Paint Over Hate
Sometimes I walk through silent streets
where words are darker than the night.
Black upon cold and weathered walls,
they steal the warmth, they hide the light.

They speak of anger, fear and blame,
of hearts that chose to turn away.
Yet somewhere underneath the noise,
a quiet hope still longs to stay.

How beautiful this world could be
if someone came with brush in hand;
not to erase what once had been,
but gently help us understand.

To paint across the scars of hate
with colors born from kinder dreams;
where every stroke of red means courage,
and every ray of gold still gleams.

With green for every life that's precious,
with blue for peace beyond the sky,
with violet for every soul
that learned to stand instead of cry.

A rainbow cannot change the past,
nor heal each wound in just one day.
But every color we lay down
takes some of hatred's strength away.

And maybe walls would cease to divide,
becoming canvases instead;
where strangers pause, exchange a smile,
and kindness blooms where fear once spread.

For every heart still dares to dream
holds one small brush against the night.
And every gentle act reminds us:

The brightest colors in this world
have always been
stronger than hate. 💜

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Überstreicht den Hass

Manchmal gehe ich durch Straßen,
auf denen Worte Wunden sind.
Schwarz gesprüht auf kalten Mauern,
geboren aus dem Sturm im Wind.

Sie schreien lauter als die Stimmen,
die leise von Versöhnung träumen.
Sie bauen Mauern in den Herzen,
wo Liebe längst begann zu säumen.

Wie schön wär's, wenn wir eines Tages
nicht Hass in grauen Lettern sähen,
sondern Menschen mit einem Pinsel,
die schweigend an die Mauern gehen.

Nicht, um Geschichte auszulöschen,
nicht, um Wahrheit zu verdecken –
nur um den Hass mit bunten Farben
behutsam Stück für Stück zu wecken...

...zu wecken in etwas Neues,
das heller ist als jede Nacht.
In Rot für Mut, in Gelb für Hoffnung,
in Grün, das neues Leben lacht.

In Blau für Frieden, Violett
für Würde, die für jeden gilt.
Bis jeder Pinselstrich bezeugt,
dass Liebe stärker ist als das Bild.

Vielleicht bleibt Hass ein Teil der Welt,
vielleicht verstummt er niemals ganz.
Doch jede Farbe, die wir schenken,
nimmt ihm ein wenig seiner Macht.

Und irgendwann, so träume ich,
steht niemand mehr vor kaltem Stein.
Dann werden Wände nicht mehr trennen –
sie laden alle Menschen ein.

Denn was wäre diese Erde schön,
wenn wir statt Vorurteilen und Leid
den Hass mit Regenbogenfarben
übermalten –
mit Menschlichkeit. 💜

Many of you told me that the walk from the Welcome Area to the gallery inside the pyramid felt a little too long. Thank you all for your thoughtful feedback. It inspired this little oasis.
That is exactly why the bedou-in came to life.
Now there is a place to pause, enjoy a good coffee, take a deep breath, and let the impressions of the photographs and poems settle before continuing your journey.
Enjoy your stay.

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.

Alle an einem Tisch

Manchmal wünsche ich mir
nicht viel.

Kein Recht behalten.
Keine Fahnen,
die höher wehen als das Herz.

Nur einen langen Tisch.

Einen Platz,
an dem niemand zuerst gefragt wird,
woher er kommt,
wen er liebt,
welchen Namen Gott für ihn trägt
oder welche Sprache seine Kindheit hatte.

Nur einen Stuhl.

Und Zeit.

Zeit, einander anzusehen,
ohne Misstrauen in den Augen.
Zeit, ein Lächeln zu teilen,
bevor ein Urteil fällt.

Vielleicht würden wir entdecken,
dass Brot überall gleich duftet.
Dass Kinder überall gleich lachen.
Dass Tränen
keine Religion kennen.

Vielleicht würden wir merken,
wie klein der Abstand zwischen Menschen ist,
wenn niemand Mauern dazwischen baut.

An diesem Tisch
dürfte jeder erzählen.

Von seiner Heimat.
Von seiner Hoffnung.
Von seinem Schmerz.

Und niemand müsste lauter sprechen
als der andere.

Ich weiß,
es ist nur ein Traum.

Aber jeder Frieden
war einmal nichts weiter
als der mutige Wunsch eines Menschen,

dass eines Tages

alle

an einem Tisch sitzen.

Dorena Verne

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All at One Table

Sometimes I don't wish for much.

Not to be right.
No flags waving higher than the heart.

Just a long table.

