My photos reflect a little bit of my inner self.

I know that there is beauty inside me and so I see a lot of beauty outside. For those of you who feel a lot of admiration for nature's beauties I offer the group

Another group was founded to show joy and happiness in human life:

Actually my focus is on these new groups:

I resisted to join the army when Germany still had the obligation for young men to go there. Deep in my heart I felt somehow as a pacifist, the war in Vietnam showed me that peace cannot be realized by armies and guns. First I had to find peace inside of me. Peace begins in individuals, the greatest conflict zone is our own mind.

 

So there is a longing inside me to do my little effort in encouraging people for peace activity. I try to express this in moderating my brand-new group

 

PEACE ONE DAY

You are most welcome.

 

My priority no. 1 is life itself.

I appreciate what has been given to me and I respect human life in first place.

 

In a world of craziness I found some place that is not good and not bad - I like to call it "my true home". Maybe other people and poets call it "the world of my heart".

 

May I recommand some inspiration for those who are looking for inner fulfillment?

Contacts: Actually the number of my contacts is more than 400 - already too many to give my personal attention. I beg your pardon that I will not accept each of the contact requests.

Take it easy.
