What People Say

As we move into a new natural year with the spring equinox I want to share a snipped of thought from last summer when I was in the arctic circle (where the seasons are ever more so extreme).
i can’t help but connect current global problems to an imbalance of monotheistic based linear mentality.
What do you think?

Ramadan ☪️ ~ Every Year on the 10. Day of Ramadan, all the Restaurants of the Dahab promenade (El Mamsha) put their tables out and offer their meals to everyone that shows up.
It’s to share food with those that don’t have much. To share humanity with those that are alone. And to connect with people from all classes and regions of the world.
This is what community looks like!

It is the first year, that I join in and fast along with my muslim friends. It brings me to a whole other level of appreciation for this culture. Going through the hardship of fasting and then eat together at sunset, where everyone brings food and contributes to the meal. This is how spiritual work is supposed to be done. Together in community with discipline and compassion

Ramadan can in some ways be compared to Christmas. They are both highlights of the religous year, full of traditions and rituals. But in Egypt the community is at the core of traditions. They do this not only in Dahab but all over Egypt, where whole neighborhoods take their tables to the streets and share their meals.

This one took me weeks to put into words. On one side I live in a culture that wants to heavily restrict interactions between the sexes to avoid problems. I believe this missed the opportunity to teach people to be humans. On the other side there are people excusing actions with instincts and impulses that also shows a lack of education about mental strength and inner alignment. This is about integrity, responsibility and accountability. Qualities, I believe are very important to function as a society. Maybe that’s the reason they are mentioned in religious texts? Then why is it misinterpreted so often?
