Perhaps I am going somewhere. Perhaps my journey really does have a destination, but if that’s the case I’m not aware of it yet. And I wouldn’t like you to make that assumption for me. Travelling is a state of being in itself, not only something to be passed through…
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.)

Blood moon ramblings
There’s a lunar eclipse. I’m a shitty blogger but I’m writing now anyway. Even though I’ve been emotionally reclusive of late I’d like to at least pretend for a moment that I exist and throw these feelings out into the proverbial aether. Maybe they’ll be relevant to someone, although that…

Små ljud som överröstar allting Den öronbedövande tystnaden som uppstår när du inte längre andas Jord mot trä Vind i trädkronor Din röst som inte längre sjunger Förutom i mitt minne En klocka som tickar Räknar sekunder men ingen vet hur många du har kvar Jag har hört att världen går vidare…

What’s in a name?
I changed my name a few weeks ago. Thought I’d share a few tips on how to handle the situation if you’re going to interact with me, or with someone else you know who’s changed their name. What to do? Use my new name. Not only in my presence, but…

Conjunction
Heart pounding Waiting for the moment I’m not ready Not even nearly But I’ll never be completely So I wait And brace myself In fear and anticipation It’s going to happen Sooner or later I know it has to happen The signs are right The time will come A moment…

Hang in there
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…

Forever
One of my favourite webcomics recently came to an end. Check it out. Also, why would anything be less worthwhile just because it is limited in time? Wouldn’t that rather make it more beautiful? Permanence, on the other hand, now that’s a scary thing. Love and transience, Winterdragon

In memoriam
I’ve been wanting to write to you for ages now, but nothing comes. I’ve tried, I’ve thought about what I want to say, I’ve even taken the time. But ten weeks have passed, and I’m none the nearer to any declaration of anything at all, or even a poetic rant.…

Nej
Nu tar molnen mark Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot dig Kan det begäras mer av mig? Nej. Jag finner inga egna ord för det här än. Winterdragon

…
I let myself flow I swim through my mind back and forth My soul still sings the song we wrote together We once had a dream We had everything We rode to the end of the world We rode on searching We climbed skyscrapers But they were destroyed The peace…
