
That's the challenge. Thats the hope. 
And that was a blog with not a special topic but with a topic to include many happenings inside. 
I had the feeling that this is needed as we read of hate crime, of nazis and blind people because religion made them blind and of hate because people have learned hate to long and forgot that there is indeed an other way to live a life. I felt that we should really try to focus on the positive things we can do and live up to. Then we have a chance. There is still good things in the world which are worth to fight for, to open your eyes for to open your mind for. You have the courage inside you. Everyone has it. Just remember. Remember what you know inside you. The time for the next change has long ago arrived and if mankind will come to a better future we have to stand up and focus on the good things and remember. Use the good part of your ego and stop feeding the bad part. Stop feeding people who have loved their ego to much and only listen to the power of their own ego which exclude everyone and is at any cost to survive. 
Remember they are only people. Just like we. They only have the power because of you. Fight against them now? No. Fight for what you want! Ignore them as possible. Concentrate yourself on things you can affect. Start with yourself. Love yourself and forgive yourself for the past and let it go. Yes we have to let the past go. No matter what, there is no reason to keep on with it. It's actually stupid to keep on with the past cos you can't change it, but you can change the future by thinking the right things now. Who has began is unimportant and everyone who says it is is wrong. It's the past. Yes we got hurt. Yes we lost. Well make it better now. Let the mistakes teach you to do it the other way. The way of love and peace and respect. Trying to find those who are responsible for all the things in the past and the situation now is like trying to tell your toe that it is his fault that you went the wrong way. Because it was you and only you who did and nothing is wrong but we do mistakes. So stop saying you can't do it because you can but maybe you won't. Yes I am sorry if someone is telling you that you in that case have no right to grumble about your situation, because it is your own fault. So seeking the fault at others is in that way hilarious. 
Again, there is hope. Just remember. You can do it. 

LOVE & LIGHT

Enough is Enough

That was the name of a song not long ago and it feels still right to listen to it, but there are other reasons to think that way too. 
Not long ago in the last days of August we had these words spelling over the streets and as it may seem far away it is still near. The situation has changed so little that we have to go on telling this to all the people out there who forget to use their heart and mind and remember what it is about being human.
So some people, to be clear seven, decided to do more then lip play... They got together to gather people together to walk on the street and show off that we are real, we are worth living and loving. That it is a human right to handle things with us in a fair way and with love too. All the hate and lies are just so sad and stupid but out there so much to find. 
So we decide stopping be a victim, of words or racquets, of lies and people with hate inside and blindness. Also all this bitterness has to wash away on every side.
So we, the people, part of the folk, came. 
They say we were just 2.000 or so, but that was just when we came together to the meeting point, but when we started we already had the number of over 5.000 and became next to 10.000 over the march and in the end we still had those 5.000 hard believer for equality and the rights to love. 
Yes all started to set a sign for the gays and lesbian and transgender in Russia, but became much more as it is a fact that in many other countries homosexual get beaten, killed, punched and throw away from what they love and who they love. 
So we showed up to these countries but also after just a couple of weeks after all this started to set a sign- it was very clear, because the Olympia is coming up in Russia and Putin had some bad, new, rules and laws set in, it was time to react. 
Not only people in other countries should hear and see our acting and standing up for our and their believe, also we wanted to show our own government to stop the silence, to take a stand for human rights. They always talk, but never walk the walk. 
Sadly they did not react much and many believe all we did was just another kind of lip play. 
But as it happens so are people still hurting, beaten and punished for just the way they are. Just for a natural way of loving and being. 
Just right now we had a famous Drag-mother- beaten up so hard on the streets after her gig she did, that she had to stay in the hospital and frighten how it will go on, like with her eye- will it function again or stay blind?
Don't get me wrong, there are worst out there but we have to make a stop in the earliest way, like on work when someone is behaving homophobe. 
Courage is not a worth is an act. Standing up is courage.
But for this you have to know yourself and wake up, be aware of what is around and how it is meant to be or should be.
By the way- The name of that person is Gèrome Castell. And only she lived a very own way and does not look like a clichè of a man or a women, the pain was given. 
That was a waking call, another one, but a call which woke up also the press and many people for now. 
Another acting up is happing because of this and that is that there will be a Show on the 4. November in the "Wilden Oskar" in Berlin to support not only a famous person, it is also to support the right to stay alive. 
I mean you may have problems to deal with the way another people lives but no one should have the right to beat and kill you for being different. 
After all- those people, different people have given mankind so much more that mankind would be different if they would not have exist. 
Great people where those, in good and bad. 
So no matter what, I guess you will like to live in peace and that is what we are fighting for instead of fear, cos if you or someone needs fear then it shows just how weak you are, how sad you are and how unsure you are and how less you care about yourself. 
Remember that. 
And why not- decide for the side of the sun and love. It can be a challenge in the beginning but it is possible and in the end more easy to live up to then hate and bitterness and things like this.

still so many countries who fear homosexual and wants to  kill them

it can rain, but love is never giving up

remember those who can't be with us and are death because they do care to love

and here we have the flyers for the support show... come if you can.. Revolution of LOVE is only real when we live it!

LOVE & LIGHT
