crazy times - for a together

For 1 1/2 years we have been living in crazy times....
For me, as a person and an artist, a point has been reached where I would like to position myself once more....

For a togetherness...

We may have different opinions...
but we are humans, friends, girlfriends, brothers and sisters, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us!

We may have different certainties, sources (politicians, doctors, virologists, sociologists, psychologists, journalists, scientists, philosophers, friends), according to which we act, but we are still people, friends, girlfriends, siblings, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us!

We may have different fears, for example of a disease or its side effects, or the measures to limit this disease and the basic rights and other things, but we are still people, friends, girlfriends, siblings, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us!

We may have made different decisions to vaccinate ourselves this year (this year / next year another time) or not to vaccinate ourselves...
but we are human beings, friends, siblings, children, parents - that connects, or may connect us!

Now some feel safe because they are vaccinated and criticize others because they are unvaccinated and endanger others because they could infect them. The unvaccinated criticize the vaccinated, because they do not (have to) test themselves anymore and thus could (could) infect others and endanger others, no matter if vaccinated or not vaccinated ... but we are human beings, friends, siblings, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us!

Some warn about the consequences of a disease, and may be right, or not - but is this the only dangerous disease in our lives? The others warn about the (late) consequences of a vaccination that has not been tested long enough and may be right, or not... two opposing opinions, sometimes even in our own thoughts - but we are people, friends, girlfriends, brothers and sisters, children, parents - that connects, or may connect us!

The thoughts, the conversations, the not spoken towards the other person, often especially the written in the vastness of the social media of the Internet excites us and others, hurts us and others by us and others, seems to separate us, - but we are still people, friends, girlfriends, siblings, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us!

So now there is decreed, or self-chosen, a further division - 2G (for vaccinated or recovered)makes it easier or harder, depending on the view - among other things, also in the cultural field... allows theoretically full rooms, maskless, testless.... but only for vaccinated and recovered, who are demonstrably contagious, but no longer need to test themselves and then could infect others at a 2G party or infect themselves there and then infect others elsewhere... 
Should we perhaps only allow 2G events  and shopping, buses, segregated areas on trains, etc. for the vaccinated and recovered on one side and for the unvaccinated on the other - i.e. separately? But we are human beings, friends, siblings, children, parents - that connects, or may connect us!

I am for the connecting... and trust in life... and our own decision to do the right thing... concede to the other person to vaccinate or not to vaccinate, to live healthy or not to live healthy.

I decide not to support the divisive and will not be available as an artist and human being for the divisive, for events that exclude people, BECAUSE we are people, friends, girlfriends, siblings, children, parents - That connects, or may connect us.

We may be different, have different opinions - but we should not forget what unites us

We together, for and in a togetherness!
In love, in peace
May it be so, May it be so!
Ahooo

what is your way?

follow the news of war
if you want to follow the war
follow the fear
if you want to live in fear
follow the angry, the hate,
if you want to live in anger
follow destruction
when your path is the destruction

follow hope
if you want to hope
follow love, live in love
if you want to love
follow peace, live in peace
if you want the peace

what soothes you,
what gives you strength?
pictures of war?
messages of hate, anger, trash, envy?
a hike in nature?
a look into the sky?
a laughing face?
what is your way

what is your way?

... may he be at peace, and in love ...

welchen weg gehst du?

folge den nachrichten des krieges,
wenn du dem krieg folgen willst.
folge der angst,
wenn du in angst leben willst.
folge den wütenden, dem hass,
wenn du in wut leben willst.
folge der zerstörung,
wenn dein weg zerstörung ist.

folge der hoffnung,
wenn du hoffen willst.
folge der liebe, lebe in liebe,
wenn du liebe willst.
folge dem frieden, leben in frieden,
wenn du frieden willst.

was beruhigt dich,
was gibt dir kraft?
bilder des krieges?
nachrichten von hass, wut, trash, neid?
eine wanderung in der natur?
ein blick in den himmel?
in ein lachendes gesicht?

welchen weg gehst du?
... möge er in liebe und in frieden sein...
