    patience is not just a virtue, but a main ingredie patience is not just a virtue, but a main ingredient in following your heart
    most people say that when the sun is shining, it's most people say that when the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day. And a part of me agrees. but there is also a part of me that feel joy and a deep calm on days that are cloudy and foggy, wet and cold. those days are just as beautiful to me.

the same is true for collaborative work. while doing something alone allows us more control, it can also be very limiting in creativity, talents and perspective - aside from being boring and lonely. and usually it's only faster/easier in the short term. as soon as we want to build something more sustainable, we can't do it on our own. We need others, even if that means that we might need to deal with all the challenges that come along.

so I do enjoy the sunny, easy time, but to go far, I need to embrace the fog or rain or storm just as much. I need to face the challenges that might come up working together. because only the polarities of easy and hard, warm and cold, bright and murky  make the journey complete, whole, healthy and alive.

Die meisten Menschen sagen, wenn die Sonne scheint, ist es ein schöner Tag. Ein Teil von mir stimmt dem zu. aber es gibt auch einen Teil von mir, der an bewälkten, nebligen, nassen und kalten Tagen Freude und eine tiefe Ruhe empfindet. Diese Tage sind für mich genauso schön.

Das Gleiche gilt für die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen. wenn wir etwas alleine machen, haben wir zwar mehr Kontrolle, aber es kann auch sehr einschränkend sein, was Kreativität, Talente und Perspektiven angeht - abgesehen davon, dass es langweilig und einsam ist. und normalerweise ist es nur kurzfristig schneller/einfacher. sobald wir etwas Nachhaltigeres aufbauen wollen, können wir das nicht alleine tun. Wir brauchen andere, auch wenn das bedeutet, dass wir uns vielleicht mit all den Herausforderungen auseinandersetzen müssen, die damit einhergehen.

Ich genieße also die sonnige, leichte Zeit, aber wenn ich weit kommen will, muss ich auch den Nebel, den Regen oder den Sturm in Kauf nehmen. Denn nur die Polaritäten von leicht und schwer, warm und kalt, klar und trüb machen die Reise vollständig, allumfassend, gesund und lebendig.

    how creative flow works for me: I've wanted to bui how creative flow works for me: I've wanted to build some shelves for at least half a year if not longer. but it never happened. and then, all of a sudden it just hit me. I jumped up and did it. no resistance. no pushing. just flow and happiness. and that's what people see and applaud. but it also needed all the time before where I needed to remind myself that apparently it's not time yet. that I need to relax and trust and let go of all the ideas of how it should be. and now it is. like magic.

    giving up comfort and winning in richness of life giving up comfort and winning in richness of life

Even though I feel very drawn to living outside in the forest, there is also a part of me that feels very drawn to the inside. And I have to admit that it's not only because I also love play-working with computers. It is also the comfort that draws me in again and again. And then I need a kick in the butt (either by myself or by others) to actually go outside and stay there for longer. To remember what I'm losing when I'm indoors.

Even though I've had my partly finished terrace now for more than two months, some nights ago was the first time I actually slept outside on it. and right the next night I already found reasons, why I can't do it again, even though it was so enriching the night before. There came thoughts like "my back forgot again how to sleep on hard surfaces", and "there is a thunderstorm". but I'm glad I did.

Yes, my back was still not [100](tel:100)% comfortable, but there is something inside of me that deeply reacts to sleeping in a place without walls to separate me from my naturally living surroundings. It is something I can't explain, but feel deeply inside of me. It builds connection and relationship to all that is around me. It is the difference between visiting someone or living together with them.

And I'm full of gratitude for being able to live together with all the different plants and rocks and animals and fungi that are around me. It is a precious gift that I way too often forget to honor.

    fire has always been very central to my life, and fire has always been very central to my life, and I think to human life in general. For me, it gives me inner and outer warmth and focus.

When I had to heat my place with an electric heater, it was keeping me from freezing, but that was it. Only when I started heating my new place with the woods Tove did I realize, how much wood fire heat feels different and I would change it for the world!

    fall is finally here Today I woke up to a beautif fall is finally here

Today I woke up to a beautiful fall energy. With fog and wetness and fallen leaves. I love that time of year,even if it came so late this time. it calms everything down. Puts a blanket over it. Reminds us to turn inward…

And even though I still have some work to do on my house before I can go into hibernation, I'm still welcoming the change and the reminder 🍂🍁🌾

I still get pulled into the hustle and bustle of civilized life, but I'm always grateful for the reminder of nature, that there needs to be time for breaks, resting, contemplation and simply doing nothing and "just" being

I'm really excited to be part of the guiding team this year and that we have quite the big group. and a great place to do it with an awesome view of the sunset!

