Heaven tells hello

It is a little bit funny

This feeling inside

A few years have passed now

After your final ride

It still feels strange, from time to time

That I can not share with you

Like we did use to do

We now communicate with another sign

I still do talk with you

And ask you for advice

And if I seriously do

I get your answer, clear and nice

No words come from you

I must find them, my way

I know what to do,

I am okay

When I feel lost,

What happens less and less

I ask you 

How I can let the bad times pass

And if I finally found the answer

How to cope the stormy weather

You show me how good it is

With a tiny bright white feather

Today, you did say hello again

It was such a happily surprise

Because I did not ask you 

But you felt my worries, disguised

Thank you for being who you are

So close, no matter how far

President Xi's arrival…

Tell President Obama to stand up for Tibetans

Dear Hans, You can be the voice of Tibetan political prisoners – a voice they desperately need – by signing this International Campaign for Tibet petition to President Obama. It’s important for you to act now because Chinese President Xi Jinping will be at the White House on Friday. This official state visit gives us a golden opportunity to focus attention on the plight of political prisoners in Tibet. President Xi Jinping is leading a ruthless crackdown on Tibetans' human rights. "Crimes" punishable by imprisonment and torture include peaceful assembly, displaying the Tibetan flag, and calling for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet. Highly-revered lama Tenzin Delek Rinpoche died in a Chinese prison this summer. ICT alerted the world to the desecration of his body and persecution of his family members. Now we are rallying public support to help save Khenpo Khartse, a respected abbot who is beloved by his community suffering serious health problems as he serves a 2-1/2 year sentence for allegedly "divulging state secrets." Please sign ICT’s petition to President Obama urging him to stand up for Tibetans. Issues raised during his meetings with President Xi Jinping must include: Investigating the death of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche. Releasing Khenpo Khartse and all innocent Tibetan political prisoners. Committing to dialogue with envoys of the Dalai Lama to end China’s repression in Tibet. Thank you for speaking up for voiceless Tibetan political prisoners…and for all you do to help resolve the crisis in Tibet. Sincerely, Matteo Mecacci President P.S. Please forward this message to your friends and encourage them to join you in helping free Tibetan political prisoners.

Give peace a chance

Today it is international peace day.

More then ever this day is needed. More then ever people are participating, as well in the social networks, and in photo groups. My picture for today did make it in the wonderful compilation in the Flowers Photo group..

Of course I am proud, that my picture is among the best, and Ilove to share it as well.
Less proud is what I am for the reason. It should not be needed to put signs for peace. When we all want peace, why are so much fights then?
When we all want peace, why do we refuse to understand eachother
When we all want peace, why are so many people sharing hate messages (most without that they realize what they are doing)
When we all want peace, why don't we start with it right now?  Be friendly to the peope in the street (even when they can not understand you, a smile is the same in all languages).

When we all want peace, let us then start in our own daily circle. Be friendly, hug, smile, try to understand others, instead of being afraid for... yes, for what?

Why should you be scared of other people, who come over to Europe with nothing then the clothes they wear? 
When a little child wants something, and his parents say, that it is not possible, the child might react with stamping its foot and refuse to listen to what the parents have for reason.
Instead of listening and trying to understand, the child might cry and scream.
So loud that it can not hear the replies.
Why?
Because it knows, from nature, that, when it gives the other a chance to tell why and how, they have no reason anymore to feel upset.
The only thing that they want at that moment, is to test their power. Children learn that violence (as in loud crying) never brings a solution.
Unfortunately a lot of people forget their childhood lessons.
They prefer to scream, so that they can not hear what the other wants to say
They know that at the moment that they get silent, that there will be reason, peace, if you will name it that way.

Fights, wars, they never bring a winner.  But a friendly gesture is never refused. A friendly face returns friendly faces.
We should try it
Give peace a chance

Nicht zu fassen

Manchmal fragt man sich wirklich, ob Orginisatoren von Events so fixiert von ihren Arbeit sind, das sie die Realität aus den Auge verlieren.

Unsere Stadt hat, in gute Rheinischen Tradition, viele highlights und festivitäten, dieses Wochenende gibt es das Hansafest.

Bis ein paar Jahre her war das nett, Entertainment und live Musik.

Die letzte Jahre gibt es das nicht mehr, wahrscheinlich war das alles zu teuer. 

Anstatt gelernt zu haben von, zum Beispiel, letztes Jahr, setzt die Organisation ein auf den beprüften Formel.

Die nicht funktioniert.

Um 17 Uhr ist es schon so ruhig wie auf einen regnerische Tag ohne Events. 

Wir laufen kurz über den Platz, und den Highlight ist etwas mit aerobics. 

Tsja.

Schnell mal wieder nach Hause, aber mit Pläne für dem nächsten Fototreffs und mehr.

The day that the 20th was just the 18th

Yes, I do it again!

Thinking that it is September 20th, all day.

And then Gisela corrects me, whenI posted this picture. 

Sigh, oh well, it is just day 18 in september.

Holidays run to an end, but the days are fine and relaxed, and the worries are limited. 

Josh is Diane, and Joseph is again ill. Essential worries for sure.

With abit of luck we get to Koblenz next Thursday, but we both do not know before monday if we are free that day. 

Today I made my Picture in the Park, week 44, it is amazing, it looks like I will succeed this, it gets realy close now. 😊

Good night. 

Fky away

Sometimes I just want to fly away
As long as it is far away, it is okay
The destination does not matter too much
It is the flight, the magic touch

The travel through clouds
High above the earth
Above noises and shouts
The silent view is it worth

Where the sky is blue, where is no rain
Looking down, to the world so small
No time to worry about (almost) nothing
Just flying without a fall

I don't want to fly alone
And I don't care about a drone
Come, please fly with me
And close your eyes, so that you can see

That nothing realy matters, what I do
As long as I can fly away with you

Sliding away

Sliding away

All I want is

To hold you

To wrap my arms around you

All I want is to be there

To tell you, whatever happens, I will be there

I want you to feel my heart beat

I want you to stroke your hair

I want to take away your worries

Soften your pain, fullfill your need

When you fall asleep

Away from worries and pain

I want to be in your dreams

With cheerfull moments again

When you wake up in the morning

I want you to meet a happy day

Not necessarily just roses

But that you feel happy and are okay

Now, that you are finally asleep

My soul is fully awake

And I wonder, how much longer 

How much more is there to take

I can't give an answer

Other then Time will say

In the meantime I feel helpless

When you slip sliding away
