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 …

The closing of a circle

Wow, do you sometimes ‘know’ a cycle has ended and all is fine? I am waking up to a new, fresh life now, it's quite fantastic. Life has its snarled ways, but every once in a while I can feel like I’m on the top of a hill, looking down toward a placid valley of …

Being wrong

I am - I think - the greatest wrong person on Earth... 😉 If it isn’t exaggerated, I’ll also accept any banter or criticism of me, it’s fine, really! Danes are (they think, do you?) renowned for their banter, and one does get a lot of it. It’s actually funny, so I laugh heartily especially …

Remaining focused during the ‘lock-open’

So! Tomorrow things are opening up and together with many people around I will celebrate by going out. So far, so good. We’ve survived the virus, fortunately, it was next to nothing here in Randers where I live, but the future will show whether it will stay like that or change. I am not a …

I thought I had lost my magic

Really! It must be the quarantine because today I was shown in different ways that NO! The good vibes are still helping me and holding their hands above my head. Indeed. First I went down to the local paint and gallery shop and picked up some free frames (who doesn’t want free frames?) he was …

The Queen’s birthday

This week it was the Danish Queen’s birthday and if you don’t know more you might think: well, just another Queen. But she is unique, charming, cultured, intelligent, special, and very deeply loved here. I wasn’t there when she was born: I’m way younger. I wasn’t there when she turned 18, I was already in …

When the lights go off

One is living the ‘perfect’ life until… one discovers that the lights went off. And so did I, after years here in my new home, I found my light had gone off. The world had gone dark, my spark was… where? I thought I had it right here! I went about a few days thinking …

The silence of a Winter – Morte a Venezia

This may look like Denmark in the Winter but isn’t. Believe it or not, it’s Venezia, in one of those luminous but grey winter days.  Behind those dreary whitish skies is the Sun, illuminating all with a certain sadness. Venezia was for me the town of melancholy and loneliness. Because that is Venezia during the …

Is it too late to live by the heart?

Tonight I was listening to this interview with Dianne Bischoff James. Actually it’s not the first time I hear it, but for some reason this time it hit home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqFvqs8rTe8&feature=youtu.be I did change my life 360 degrees, but was it too late?  I know it was not really my destiny to remain in my situation …

When bleak is the new black

Hello day! Winters in Denmark are truly long and dark. But February is here and we have gained a tad more than an hour of daylight, it makes an immense difference. One truly learns to be grateful for every second of daylight. And I’m beginning to understand the obsession they have here for candles and …
