Day 2878, determined.

Books, Daily picture

I watched this interesting video after I read Robert Sapolsky’s latest book, Determined. In a world where there is so much nonsense being proclaimed by people with little knowledge and humility in regard to what they know this video is a breath of fresh air.

Day 2873, wanted.

Daily picture, Poetry
My hand on the door feels closed
while I stared trough this little window
at little mountains and blue skies

it's like the dream I wanted again

Day 2872, looks on.

Daily picture, Poetry
The wind blows the soft snow 
in sharp lines
as if nowhere to go


and the dry winter cold

looks on

Day 2564, river.

Daily picture, Poetry
The cold water was still
thinly frozen
a warmer 
river from the deep
moving up and through
dividing the sea
slowly 
hoping for the spring 
to take her hand 

and over

Day 2563, between

Daily picture, Poetry
The mountains don’t separate 
but the water that falls
from cavers inside
fill the empty sea
between
...

Day 2513, for a.

Daily picture, Poetry

If you are lucky
you might stand still

and look at the world
for a long time
after your summer

Day 2492, the snow was.

Daily picture, Poetry

The snow was falling
in front of a dark background 
the contrast pronounced 

the snow was melting on my skin 
now looking up
I enjoyed it even more
like you do
in those few
first seconds

the snow came down alone
but together they fell
landing on a dark soil 
were only the first

Day 2462, dormant.

Daily picture, Poetry

Bundled together the road markings lie dormant
waiting to be placed when winter is in sight

dormant go we through life
our thoughts bundled together
though winter is still here
we rather feel our way 
through the next corner
around that ravine

Day 2457, going nowhere.

Daily picture, Poetry

The trees look far away 
from here down in the valley 

there is a path to any one of them
but I have no interest in any of them

I just want to get closer
to the half moon
before the world has turned 
again

Day 2150, can only.

Day's pictures, Poetry

It was so quiet

the horizon

it disappeared

together with the sea I was floating in

~

I knew that when I move

the dream would be gone

but I had to

the sea can only take

Day 2124, science.

Day's pictures

I took the picture of today driving back from my first booster shot. I like the effect of the snow and the wet window I was taking my pictures through.
