CONSIDERATIONS

For days I have been touched by two suicides of young people that I am aware of: An almost child of 16 threw himself out of a window after being laid off, losing his job. Although the mother's supervisor offered to give him work again. Why? Another young man in the USA took his own life, even though - according to...

"Trust is the highest form of courage." (The origin of the quote is unknown to me) Dear interested fellow human beings, I am starting my newsletter - as I have done so many times before - with the story of a true incident and encounter. A few days ago, I was waiting for my subway train at Karlsplatz station. The people around me were exhausted, gray, almost black - the...

  "Abandon the unwholesome, cultivate the wholesome and liberate the mind!" Buddha Sakyamuni In recent weeks, I have noticed that many people are no longer able to hear the news - about fires, floods, war and violence, assassinations and crises, climate change and threatening future scenarios. Often, the tabooing of what...

The night before yesterday: When I heard the title of the movie a friend told me about, I somehow didn't want to see it. "How our food is destroying the planet" a movie that was shown 2 days ago at 11:05 pm on ORF - it will be on in the media library for another 4 days.

  A process of growing awareness "We are all unique, incomparable - whether we know it or not" Dear interested people, we are taught in our culture that self-confidence comes from comparison: If I am better, faster, further than others, more beautiful, more educated, more famous, then I can consider myself "self-confident"....

"Let's give up hope that the "others" will change, we are all the solution!"

What touched me most deeply - tears flowed down my cheeks every time - was seeing people under the rubble, the ashes,...

Dear interested fellow human beings, I am only finding my words in writing today, as I am starting anew in many respects at this point in my life and do not know where it will lead me... I only know many things in the experience of this one moment - in quiet contemplation, in feeling into my body, soul and spirit, in becoming aware of my inner energy. Then...

Touched by the perception of ourselves and the world Children, teenagers, young adults dream: of fires that consume their homes, of floods that drown them, of robots and demons that rule all life... They see the wounds of nature, of the world, of us humans. And they are often sad - get diagnoses like depression...,...

  A long time has passed between the last blog and today's entry. Many people perceive this distance as a gap, something that interrupts - is missing. And in my experience, it's exactly the opposite and that's why I want to tell you about it: Back at the beginning of last year, I wanted to share my work in Vienna, my website - the people...

  I'm sitting in Fortnum and Mason's for lunch, just to spoil myself. An exclusive restaurant, beauty, old wood, velvet upholstery - the waiters and waitresses a ballet, eager to serve. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh - a delight. Every plate a total work of art, surrounded by happy people. Ladies after shopping - next to...