A place where no one is first asked where they come from, whom they love, what name God has for them, or what language they spoke as a child.

Just a chair.

And time.

Time to look at each other without suspicion in our eyes.
Time to share a smile before judgment is passed.

Perhaps we would discover that bread smells the same everywhere. That children laugh the same everywhere. That tears know no religion.

Perhaps we would realize how small the distance between people is when no one builds walls between them.

At this table, everyone could tell their story.

About their homeland.
About their hope.
About their pain.

And no one would have to speak louder than anyone else.

I know,
it's just a dream.

But every peace
was once nothing more
than the courageous wish of one person,

that one day

everyone

would sit at one table.

Hello everyone, I need some advice from experienced people

I have owned a 1024×1024 region on OSGrid for several years. The region contains about 10 small houses, and 6 residents each own a small parcel around their house.

I am the only person with management rights on the region. However, I rent the hosting from another person, who regularly creates OAR backups.

Today I discovered that all parcels have disappeared. The entire 1024×1024 region is now a single parcel owned by one of the residents, even though that resident originally owned only a very small parcel.

Of course, the OAR I received from my host now reflects the same situation because it was created after this happened.

I haven't logged into OpenSim for several weeks, and I haven't changed any land or region settings for months.

How is it possible for all parcels to disappear and for the whole region to become owned by another resident?

Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

thanks a lot if you can help me to understand :)

Nach dem Anschlag auf dem CSD in Berlin.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschlag_auf_den_Berliner_Ch...
Ich trauere mit den Opfern und Angehörigen dieser grausamen Tat.

Botschaft an alle Rechtswähler:
Also, ich bin links, aber nicht bei den Linken. Ich bin transsexuell und liebe die Farben des Regenbogens.

Und nun die Schockmeldung für euch. Ich bin gegen Einwanderung in dem Maße wo es unmöglich wird die Migranten zu begleiten, zu betreuen. Erstaufnahme bei Flüchtlingen in Not, keine Frage, selbstverständlich. Abschiebung krimineller Ausländer? Aber sicher, nur nicht bevor sie wie jeder andere Straftäter ihre Strafe abgesessen haben. Alles andere würde einem Freispruch gleichkommen.

Gehört der Islam nach Deutschland? Erstmal als Religion grundsätzlich ja, wie eben auch unsere christlichen Kirchen. Radikale Gewaltbereiche Mitglieder innerhalb dieser Gruppen gehören unter Beobachtung und gestoppt. Aber das unabhängig von Religion oder Herkunft.

Oh, jetzt kommt es. Ich stehe zur Antifa, aber verabscheue Gewalt. Was meint ihr strammen Rechtswähler, das geht doch gar nicht, passt nicht? Passt sehr gut. Antifa ist keine geschlossene Organisation mit Parteiprogramm oder ähnlichem. Zunächst einmal in Langform: "Antifaschistische Aktion", das bedeutet Diskussionen, auch Demonstrationen, politisch gegen faschistische Strömungen arbeiten. Gewalt? Da die Antifa eben keine in sich geschlossene Organisation ist, gibt es da auch bedauerlicherweise Gruppierungen autonomer gewaltbereiter Akteure, die sich mit dem Antifa-Logo schmücken. Macht uns das dann alle gleich zu einer linksextremen Terrorgruppe? Ihr könnt ja mal darüber nachdenken...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the attack at the Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschlag_auf_den_Berliner_Ch...
I mourn with the victims and their families of this horrific act.

A message to all right-wing voters:
So, I'm left-wing, but not with the Left Party. I'm transgender and I love the colors of the rainbow.

And now for the shocking news. I'm against immigration to the extent that it becomes impossible to support and care for migrants. Initial reception for refugees in need, no question, of course. Deportation of criminal foreigners? Absolutely, but not before they've served their sentence like any other offender. Anything else would be tantamount to an acquittal.

Does Islam belong in Germany? First of all, as a religion, yes, just like our Christian churches. Radical groups and their members should be monitored and stopped. But that's regardless of religion or origin.

Oh, here it comes. I support Antifa, but I abhor violence. What do you staunch right-wing voters think? That's completely unacceptable, doesn't fit? It fits perfectly. Antifa isn't a closed organization with a party platform or anything like that. First of all, in full: "Antifascist Action," which means discussions, including demonstrations, working politically against fascist movements. Violence? Since Antifa isn't a closed organization, there are unfortunately also groups of autonomous, violence-prone actors who adorn themselves with the Antifa logo. Does that automatically make us all a left-wing extremist terrorist group? You can think about that for a moment...
