Moving in Mind

”The lonely way to find what’s important to find” – I think spontaneously looking att the photo – passing the ones that don’t seek or not know that there is something important to find.

so many feet
passing – lika all my thoughts
moving in mind
this road of many expressions
from outside as well as inside

I imagine that at the same time it’s a journey when walking – it also is a journey for thoughts – handling expressions what you see/meet and what you feel/reflect about.

I imagine it is quite turbulent at times.

Ctrl Del

I cannot help smiling when reading about ”beyond control” and Chevrefeuille’s problem. Sorry Kristjaan 😉 I’m thinking about when I deleted my first hard-disc about 20 years ago. I went to one of my IT Gurus to get it restored. He said to me:

– Freshly dared half erased! The world will not succumb!

This had a great impact on me. It always can be fixed. Now my son is my Gury. He started to work very young with these technical boys. They also had the first BBS in Sweden (I think in all Scandinavia). We got our first computer an IBM 1980. That’s when my son started to learn programming – by himself.
Before that it was Fax – when connecting to the world – do you remember?
It’s fun to be part of the early days.

My Mac, my miniPad and my iPhone are very important to me. I must have ”back-ups” of all kinds to secure. But ….

wandering my way
puzzled by life and html
ctrl del
every way or track I enter – want to
find what’s worth learning

… beyond control … I lay back and live life a bit more intensive … and then I take control again. I’m very persistent and solution-focused when I decide to.
One could say – I have learnt by life – lessons – the hard as well as the easy way – and I’m still learning – love to learn ❤

Now I would like to add a quote I read yesterday in Forestbather’s blog. I think you understand why …. 😉 Hamish I hope you don’t mind?

Quote - Miyamoto Musashi
I try too … but sometimes …. I fail ….

Walking with Mosquitos

When I read about the struggle today I was reminded about my walk along Kungsleden in north of Sweden. It was 1968. We started in Abisko and passed our highest mountain Kebnekajse. So beautiful and so interesting. Most of all I remember the people we met. Some happy Austrian men in Tyroler lederhosen – drinking and singing, a bunch of young men we got a lot of fishes when fishing together and had a nice evening grilling and that lovely Danish young couple – they had brought tins with delicious food, crabs and things like that. Heavy to carry. We had army food in our backpack. Typical Danish – they like to enjoy life. I love that. Like ”You only live once”. And finally at Kebnekajse ….

along the road
so many refreshing souls
fresh trout and char
forgetting the struggle
to fully enjoy life

… we spent the night with an old mountain man in a little cabin. With a nice fireplace. He could tell me why my eyes were so swollen. And he gave me a good advice about mosquitos. Mosquitos love me – I hate them. It doesn’t help with garlic! But it helps with tar. I love tar! In summertimes I must have my tar cream – in case of mosquitos in a radius of several (Swedish) miles. It will keep them away.
I remember my uncle used tar (tjära) when a hen was hurt due to hacked in the back.

I Promise

I also think everybody do some meditation from time to time. Some need to have guided meditation and some don’t. Some need structure and some don’t.
I think meditation is – I mean – meditation for me is to place myself on a kind of meta-spot above everything that is going on around. It’s like making yourself invisible. I’m fortunate – cause I can do it wherever I am – ‘disappear’ into my own world of thinking – meditating. Close my eyes …
And I like it.

I promise
when hands. heart and thoughts go
for peace in mind
you will like the colors
and no longer see the mist

I heard you talking. I heard about your dreams. I’m sad about the false. That is something that from now on – is ”was”. The most important is ”now” – from now on.
How would you like it to turn out?
Life is now – B i r g i t t a – you owe yourself to make it the best.

”cause – you’re worth it” 😉

Feelers on Wall in Atmosphere.

Interesting subject indeed. Something I feel a lot of respect towards – Intuition. Like living life with a kind of atmosphere around you – just like earth. A kind of feelers for us humans if you want and if you get yourself the ability to acknowledge. Also it can work like a kind of scaffolders supporting you. Therefor – in my way of thinking …

thinking about
while it soon will appear
to me or you

… the awareness of your feelers, health of your atmosphere and the stability of your scaffolders determine wether the intuition works. It has nothing to do with other people. It’s for you – yourself – to develop.

