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: …

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 …

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 …

Learning and growing

I must say, this period here in Denmark has made me grow more than I can express I am a difficult person indeed and I’m pretty opinionated too. ‘Tis the season for thinking back in time and wonder: how could people ever endure a person like me? But then, I do have my good sides …

Truth or white lies?

White lies—because we are so well-mannered, right? and dirty truths—because we love to glee over others’ misfortunes, right? Let's be completely and utterly honest here... of course we can feel very elevated, but are we really, 24/7, so nice? As I read stuff, I realize how each country actually, really, truly thinks it’s ‘the best’. …
