"Reconsider money and fame"

-

"If the mystic succeeds he has everything he needs -
even if he should become an outcast of society.
In case he fails he fails entirely, totally and miserably.
Nothing to hold on to: no funds tucked away, no lobby,
no social network to fall back on, no craft or science
in which he can be called an expert. Only the soul -
ah, but the soul went out of fashion sometime
in the late 2oth century..."

(From "Letter to an American friend" , Summer 2000)

-

"Every day it rains
on the jasmin blossoms
and yet
the jasmin blossoms
unperturbed"

(Haiku early summer 2000 - Ungererstrasse 108, Munich)

-

"Who was that man who walked away
(who just got up and simply walked away)?"

(Songline - from a song about a God-intoxicated person - 1982)

-

What is a racist?

"A racist is someone who makes a pre-selection with persons
in any context - political, cultural or personal, in a racial, religious, tribal, national or sexual context - in a positiv or negativ sense."

Al Gromer Khan 2001

-

"Oh geliebter Freund, warum hast Du mein Gesicht geschwärzt -
was soll ich nur tun?"

Amir Khusrao

-

"Wenn eine Person anfängt, die Umstände anstatt sich selbst zu vervollkommnen, kehrt sich das Ideal ins Gegenteil."

Al Gromer Khan Winter 2003

-

"We ring our world with flowers as the other world decays"

David Ackles
