A Good-Hearted Philosophy
I say: Beware!
B E W A R E
About all kinds of some people’s doctrines! Religions.
You know there has been so any Gods along times. Gods made up by people. People in need to get themselves some explanations about world and life. Week people. Yes week because they didn’t had the ability to think on a higher level. And then they experienced they could get hold of the mass – just by that made up religion!
B E W A R E!
I myself find Richard Dawkins very interesting. Reason rules for him … and science. So it is for me. Take care of your open mind – reflect – be humble – and aware – beware – … don’t be ”taken over”!
“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” ― Richard Dawkins

Checking In
in my heart
I see you checking – into
arms open
I made a a pseudonym for me and at that place I put my best HAIKU about life and love.
Men Kämpig
Vilken tid! Då bodde jag med min familj i Abu Dhabi och Dubai. Då startade jag en modebutik i Kävlinge – av alla platser. Butiken gav jag namnet Step in Style. Jag sålde märkeskläder – Getti Spa, X-it, Boomerang, Dobber, Lee … Jag hann både starta och sälja butiken. Sedan flyttade vi till Bjäre för ekologisk odling. Jag skaffade första efterlängtade egna hunden och första hästen. Goliath en riesenschnauzer och Mia en vacker nordsvensk. Det var en spännande tid där mycket hände under en kort tidsrymd. Katter hade vi också förstås. Ulle-Missan som var yngsta dotterns samt Assi. Samt Cirkus som vi trodde var en kattpojk tills hon fick ungar. En underbar tid. Så oerhört intressant med ovärderliga erfarenheter. Men kämpig!
oh la la
that fashion – huge
shoulder pads
Tror till och med att jag hann ta ett steg in i politiken innan 90-talet startade. Det gjorde jag eftersom jag påtagligt upplevde bristen på barnperspektiv i de politiska besluten som rörde mina elever. Vilken erfarenhet! Alla borde göra några år inom den praktiska kommunala politiken! Man får ovärderlig erfarenhet omkring hur samhällsfunktionerna fungerar … eller inte fungerar.
Fax, telex och sedan köptes också första datorn till företaget. Sonen skapade musik på datorn och jag skötte ekonomin i tre aktiebolag. Himmel! Fick köpa till minne till datorn ideligen.
Skrivpuff: 80-talet.
Heaven and Earth
A new future – it works well with my release. I have not forgotten that I promised where in the world I would like to go and live …. if …
I like dreaming – but not in pink clouds – it must have a touch of reality – perhaps imagine is a better word than dreaming? Or … I like to picture?
I like to imagine … how it would like … if … I even like the word ‘if’ …
if imagine
picturing that far away – new life
namasté
said and done – aborigines
sharing heaven and earth
I find the greeting ‘namasté’ beautiful and humble. It works very well without a God. We are one and equal. Sun and Moon. Heaven and Earth.
Humble and powerful at the same time. Neither subservient or superior.
that haka
filled with spiritual power
meeting
that namasté so humble
like a fire in the calm sea bay
Did you notice I gave a clue? Do you know about haka?
We are coming closer. But it’s so far away. A beautiful country with exciting nature. And also so interesting people. And all that special kind of tattoos. Telling a story and so personal done. It’s not like here where you go to the tattoo artist and say you want a tiger on your arm. There the tattoo says something spiritual and special about that specific person.
So when I go to New Zealand I must get to know an aborigine tattoo artist … and very well … and then hopefully … he will give me … my special tattoo.
I will probably live on the North Island and in or close to maori area.
Why New Zealand?
I just find it so immensely interesting.
Imagine a really nice kind of living in nice climate and with inexhaustible opportunities for discovery and adventure. Hopefully its not expensive to live there.

What kind of dog am I?
Du är en gatukorsning!
Du är konstnär och rebell samtidigt och kan inte sorteras in i något fack. Tack vare din utpräglade livserfarenhet kan du glänsa med hundratals berättelser på alla fester. Dessutom är du söt och har det där extra som gör dig oemotståndlig.

You are an intersection! (street crossing we say in Sweden)
You are an artist and rebel at the same time and can not be sorted into any compartment. Thanks to your distinctive life experience can shine with hundreds of stories on all the parties. Also, you are sweet and has that special something that makes you irresistible.

