Powerful times of reflection and gratitude.... two days ago I celebrated the 25th Anniversary of my escape from the Communism Regime in East Germany. Like it happened just yesterday, I remembered vividly the very moment standing high up on the Stephans-Dom in Vienna Austria, feeling a stream of tears running down my cheeks, it was the very moment when I realised I was FREE. The anxiety experienced on my journey into freedom; the depression, pain and anger I had felt over the years of my childhood for being kept like bird in a cage dropped of my shoulders and was washed away by my tears. This was the very moment I had dreamed off for years, but had I ever dared to believe that this dream would become true? Growing up in a country surrounded by barb wire, walls, watch tours and soldiers armed to their teeth, I felt raging despair; my dream of Freedom seamed far and unreal. I was very young, alone, with no family, no friends and no destination to go; but deep inside I felt the peaceful knowing that everything would be all right. I was ready to spread my wings, to fly, to create my future the way I wanted it to be. These powerful times have given me a deep appreciation and gratitude for life, peace and freedom. I place freedom as my highest value of all. Thanks for life, thanks for freedom, thanks for my beautiful friends and thanks for the most beautiful country Im living in today. I pray that everybody in the world can live in freedom, peace and harmony one day. Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu.
