The voyage to death

There is a time to live, and a time to die But what is important, IMHO, is never to deny facts, never to avoid talking about death, nor avoid witnessing it I did this voyage with my mother when death started approaching her. Fortunately, it took quite a while, we had time to fully experience …

The journey is the destination

I was listening to a video interview of Bashar (bashar.org) and he said: "the Journey is the Destination". I couldn’t agree more. We are all journeying, learning, experiencing, living and instead of focusing on some vague ‘destination’ we are aiming for, I think it is important to concentrate on the voyage. My Mom would laugh: …

When science is not safe

https://youtu.be/SkXyCoUCeK0 Risky Products In The Edwardian Household | Absolute History I’ve been watching a series of ‘safe’ videos, meaning those where I had no particular reason to doubt the veracity of their content.  One has to be very, very careful today, click baits, and negative contents are being very freely promoted, most often without any …

Being Danish

I have come home, and for some reason, I think that as a soul I had chosen to be born here, in this strange and small country.  Yet I ended up living abroad most of my life. And tonight I was in my local church, listening to 2 splendid choirs singing, and really: I could …

Getting old is wonderful

I was just listening to the new, 2020 Italian hits, because well, I’m so Italian too. And French, and English and… oh well. I’m also Danish now, at last. But I couldn’t help thinking about all those young talents I hear singing, some of which are really great. They have their whole life ahead to …

Stages of awakening

I realize now that I’ve been going through stages of awakening, and my trigger was the death of my mother. There is an uncanny thing about such an episode: one is now really, really alone in life. No-one, not friends, siblings, husbands, or others can help out. One has to get acquainted with being ‘alone’ …

The death of empires and civilizations

Indian Summers - "Imperiets sensommer" in Danish - A drama series where one wonders: how could it be allowed? It is very transparent when viewed with today’s eyes! At times I binge watch old somethings on the  Danish State TV, which I can see on the internet as I have no tv nor want one. …

Karma can be dealt with today

I know, karma is usually something we are supposed to ‘get’ in our next lifetimes. But what if it happens immediately? In my life, I have experienced a kind of zero-lag in karma. Meaning the next lesson to learn happens in this lifetime. This has happened to me several times now, like packing ten lifetimes …

I never thought I’d be similar to my father

I often wake up at dawn, maybe I should be a good girl and get up to sit and meditate and all that Jazz. Instead, I go back to bed and continue sleeping, night owl as I am.  But as I walk by my kitchen, I see out the window and watch the sky and …

Ego and living in a small town

I live in a small countryside town, and of course ‘people’ seem to know me and speak around, it’s gossiping galore, I guess. But I come from huge towns, so I don’t mind nor care. It’s just funny to observe, and if one were to bow to the social pressure, one would never get up …
