  • To love a mountain

    Hello again.  View from “lunch” break at 2 am. Back in the mountains again over the summer, as the fates would have it. Hello, midnight sun. Hello waterfalls and rain-wet birch forests. Hello, lake of coldness. Hello, breathtaking vistas causing my heart to vibrate. It is like returning to a lover.…

  • Livets mening och vinterns lärdomar

    Nu vet jag varför vissa erfarenheter kan kännas så tomma. Vi hungrar efter narrativ. Om ögonblick inte går att knyta ihop till en sammanhängande historia så spelar de ingen roll. Vi står ju inte ut med berättelser som ser ut så. Om en scen inte för handlingen framåt, eller på…

  • Without my skin

    I lie awake in bed without my skin I peeled it off last night while you were here I wanted you to feel the blood within I wanted you to know I was sincere You reached into my chest and touched my heart I smiled and opened up my ribcage…

  • On conquering the Iron Throne

    What have you been up to lately? Me, I’ve been adventuring in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, leveling up my physical strength and skiing skills to an astonishing degree, reading an absurd amount of books and thinking really deep thoughts. Oh, and conquering the world, while I’ve…

  • The physiology of sorrow

    Sunlight in my face To feel the rain upon my skin Icy waters swallowing me Wind to dry again Standing on a mountain top To climb the tallest tree See the birds The stars, the moon Reflected in the sea If this isn’t joy I don’t want no part of…

  • Winds of Winter

    The weather’s been pretty insane of late. Hurricane winds, and loads of snow with them. Power went out, standing up outside was a challenge. I held a mostly improvised lecture on astronomy, by candlelight, to keep the spirits of the guests at the hotel up. It was fun, haven’t done…

  • The return of the Luminous One

    The Sun is back! All hail the glorious orb of light! After so much darkness, working nightshifts nonetheless, daylight is pretty exciting. There are also loads more people around now. That’s also exciting, but tiring as well. So I think I’ll say fuck you to civilisation right now and go skiing…

  • To breathe the air

    Sometimes I think I’d like to breathe the air I could go out and meet the world outside But then I think I’d better stay inside Where I am safe from people who would stare Sometimes I think I’d like to see the sun Above the earth, and watch the…
