a non-binary redhead with sidecut and tattoos performing at a stage

Welcome

There are some who call me… Tim? Pronouns they/them. Former astrophysicist, current poet and storyteller, perpetual weirdo.

I intend to follow Mary Oliver’s Instructions for living a life:
1. Pay attention.
2. Be astonished.
3. Tell about it.

You are invited to follow along on my poetic life journey. This web page is mostly a blog where I irregularly share my poetry, recaps of adventures and general musings. For the most part I write in English, but occasional Swedish may occur. It’s been alive for 16 years and counting, although (like me) it has gone through some shape-shifting along the way.

For the latest posts, scroll down on this page. If you’re looking for a specific topic or post, you can find a search box and a tag cloud in the sidebar on this page.

If you’re curious about other pieces of art or science I’ve scattered across the internet, do take a look at my list of creations.

I also offer shamanic sessions. More info about my shamanic work here (in Swedish).

Well met, until our paths cross in Cyberspace or Meatspace. (Meatspace is my favourite, really. Hope to smell and touch you at some point.)

  • Tänk att spela folkmusik

    Jag plockade upp min cello idag för i princip första gången på tre år. Tre år är en evighet, och på samma gång ingen tid alls. Det har hänt så mycket med mig sedan senast, men cellon verkade ha förblivit densamma. Mina fingrar kom ihåg var tonerna ligger, och fastän…

  • A summer without shoes

    Inspired by a couple of friends who usually ditch their shoes for the warm part of the year I decided to give it a go this summer. Now I think my barefoot transformation is complete. I almost managed to forget my shoes at a friend’s place a while ago. This…

  • Imparting wisdom on the next generation

    Summer’s job is at an end, and I’m back off to school. I have mentioned that I have the best job, right? Some things I’ve accomplished these past few weeks: Coming home from work covered in coca cola, glitter, cocoa powder and paint. Telling kids about Lund University’s Super Secret…

  • Genderqueer as fuck

    Hang in there It will only hurt for a while Just a little bit longer Then you’ll be Legit As Fuck You will have your way And in the end they’ll all forget That there ever was another way You’ll feel at ease with the world And at peace with…

  • Nuet

    Jag stirrar på mina fötter och kan inte minnas varför jag har strumpor på mig. De känns bara som ett konstigt, onödigt skal som interfererar med min kontakt med marken. Jag spenderar en underbar dag i trevligt sällskap. Prioriterar långa samtal om kvällarna framför tillräckligt mycket sömn. Förundras över att…

  • Review: Gender Trouble

    Gender Trouble by Judith Butler My rating: 4 of 5 stars Although somewhat impenetrable to a person with no background in either philosophy or social sciences, this was a very interesting read. I’m not sure what to think of the psychoanalytic argumentations, but the discussion about the concept of biological…

  • Writing every day

    “To rid yourself of old patterns, focus all your energy not on struggling with the old, but on building the new.” — Dan Millman (Way of the Peaceful Warrior) Good advice concerning any habit. Not doing things is way harder than doing other things instead. Right now I’m building the habit of…

  • I was a fallen angel

    A week ago I was a fallen angel. It was awesome, being part of a legion propagating chaos throughout a world of elves, orcs, dragons, swords, bards and magic. And goodness knows what else. An epic love-story was in it for me, as well, now captured into a song. There…

  • Midnight sun and snowy peaks

    What is this? Work. A sun that sets at night. A soft bed, hot bath-water, no miles to go before sleep. Reality? I don’t know. The mountains were real, and as always they made me feel so very much alive. I suppose it is good to be home, still I…
