30/4 - feels like hay

Want a quick listen? 🌾 Sometimes the hay is tall and the meadow goes on for miles. The sun burns your big toes sticking out of your torn boots. And you're thirsty for young dreams in light sandals and summer dress. You see shadow under a tree. You hear lungs calling for rest. But still you keep going. There's something you simply can't live without. You may not know what. But it's that something unknown that's the motive you carry and reason you hold. Behind the next hill. M

In my own idea of time

In my own idea of time

I'm on mountain top when I think these words. A small one. In fact, only a hill. I can see the houses, starting only hundred meter further down, and stretching out like a carpet of cement-boxes, all the way over to the other mountain. A low and constant high frequency hum from the morning rush fills the elsewise quiet air. Just as I reach the top, the sun surprise me. Now the wet grass shimmers as gold and the winter-grey wood is a paradise. I sat down on a rock and followed

Here's a tip

Here's a tip

Here's a tip. It's not new nor extraordinary, but it might make you feel extraordinarily great. The tip: Leave your phone and your earplugs and go out in the woods. You see, I told you, it is nothing extraordinary. But, when was last time you did that? I've always said that "I love nature". I do. Yet, find myself sitting inside almost all day, trying to force myself to practice or do something "important". I want to go skiing, I want to go hiking, I want to sleep outside, I w

GRØN

Den får ein til å kjenna ting ein ikkje kan forklara. Det er skjønnheit som ikkje kan igjenskapast. Det er nuet som gir av seg sjølv, som inspirerar til å leva livet. Tanken på å kunna leva utan eksisterer ikkje. Det er naturen. Eg elskar den. Eg vil vera i den heile tida. Eg vil at heile verda skal sjå dens prakt og makt, og forstå at ingenting men alt betyr noko. Eg har ein liten bakketopp som er min. Eg går der nesten kvar dag, og berre står der litt. Ingen veit at den er

A green future?

A green future?

...It’s been almost a week since the election here in Norway. Since then I’ve felt a need to write something. I feel like I should say something; speak a little loader and come with some wise words about democracy and equality. The problem is that I feel a little empty, and don’t really know where to start… I’ve never been too engaged in the election, else then making sure I vote for the party I support. This year’s election, however, has been different. The main reason why I

What matters to me

What matters to me

I've always been strongly attached to nature. Outdoor is where I find pease, joy, understanding, and comfort. It's something magic about mornings; a new in front of you, clean and ready to be filled with whatever you may put into it. It's also something special with evenings; seeing the sun set behind a hill or down in the see... closing the day off. Ready to rest. As a call and respond to my self regarding this, I wrote this song called "In the evening". I recorded it and pu