I can only say – You are worth it!

Ps. Now I will read what Chèvrefeuille writes about intuition.

Förmågan – Verkligen Begripa

Tänk att 23, 5º kan vara så viktigt för jorden! Det är ett lågt tal. Tack vare månen. Annars skulle det varit 45º och regnskogarna skulle plötsligt kunna täckas av is. Med 23, 5º får vi precis lagom årstider. Visst är det fantastiskt!

swaying around
not always as that merry-like
carrousel

I jordens begynnelse var dygnet 5 timmar. Enorma översvämningar hela tiden.

När jag tänker på jorden i det stora och jorden i vårt lilla …. blir jag ofta ilsk på människors trångsinta uppfattningar. Senast bedrägeriet angående dieselbilar. De skulle vara så bra för miljön. Nu utlyses begränsningar för användning.
Jag är övertygad om att det framöver kommer att visa sig att människor har lika korkade uppfattningar idag – om viktiga områden – som på tiden när man trodde att jorden var platt.

Up and Down

”The river was swollen with the rains and our journey was a perilous one.” page 63
A HAIKU journey – Bashõ’s Narrow Road to a Far Province transl. Dorothy Britten.

”Gathering as it goes
All the rains of June, how swiftly
The Mogami flows!” Matsuo Bashõ 1644-1694

Mästaren av HAIKU. Han förde upp HAIKU poesin på en högre nivå. Jag har precis lånat två böcker för att riktigt insupa hans anda. Så gott jag kan.

När jag började skriva HAIKU höll jag mig strikt till 5-7-5 eller 3-5-3. När jag kände att jag fått lite kläm på skrivandet gjorde jag mig fri från det strikta och fick så mycket fin respons och feedback.

Just nu är jag helt såld på …. HAIKU – TANKA – HAIBUN … och vill utveckla mig i mitt skrivande. En extra utmaning blir det att skriva på engelska. För att sporra mig deltar jag i en utmaning i HAIKU och dels inspireras/svarar jag på HAIKU som Lize Bard (pseudonym) skriver i SydAfrika. En slags stafettskrivning som jag gillar mycket. De finns under kategori ”inspired”. Lize skriver fantastiskt fina HAIKU.

words of poetry
our flood – flowing in the air
up and down

Jag både inspireras och njuter av alla kontakter ute i världen.

Likt Bashõs flödande Mogami flod – flödar även allas vårt skrivande.

High … really!

Such a beautiful picture! Amazing landscape. A place on earth where I could wish to die – when it is time – but not now.
Captivating and feeling the colors, the highlands touching the sky – it’s like poetry …

the highland sky road
worthy my feet – only if my heart
feel the beauty

… and also captivating in its mighty desolation. Such places are to me – as I believe churches are to religious people.

My little Daisy – The Tibetan – in the Highlands of Norway. She loved it and so did I. Some years ago. Miss you ❤

The Way you Live

Well well well … I don’t know what to say about this story! First I thought:

-Why all this about God and religion!? That’s not interesting at all! Just boring!

the way you live
your life will tell about your need
for penitence

Interesting is life and life philosophy! No need for a God!
It shouldn’t be … in the time we live …

I probably sound harsh and tough talking about religion … so destructive, suppressing and inhibitory to people. I’m sorry – I’m not humble in this issue 🙂

Make a Wish – Hang it in Tree

On the City Center square – called ”Stortorget” – an igloo was placed. With pink inviting light. Pink iPhoto - Igloo, Lund Sweden

The purpose was …

a piece of paper
to place some wishes – odd
dangling in trees

… let people write a wish on a paper and then hang it on a tree inside. Well what to say about this!

Make a Wish – Hang it in Tree – Then WHAT!?

If it had been something for children I could think about it as creative. Now I only find it ridiculous and nothing the community should take time for or spend money on. Better to make the transport service to work for our old ones – thinking about yesterday.
