Inspirational text part 2

Diese Krise macht die Kinder besorgt um ihre Eltern und Großeltern.

Können wir Senioren das zulassen, dass sie sich um uns sorgen?

Können wir loslassen?

Liebe und Vertrauen gehen Hand in Hand. Sie sind wie ein Liebespaar, unzertrennliche Gefährten in dieser ach so schweren Zeit mehr als jemals zuvor.

Wie habt ihr nur den Krieg überlebt und überstanden, ohne verrückt geworden zu sein?

Eltern der Kriegsgeneration, ihr seid meine großen Vorbilder, wir haben es heute bereits schwer eine Corona Virus Krise zu überstehen, ohne durchzudrehen.

Mein Gott, ich habe Zeit, zu viel Zeit, um mir Sorgen zu machen und Fernsehen zu schauen, aber kostbare Zeit um die Natur zu erkunden und ein Gefühl von wohliger Wärme in meinem Solarplexus  zu fühlen wo sonst lediglich Leere oder Druck waren, nehme ich mir nicht.

Diese Leere habe ich durch sinnloses Konsumieren, viel und ununterbrochenes Quatschen, durch unauthentische Floskeln und Sittsamkeit, durch ein falsches Lächeln und nach dem Munde sprechen, versucht zu füllen und zu unterdrücken.

Aber jetzt nach einem Monat Corona- Virus- 19 Krise finde ich endlich einige meiner essenziellen Eigenschaften zurück. Ich fühle mich wie nie zuvor, ich bin lebendig und lebhaft. Ich stehe fest auf der Erde und kreise nicht im Kopf und Körper herum.

Ich bin endlich wieder bei mir selbst angekommen.

Was ist schöner als in der Phase des ‚social distancing‘, mit Menschen auf der Straße ein Schwätzchen zu halten?

Corona 19, du hast etwas erreicht, wir Menschen sind wieder auf dem Boden der Tatsachen angekommen.

Jeder Mensch liebt sein Leben und sich selbst und er liebt den Kontakt zum Mitmenschen.

Die Mitmenschlichkeit, eine Erfindung von Corona 19?

Nein, nicht wirklich! Dennoch haben wir unsere Verletzlichkeit zu spüren bekommen. Wir sind uns wieder bewusster geworden wie sehr wir miteinander verbunden sind und auf gegenseitige, mutige Unterstützung und Liebe unserer Mitmenschen vertrauen können.

Ich habe jetzt Zeit zum Atmen und das ist meine lebensverlängernde Maßnahme.

Atme durch und befrei dich von allem Ballast.

Finde deinen Edelstein.

Das ist der Stein deiner Wahrheit und Weisheit.

Inspirational text part 2

This crisis is causing children to worry about their parents and grandparents.

Can we seniors allow them to worry about us?

Can we let go?

Love and trust go hand in hand. They are like a couple, inseparable companions in this oh so difficult time more than ever before.

How did you survive the war and survive without going mad?

You parents of the war generation are my great role models, we already have a hard time overcoming a Corona virus crisis without going crazy.

My God, I have time, too much time to worry and watch TV, but precious time  to explore nature and to get in touch with a feeling of pleasant warmth in my solar plexus, where otherwise only emptiness or pressure was, I do not take.

I have tried to fill and suppress this emptiness in my solar plexus by consumption of food and drinks, by working hard, by distraction and inauthentic small talks and well intentioned advice, by inappropriate false and conformist smile and by pleasing people.  

But now after a month of Corona Virus 19 crisis, I finally find back some of my essential characteristics, my gifts, my passion, my vocation who I really was created to be before I got constrained by my past.

I feel gorgeous and very much alive. I stand firmly on the ground and do not feel confused.

I have finally found myself again. 

What is more beautiful than in the phase of 'social distancing' to have a chat with people on the street.

Corona 19, you have achieved something, we humans have returned to the bottom of the facts and who we are in the essence.

Every human being loves his life and himself and he loves the contact with others.

Humanity an invention of Corona virus 19?

No, not really, but it became a sort of reminder to accept our vulnerability and to become aware of how much we depend on the power and love of each other.

I now take time to breathe in and out and this is my life-extending measure.

Take a deep breath and free yourself from all the ballast.

Find your gemstone.

This is the stone of your truth and wisdom.

Biography:

3^rd May

Brigitte Fitschen

A biographical outline

I was born in Germany in 1953.  I studied Anglistics, Romans letters and Education to become a secondary school teacher. My mother originating from France allowed me to have a Franco-allemande family background while I was born and educated in Germany.

My passion for Art was present my whole life. If my father had not denied me

to become an artist, I would have studied art after I had succeeded my A levels at the age of 19 years.

The passion and love for painting, sculpturing and writing from 16 years onwards remained inspiring me my whole life.

My love for writing reappeared 20 years ago when in the Advanced course of

Landmark worldwide educational courses I invented myself as a fiction writer who desired to produce a novel and to open a gallery with other artists.

During 40 years of being passionate and active about painting and sculpturing in my leisure time, I produced more than 125 paintings and other pieces of artistic work which I created in several professional art courses where I enrichened my skills and capacities.  My commitment however to writing was not expressed that much till I got in contact inspired by my daughter to join the writer’s empowerment club in London on the net. From there the idea to publish a book about the lives of refugees got invented.

Last year I took part in this writing project about refugees. I have published with 8 co-writer’s stories about refugees to bring the struggle and pains of foreigners to our western population and enable them to feel more empathy and compassion with refugees.

While I am busy finishing my first romantic novel, I take part as well in this project about the corona Crisis 19 and to paint out how it affects our lives.

I am the proud mother of 3 grown up children and I have been married twice. Once to a Dutch man who is the father of my 3 children and later to a Nigerian man who came to Europe himself as a refugee.

I divorced both men and kept my mother with me for 8 years to take care of her. She died in 2019 at my place in the Netherlands.

Since my mothers’ transition and me being retired I develop creative capacities in painting and writing.