    Some may think that there is almost no difference Some may think that there is almost no difference between a canoe and a kayak, only that one is closed at the top. After taking a kayak course last weekend, I see the differences much more clearly.

And I could list all the technical differences, but what fascinated me much more was the feeling. Kayaks (for me) are much more for play and sport, while canoes are better for longer trips and transportation. 

It was really exciting to try different rescue maneuvers, including half an eskimo roll ;-) . I also got a better feel for how different it moves. Nevertheless, I am still rather a friend of canoes. Of quiet and comfortable. It somehow suits my lifestyle more.
    Offering longer wilderness immersion experiences d Offering longer wilderness immersion experiences doesn't just mean going out with people. There is also a lot of preparation involved. Including fighting through the thicket of the swedish wilderness to find possible campsites for a not so small group (about 30 people including guides and children), where we can be for several days.

This can be very challenging, but also very rewarding. Above all, it brings a change to my other work, where I sometimes sit at the computer quite a lot.

But such moments always remind me how grateful I am to be able to lead such a rich, free and lively life. To be on the road for a week with dear people, working on a common project, sleeping outside in the forest, and being more and more who I am. And in doing so, getting to know myself and the others deeper and deeper.

This is such an incredible gift that I find it hard to put into words....

    Finding inspiration in nature is not difficult. Ev Finding inspiration in nature is not difficult. Everywhere we find small wonders. Magical moments. Fascinating or soothing sounds. Amazing smells. Rich tastes.

Once we are in nature (preferably wild nature), we can much more easily fall into the magic of all things and then inspiration can flow. Whether it's writing, crafting/building, painting or dancing. When we open up, it can flow.

For me, that is contentment and fulfillment. Being there. Feeling the elements. In the moment. Completely there. In deep gratitude for everything.

    for most of my life, i didn't really understand wh for most of my life, i didn't really understand why people would want to hike up a mountain. Skiing I understood. but otherwise... they're just mountains...

But since I started my little trip through South Tyrol a few days ago, and then especially through the Dolomites, I got a new understanding for these mighty creatures.

Mountains are our carriers of wisdom and ancient knowledge. They are our grandfathers and grandmothers. They are so powerful, resting deep within themselves, patiently waiting for us to become aware of our own power and strength again.

Now that I'm back in relative flatland, I notice the difference. It feels much harder to connect with my surroundings. To connect with all the history of the land. What has survived all these millennia? Even the oldest trees are just a few hundred years old. and often we don't even have that anymore....

But the trip inspires me all the more to look for the keepers of wisdom and ancient knowledge in my homeland as well. Because we have them everywhere. They are only well hidden.

    Jetzt fang ich auch schon an, Gedichte durch mich Jetzt fang ich auch schon an, Gedichte durch mich fließen zu lassen...

Mein Kopf dreht sich schon wieder im Kreis und mir wird schwindlig.
Immer schneller. 
Immer intensiver.
Einfach nur schreien wollen.
Aber kein Ton ist zu hören.
Die Gitter des Käfigs unsichtbar.
Ich frage: Warum trete ich nicht heraus?
Die anderen wundern sich auch.
aber ich bin wie versteinert.
Festgehalten von Angst.
Ich esse mir eine Schutzmauer.
Vielleicht passiert mir dann nichts?
Gleichzeitig spür ich mich weniger.
Bin abgelenkt von Gedanken.
Bin abgelenkt von Ideen der anderen.

Dreh mich im Kreis.
Immer schneller.
Und irgendwann falle ich.
Immer tiefer und tiefer.
Dann gibt es kein verstecken.
Dann gibt es keine Schutzmauer.
Dann ist da einfach nur Nacktheit. 
Verletzlichkeit.
Weiche, zarte Babyhaut.
Rund und gesund.
Ohne Bewertung.
Einfach nur Liebe.

Ich bin Liebe.
Alles ist Liebe.
Die Sonne. 
Das Auto. 
Der nervige Nachbar. 
Der Stein.
Alles.
Dann ist da Nichts.
Und alles auf einmal.
Einfach so.

Ohne Grund.
Ohne Weg.
Ohne Ziel.
Ohne Wunsch.
Ohne Erwartung.

Ich muss nichts sein. 
Weil ich nicht etwas _sein_ kann!
Das wäre alles nur eine Maske.
Ein Spiel.
Aber ich kann _nichts_ sein. 
Und alles auf einmal.
Einfach so.

Einfach?
Ja.
Wenn wir aufgeben.
Wenn wir nicht mehr sein wollen, sondern schlichtweg sind.
Eine Zelle. So klein, und doch so bedeutsam.
Mit jeder gesunden Zelle werden wir stärker.
Sind wir stärker.
Sind wir.

Alles und nichts.
Tod und Leben.
Alles eins.
