Overcoming obstacles

Its been one of those days today.

blurred trær

like…suddenly feeling there is warming sunshine behind the blur and many more summers to come and just now right here the only thing to do is smile and do the work and get on with it.

And so I did. And so all day people have been smiling at me for no reason at all. And been really friendly and helpful and accomodating. Nice. Thank you! There are beautiful mondays too!

Many moons…

…and lots of water under the bridge since last post. Still in Oslo in what seems to be a mild winter with beautiful colours… Havnepromenade 17 november 2013 042

This is the new city area “Bjørvika” with its distinct design-theme called “Barcode” and the new operahouse in the foreground.

There are still some older features to be seen behind the scenes: a still actively working fishing boat, a piece of loading equipment now at rest…

Havnepromenade 17 november 2013 011 A ramp to load things by that by now probably is totally lost and forgotten…?

Havnepromenade 17 november 2013 038 and a really rusty…well, to call it a boat is perhaps not the right thing… anyhow, it still floats, still put to good use and made quite extraordinarily beautiful through how its body works the rays of the low winter sun.

I find all this very interesting. old. new. discarded. reused. moved around, shuffled. its amazingly dynamic and quiet at the same time. Sunday afternoon and all is resting. And above it all the seagulls play in silence. My heart and soul feels strenghtened walking by the ocean like this. My body too.  Embracing presence walking swiftly,slowly lingering, jumping between the discarded railwaylines, over poodles of water from last days rain... Nice. Humble aliveness, no pretence. Also this is wilderness.
