The Way

Below us, the world is burning,
and some of what we loved
has long turned into ashes.

There are steps ahead of us,
more than we could ever count,
and no one knows where they may lead.

But somewhere up there,
light falls across our path.

Look at me once more.
Take my hand.

Maybe the road is long –
but not a single step
will you walk alone.

Empathy and copyright.
I was appalled. Not too long ago, this person blocked me because I reported extensively on Anachron's illness here. This morning I posted that he has to go back to the hospital for chemotherapy today. And what does this woman do? Instead of leaving her well wishes as a comment, she makes her own post and even uses my picture for her graphic. First, she doesn't want to know anything about Anachron's condition, and then she publicly expresses her sympathy in this way. I was appalled. Furthermore, my images are now protected by copyright due to their elaborate production process, which goes beyond AI... but that's just a side note...

"I Did It My Way"
A new exhibition by Aphra Hendrix

📅 Sunday, August 9, 2026
🕛 Noon Grid Time (9:00 PM Berlin Time)

Join me for an evening of art, memories, music, and conversation.

This exhibition is one of my most personal projects. Through childhood photographs, artwork, and visual storytelling, I invite you on a journey through moments that have shaped my life. It is an exhibition about identity, resilience, hope, and finding one's own path.

🎧 Special Guest: Adrian Moon
Live DJ set throughout the evening.

There will even be a dance floor in front of the gallery—because sometimes art speaks to the heart, and the heart feels like dancing.

Everyone who comes with kindness, curiosity, respect, and goodwill is warmly welcome.

One small request: this exhibition is meant to be a peaceful and respectful space. If you come looking for inspiration, conversation, or simply to enjoy the art, I will be delighted to welcome you. If your intention is conflict or personal attacks, this event is probably not the right place.

Let's spend a beautiful evening together, celebrate creativity, and remember that art can build bridges.

I look forward to seeing you.

When We Meet Again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvf0yHeuZG8
We build our walls with silent thoughts,
draw the borders in our hearts.
Between the headlines and the slogans,
fear keeps tearing us apart.
Everyone believes they're right now,
everyone has found the way.
But who still hears the quiet voices
when the noise won't fade away?

When we meet again,
not as strangers, just as souls.
When we learn to truly listen
before judgment takes control.
Maybe peace begins
not in speeches, not in fights.
Maybe it begins so softly,
with a little more human kindness.

Aging hands still long for closeness,
children learn to fear too soon.
Everyone keeps chasing tomorrow,
while the "we" is slowly doomed.
Strangers quickly turn to enemies,
names become symbolic signs.
Yet behind each unfamiliar story
beats a heart just like mine.

When we meet again,
not as strangers, just as souls.
When we learn to truly listen
before judgment takes control.
Maybe peace begins
not in speeches, not in fights.
Maybe it begins so softly,
with a little more human kindness.

No flag ever healed a wounded spirit.
No extreme has mercy shown.
Only bridges built between us
lead us safely back toward home.
Don't forget who we once used to be.
Don't deny what came before.
But tomorrow starts the moment
reconciliation opens doors.

When we meet again,
without fear within our eyes.
When we see not just our differences,
but the hearts beyond the lines.
Then a thousand voices rising
won't build walls anymore.
Hope will guide us through the darkness,
trust believing once more.
Maybe peace begins
not somewhere beyond our sight.
Maybe it begins today...
quietly inside.

Deutsch:
Wenn wir uns wiedersehen

Wir bauen Mauern aus Gedanken,
ziehen Grenzen tief ins Herz.
Zwischen Schlagzeilen und Parolen
wächst aus Angst oft neuer Schmerz.
Jeder glaubt, den Weg zu kennen,
jeder meint, er hätte Recht.
Doch wer hört noch leise Stimmen,
wenn der Lärm die Seele bricht?

Wenn wir uns wiedersehen,
nicht als Gegner, nur als Mensch.
Wenn wir lernen zuzuhören,
bevor das Urteil in uns brennt.
Vielleicht beginnt der Frieden
nicht in Reden, nicht im Streit.
Vielleicht beginnt er leise,
mit etwas mehr Menschlichkeit.

Alte Hände suchen Nähe,
Kinder lernen Misstrauen früh.
Jeder rennt nach seinem Morgen,
doch verliert das Wir dabei.
Fremde werden schnell zu Feinden,
Namen werden zu Symbol'n.
Doch hinter jeder fremden Geschichte
träumt ein Herz vom gleichen Mond.

Wenn wir uns wiedersehen,
nicht als Gegner, nur als Mensch.
Wenn wir lernen zuzuhören,
bevor das Urteil in uns brennt.
Vielleicht beginnt der Frieden
nicht in Reden, nicht im Streit.

Vielleicht beginnt er leise,
mit etwas mehr Menschlichkeit.

Keine Fahne heilt die Wunden.
Kein Extrem kennt Mitgefühl.
Nur die Brücke zwischen Menschen
führt uns aus dem alten Spiel.
Nicht vergessen, wer wir waren.
Nicht verleugnen, was geschah.
Doch die Zukunft wächst erst dort,
wo Versöhnung möglich war.

Wenn wir uns wiedersehen,
ohne Angst im ersten Blick.
Wenn wir nicht nur Unterschiede,
sondern Herzen sehen mit.
Dann wird aus tausend Stimmen
keine Mauer mehr gebaut.
Dann trägt Hoffnung unsere Schritte,
weil Vertrauen wieder glaubt.
Vielleicht beginnt der Frieden
gar nicht irgendwo da draußen.
Vielleicht beginnt er heute –
leise in uns selbst.

I have come across several media reports about cases in which men or transgender women have sought access to women's changing rooms or women's prisons. These reports have raised concerns for me that rules protecting women's spaces should be designed in a way that helps prevent potential misuse. At the same time, I want to make it clear that I distinguish between isolated cases of misuse and transgender people who pose no threat to anyone.

Protected women's spaces are very important to me. They were established to provide women with safety and a place of refuge. For women who have experienced violence or sexual assault, this sense of security can be deeply significant. From my personal perspective, situations in which these spaces are questioned or deliberately used in a provocative way can feel unsettling and distressing.

I hope this discussion can acknowledge the needs of everyone involved. To me, that includes both the dignity and rights of transgender people, as well as the boundaries, lived experiences, and sense of safety of biological women. I do not expect everyone to share my views, but I do hope that my feelings and perspective can also be treated with respect.
