If there is a pain you can’t get rid of, make it your creative offering…
This sentence from your book, dear Susan, is on the front page of my diary, I see it every day.
It’s the Motto that has been leading me on my path since.
Yes, I have a pain I can’t get rid of, and that’s probably the German trauma - which is showing up again these days : The pain to see what terrible things human beings can do to others (as our ancestors did) and how that never ceases. I dreamt the dream of our after-WW II-generation, that we never again would allow anything like that to happen again. But …
???? !!!
That is probably also part of why the war against Ukraine shakes me that much that it gives me pain deep in my soul and even my body.
I wish I could deliver more and greater healing there and in the world in general - like people who organise practical help, convoys etc…
But all I have is my creative way, the colours I can put to the mast - and I do hope my pictures, poems, music and texts - and being with the people there - can spread a little warmth and hope.

Just by writing this Christiane, you created beauty.
You already created a dent though the hard shell of hate and war happening in the world today. A dent of hope, of healing, of love.
You're already doing a lot. So I'm sure it will make its way into helping this situation.
I feel that you spread warmth and hope in every interaction - truly.
I‘m very glad to hear that from you, Susan … that gives me hope. It means a lot to me, thank you ☺️
Susan Cain means life really beautiful life.
