"For me love means letting go of the control of mind. Be open to feel. Its not only to give love to others around me its also to let go and be loved. Love is to take off some of the guards and shields, so others can love you and you can feel the love.

///

What I really love about my community: I feel very free, completly acceptable the way I am in the daily life. I dont need to do anything to maintain the community, I choose what I want to do and I never had any conflicts about that. I never felt so accepted, it helps to be more yourself, more true to yourself and just be. If you go back to what love does mean: that the best is to let go and feel relaxed and free."

"You never understand love, you feel love. Love is a feeling. Its a very special connection that creates itself by feeling. You dont say: ah ok, I will hug this person. You say: I want to or I feel like I want to hug this person. Its something in the unknown, somewhere above the stomach. Three cm above the stomach and five cm next to the heart, somewhere there in between.

The strongest meaning of community is many people working together and doing for the place they are living in. Each one with ones passion and with ones ideas. Slowly the people are craeting it, it comes from the people, nobody is sitting on top and its always welcoming."
