No need to fear…

There is no need to fear tyrants anymore. This is a new world, defined by our Light, and shadows only exist because something is blocking the light temporarily. Even the

Facing the void…

— FOR FRED — I used to think I know how to grieve; I thought I had it all worked out. Of course, Life never allows us to have anything

Everything is given…

It is such a human trait, this desire to have, to be, to own, to “get” somewhere. We spend lifetimes either fighting the way things are or simply wishing for

Always more…

Why do we always want more? Why are we so good in complaining and being unhappy and demanding “more”? More of what? What is it that we lack so much

God made visible

I was sitting by a lake with a new friend I share an eternal connection with, just breathing, just being. The lake was peaceful in the early morning light, smooth

Ghosts of the alphabet

The words pulled me in, as they often do. I couldn’t stop reading, line after line of emotions, struggle, hope and faith running between my brain and my heart. From

The peaceful deep…

I am the bravest person I know, but I can be such a coward sometimes. I can jump of the bridge or fearlessly go into a war zone, but I

It all comes down to her…

Life flows, as it always does. Days go by, months line up, nature changes in it’s seasons, days become longer; people come in and out of my life. It’s only

We are free…

I walked towards my new home, burdened by thoughts about work, money, projects, plans and desires. I was caught up in the whirlpool of worries, unaware of the moment, or

Never mine…

Fresh Spring night offered itself to me, inviting and mysterious as any other, but somehow more open and lovely. Maybe it was the cherry tree blossoming in front of my

The mistery (and difficulty) of being yourself…

30 minutes

The bus station was a crowded, loud place, but I saw nothing but her. I was aware of murmur of movement outside out own personal bubble, but I didn’t care

Apatheia

We lay on the bed, facing each other in a beautiful air of silence. I felt my heartbeats, peaceful and steady and deep and somehow connected with hers; her long

Sweet things in life…

A very personal list. 15 years ago I started with the list of things that make me smile; things that make me wonder about Life and people –  sweet things

The nature of things…

Abandon your dreams…

It is a crazy world out there. Time relentlessly moves ahead, we grow older and have less and less time to fulfill our dreams. Well, it feels that way to

Someone else’s sorrow…

Sometimes, emotions just wash over me. There is no warning, there are no silent signs  – something rises from the depths of my old, battered soul, and takes over everything

Hold on, we’re going home…

My friends, my companions, my brave soldiers  of Life. We shared the pain, persistence, adventures and confusion. We sailed through horrible years of learning through mistakes and experience. It was an

To everyone I have ever met…

To everyone I have ever met, and failed to live up to their expectations, especially if I did something to encourage them, I apologize. To every person I ever made

The Ark

A gentle gust of the wind moved a strand of his long, white hair over his face. His gaze was firmly set towards the setting sun as if he was soaking

Traces of happines

We see it everywhere, but mostly ignore it, or chose not to make a big deal out of it. After all, they are only small fragments of something we all

My senses, overwhelmed…

She closed her eyes as the music started, intertwining her own essence with the sweet unity of sound, tempo and passion. With the first step, she opened her eyes and

Thoughts swirling…

I woke up with thoughts swirling through my head. Just thoughts, random groups of thought about people I know, people I knew an people I will get to know. Things

Faded into her…

It was late when I spotted her for the first time. The party way winding down, small groups of people leaving to places with more late-night appeal; half-finished wine glasses

Sometimes souls touch…

Sometimes souls touch. We pass by, shifting through everydays of our lives, and we stumble upon someone special. It’s an instant thing, it happens within a heartbeat, and we need

Forever alone…

I woke up into the night’s deepest darkness. I dreamed. You are gone and I’m forever alone. For thousands of days we shared our breaths and I have never had

The beauty of limited time…

Why do you write about death so much? – she asked me. I gave her my best what-are-you-talking-about look and just smiled. I never realised that, but it really might
