Spiritual communities often emphasise that the way to liberation and enlightenment is to give up your ego and your identity - your queerness.
This is not fair. In fact, it is a very subtle form of discrimination and rejection.
We need safe spaces and spiritual communities that support us on our journey as rainbow people.

Don't judge yourself.
Don't criticise yourself.
Don't even try to prove you are worthy.
Don't.
Don't go into that darkness.
Meditation is beyond all worldly criteria.
Sit down, close your eyes, breathe in, breathe out, and time stands still.
For no one.

True happiness is not dependent on the outside world - it comes from within. Therefore, it is not selfish, and it's not in conflict with anyone.

Be gentle. Be kind and benevolent. Listen.
Maintain an attitude of acceptance and respect.
Create a safe space so that people can relax in your presence and let go fear and anxiety.
The gift of fearlessness is precious and very, very fragile.

Ein Gänseblümchen würde niemals versuchen eine Rose zu sein. Das wäre auch ziemlich absurd.
Ein Gänseblümchen ist ein Gänseblümchen, jeden Tag so gut es kann.
A daisy would never try to be a rose. That would be a stupid thing to do.
A daisy is just a daisy, every day as good as it can.

Whatever I have done to you in thought word and deed: please forgive me. It came out of my 'dukkha'.
Whatever you have done to me in thought word and deed: I forgive you.
I know it came out of your 'dukkha".
Lay down the burden.
Set your heart free.

Sei sanftmütig.
Sei freundlich.
Lass die Angst gehen.
Lächle den Menschen zu und lass sie in Deinen Augen alles sehen, was gut an ihnen ist.

Der Morgen brachte Kühle und Leichtigkeit.
Ich stand am Fenster und fühlte die Luft auf meiner Haut, sanft und leise.
Der Wind kam aus der Ferne und erzählte Geschichten vom Staub der Sahara, von Meeren und Seen, Wiesen und Wäldern und dem Schnnee der Gebirge.
