Family Meeting

hikeminded1 Comment

Because of covid my Mom wasn’t able to have a party for her 70th birthday last year. So we had her party at our family gathering in August.

When my Grandma died some years ago, I looked at all the old family pictures from the 50s and younger and with those pictures in mind I wrote in her obituary: “For me she was the calming role model and responsible for a lively and cheerful big family in which there were as good as no quarrels – without any psychology books.”

When I look at the pictures of this event, I know that she did very well and still effects us all today, seven years after she went away forever.

Burn The Virus II

From all the countries and landscapes they came. Druids, magicians, inventors, artists, scientists and clairvoyants. They came with their burden in form of a virus and they came to take its power away. To ban it from the surface of Mother Earth. Like last year, only better.


After the burning of the viruses, a portal in heaven opened and a red rainbow appeared. Unfortunately we – the humans – are not yet ready to to read the signs.

And than darkness and rain came and the ceremony began …

A Birthday Party Without A Party

hikeminded5 Comments

As every year, I had my birthday beginning of January. But this year it wasn’t possible to have some friends over. So I decided to do it differently this time. I invited every one of them separately to a Covid-safe meeting, either to

  • a walk at night in the city
  • or a hike on the countryside
  • or a video chat

And I’m still on it. It will take more than three month and it’s great. Don’t get me wrong: I could really have a party and some food with friends right now, but I had a lot of good conversations that I wouldn’t have had on a gathering with a lot of other people.

So here ist the documentation til now:

Walk in the Park with Edi

Videochat with Elke from Hongkong

Elke was “imprisoned” in her hotel room at the time. She was in quarantine for 18 days. She even had an “ankle cuff” on her arm.

Meeting Vika & Sebastian

Night hike through Tiergarten with Susanne

Night Hike along Panke with Chris

Hike around Bötzsee with Eva

Along Panke with Jonathan, Nico and Louis

To Plötzensee with Christian

Fullmoon walk through Wedding and Mitte with Jenni

In the Park with Judith, Tilman und Ilma

Night walk with Inke & Jürgen

To be continued …

Burn the Virus

On a nice beginning of summer weekend, we met on the countryside to finally eradicate the corona virus from earth. Once and for all. At least in our dreams :-).

Everything started smoothly with a sunny walk through the fields.

But how to burn a virus? We first must have it. And as our intent was highly symbolic, we had to create symbols that could be burnt.

The evening came and our master of ceremonies came in form of ancient Indian wisdom to bring light to those dark times.
