The Spring Date has already been, we have already Easter, we have already April, but it's still cold and we have still snow. It will not become warmer for the next days or weeks. The lake has to wait...
I went through my life and my memories. And I remember some meeting-groups...
1981 the first meeting-group was founded as a mixed group by a teacher for religion, as a project for humanity and tolerance. Only less people from my class were choosen for the group, I was one of them, all the other teenager were not welcome, because they were full of prejudices. Some other teenager came from other schools. We had our meetings every 2 weeks in the afternoon. We played games and we made also little tours. Sure, there were also conflicts, and another girl made me very angry many times. 1985 the group was disbanded, after one of the boys had died. The other boy had managed his life much better, he was also in 2 music-bands, but later he decided to make music only solo and never to play in a band anymore because of intrigues. I can understand him...
1995 I learned to know the weekly open meetings, and 1996 I learned to know also the monthly meetings. In the beginning there were 7-11 people in the monthly meetings, 2004 I had counted once over 25 people, since 2005 less people came, but always enough people. 2008 the team had cancelled the monthly meetings for 1 year, then the team sheduled new meetings every 2 months, but then the team had abolished the meetings forever, because only 2 people came. There are still the weekly meetings in the same environment. In earlier times the meetings were much better and with a friendlier atmosphere. I had known many people, but I don't see them anymore. Many new people have come, and it's not the same for me. But there are 2 people since 1995 and 1997. The man was very friendly in the beginning, since 2002 he is unfriendly very often. He has the opinion, that also people, who want to stay in their home city, have to move to another city. He also ignores the fears of other people (if these people don't want to lose their material goods). And I never liked the other person, the woman. 2003 she yelled at me. I had to tolerate that, although I cannot forgive the people. But 2010 she had yelled at me again, after I had made a little mistake, and she had ruined my mood for that day. Can I tolerate that? No! And I don't understand, why I went still to the weekly meetings, although I didn't do that regularly anymore. I have to make a very difficult decision now, but maybe it's better not to cross the way of these 2 people anymore. I don't know, who of these 2 people should I hate more. One of them will go into retirement in a few years, the other person some years later. Maybe I can come back, if the first person is away from the weekly meetings...
Many years have passed, the times have changed, also for me. I had to learn again, that many things are not forever, also the meeting-points, which were much better many years ago and which have become worse in my eyes...
But then I have to keep my eyes open for new things...
