Take a look behind reality

Take a look behind reality

Originally I just wanted send out some dear Christmas wishes to you – but then.

Seeing the terror and agonize in Syria, Aleppo, and elsewhere and the same terror and fear right before our eyes in Berlin. And all that terror creating more hate and anger wherever you look…

 

It leaves me speechless.

I feel a deep compassion and sorrow for all this terrible pain and suffering.

But I also feel like waking up from a nightmare, looking around and slowly starting to realize what madness is happening around us!

 

In the wake of terror there is always shock. That moment of wakefulness, where we are extremely alert, very present and aware.

 

It is this kind of present awareness which enables us to see things as they truly are. And I believe it´s important to get that very clear and focused look towards the things happening around us.

 

It helps us to act with wisdom and out of a deeper knowing, and so not to fuel the omnipresent mad and destructive thinking.

 

If you feel like wanting to open your eyes even more and look behind the scenes of our collective reality I deeply recommend this new documentary „Hypernormalisation“ by british filmmaker Adam Curtis.

 

Here is the link to You Tube – if you´re in Britain you´ll be able to watch it on the BBC Iplayer.

 

 

I deeply believe that we can change this world for the better.

To do this we need visions and ideas and I hope that next year there will open up some room and space for this.

 

 

In the chinese horoscope it will be the year of the fire rooster. Being a sign of dawn and new beginnings, it hopefully raises further awareness to a deeper truth beyond material matters. Where we can connect with each other without resentments to create a sane world for all of us.

 

Much love to you!

Spirit Animals

As you know, I believe that all our lifes are connected with one another.

One great way of experiencing this is through inspiration.

 

In general, I think there are a lot of things out there, which we lost our connection with.

 

Two years ago, at this time of the year, my father was very ill. I realized during that time, that I was seeing owls. Everywhere. On the internet. While I was shopping. When I drove through town. On bags, clothes or in magazines.

It felt odd and uncanny and some day I started to google the meaning of owls. That´s how I learned about spirit animals, that they want to guide you and might give you an insight over a current life situation.

 

Eveil de la nuit

„Eveil de la nuit“ 64 x 76 cm, I bought this grand tapisserie picture in Paris, handembroidered in the 1960s

 

So the owl points to clarity and indeed, during that time, I felt very clear and aware of all the things happening around me. In many traditions the meaning of owls is to be the announcer of death, but also in a symbolic way like a huge transition or change in life.

 

My father died some weeks later quietly and peacefully and I stopped seeing the owls.

Since then I am much more aware about recurring animals in my life – and I appreciate them now as a useful signpost. They sometimes help me to reassure my feelings or give me insights about something I have to deal with.

 

As always, it´s our very own choice to make use of such guidance or not. But if you happen to have some own experiences with spirit animals, please share – I´d love to hear about it!

So long, I wish you a very peaceful and happy christmas time!

Gallery Baeckerstrasse

 

CUBELIN at the Chrismas Charity of the Gallery Baeckerstrasse in Berlin Schöneberg. This event was organized by owner Alexander Urban and his lovely wife Marie Le Febvre. Lots of friends and costumers came to buy tickets for the tombola and more. More than hundreds guests made this event a big success. Besides the Cubelins I presented a collection of my new crocheted sculpture bags. Having sold the Cubelin „Flowers“ 10 % of the price is donated to the help of the Berlin refugees. Finally in total 1500 Euros were raised to support the Malteser egagement for refugees.