Loving to Love and Live
Beautiful HAIKU by ©Chèvrefeuille
ancient warriors
between battle and peace
writing haiku
Warriors – how odd it can be – are symbols of opposites – bad and good – death and life – force and romance – …
Samurais are warriors – I wonder if they are associated with romance in the Japanese litteratur?
I have often wondered why women – some – are attracted to bad warriors. Once I wrote a letter to a man in prison. I knew who he was and I felt sorry for him. I don’t remember what he had done but it wasn’t anything like murder. There are many women writing to men in prisons – often they don’t know them. Why? Many women fall in love with gang members. Brutal men. Why?
Why don’t they set limits for behavior and actions!? I did when I was young.
the warrior
in true life of living – takes
action for love
Now maybe you think I have left my limits behind?
Some of them I have … some of them were to restrictive … some are still convenient.
I have let myself free – much more free than I was when young. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
my warrior
in possession of – a heart
I can read
clearly – the gentle kindness
about loving to – love and live
Imagine … if all soldiers and warriors … were fighting for more kindness and mor genuin love … fighting for …
… more of … Loving to Love and Live …
Imagine!
I tried to translate Lars Winnebäcks ”No Soldier” to English … this is the most beautiful peace song ever written … I think. Here is his song and my translation.

Calling for Change
When I read … or when doing my walk-abouts … I often get a lot of pictures in my head. Sometimes also haiku is popping up … sometimes in a frequency faster than I hardly can handle … I like this so much! It’s entertaining … my imagination is living a lively life …
Now I am reading this interesting about Tokyo – Edo … and my thoughts go to Orkney … that summer when we traveled around in north Scotland and also Orkney …
Orkney with it’s ancient interesting history and that Orkney with so powerful nature and strong sea … That strong sea there … made me wish …
calling old island
wanting to catch – the power of
moving mountains
… yes I think it sounds crazy … but however … I would like to live (safely) through one winter … in an old cottage … with a warming fire place … and windows with views … to see the furious sea moving these giant boulders …
Like living in ‘the power of nature’ … I would write that winter … and probably draw pictures too.
Oh these interesting islands … Japan … Orkney … Gotland in Sweden … and you guessed Galapagos, Tahiti … or did you mean Haiti? … so far away …
… yes so far away … where to I am dreaming about … and you are trying to figure out … there you find a mix of nature … the power of nature … the beauty of nature … its peoples creativity … and something more … I find important … for mind and living …
A completely change from now.
Would you like to … have the guts to … completely … change your life?
one life – a seed
among all the other – how
grow well together
one option – living by/in nature
slowly erasing – the other
I always strive to make – my HAIKU and my TANKA – with more than one possible interpretations.
On our Scotland journey my youngest daughter wrote a story about ”Oban”. While I – as always – on travel … made up my life if living ”here” …
In old church, Orkney.

Waves in Body
Memorable Kiss
I also want to see Matsuo Basho as my master of haiku.
a day of quiet gladness,
Mount Fuji is veiled
In misty rain. © Basho
I have had this kind of day today – a day of gladness – together with my oldest grandchild. Not exactly quiet but in great and deep confidence about life and sharing. Talking about important issues and feelings. In connection characterized by love and understanding. The most important life values I can imagine. How thankful I can be – and I am.
Everybody reflect about the question:
What’s the meaning of life?
My answer is:
To raise children who takes (very) good care of their – also other’s – children and raise them to good and caring humans.
… oh my wonderful grandchildren … oh my dear children … you have done so well!
above all tops
no mountain can reach – true
humanity to find
I have my two worlds and I am so thankful for them. My roots in Sweden – so very deep – I can follow back when starting the records – early 1600. And my step out into the gem of Europe – center of culture and performing arts – a ”melting pot of all people” – as I see Budapest in Hungary. As you know I find people outstanding the most interesting .. and in Budapest I can mingle anonymously as much as I ever want. I love it! I appreciate it so much. Soon I will take off again! Lots of events planned.
But … I think you would never guess where in our world I would like to move if I could have my inner wish come true …. Try! … You have a chance to guess now.
dear mountain
keeping a mother’s deepest
of all truth
… and I promise my warmest hug and a memorable kiss for the right answer!
