Q: why did you write a book? A: my first book "softly but highly dangerous
I open your heart" was not intentionally written to create
a book. The poems were written for a man I fell in love with. I
could not help it, there was no cure. It was an unrequinted love
and because I was unable to articulate myself in front of him I
wrote my thoughts down so he could take them home and study them
in a secure place without the pressure to answer or act...It was
his idea to put these poems into a book ... but before that materialized
I started to read them to other people, strangers, and the effect
was so incredible that I slowly started taking this idea seriously.
Q: why do you write?
A: It is written in every holy book:" in the beginning
is the word"
The word is a thought, spoken out loud.
Wise books also say: "And the word becomes flesh" Now-
what does that mean? - it means that whatever you THINK and SAY
- if you are serious it will materialize...
So we better watch our tongue...and observe our own thinking...
For example: In order to figure out what buggs me, why I cannot
relax or why I feel angry, sad or have a strange uncomfortable sensation
in my body - my healing method is to find out through writing. I
write down what I think. Writing for me is to dive deep inside and
have a serious conversation with my self. Writing for me is to pay
close attention to my inner self and to be honest to myself. I uncover
my hidden secrets... When I see my thoughts written down and I read
them again the following day - I am in another mood and I will know
if the thought is the truth or if it was just a personal emotion
...emotions come and go-
Wise women and men say that emotions are bad leaders... and the
older we get the more we should be in control of our thoughts and
not be controlled by them. I gain control over my life by getting
to know my self and listening to the truth that never changes...
and to pass on my knowledge I tell the stories of my life in one
or the other form
Q: what is success for you?
A: inspiring other people to think for themselves and stand
up for their rights AND duties
