Back on track, and the wheels are spinning as fast as ever. Autumn is here, and as usual for me there is so much to do. Not that I’m complaining, it helps keep my mind off the disturbingly deep thoughts. Thought a quick recap of my summer could be in…
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 14 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.
Well met, until our paths cross in Cyberspace or Meatspace. (Meatspace is my favourite, really. Hope to smell and touch you at some point.)

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 6
Friday morning was spent quietly in two buddhist temples. Interesting, and a calm and refreshing break from the insanity-inducing shopping. Might have found some kind of inner peace there among the incense, statues, monks, and praying people. In any case we found a wonderful vegetarian restaurant. A-hah! I knew there existed…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 5
At long last, the travel blog continues! Soon regular (or at least as regular as they get with me) updates will commence again. From Hangzhou we hurried on to Shanghai, a couple of hours by bus away. Or at least that was the distance between our hotel in Hangzhou and…

Intermission of busyness
Ye gods. So many things are happening this summer that there is hardly any time to blog at all. I still have the last part of the China tour to describe, and then there is my work towards actually taking that bachelor’s degree in astrophysics. Now, however, it’s off towards…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 4
On Monday we went up absurdly early to catch a high-speed train to Hangzhou. Naturally there were traffic jams all the way there so we got there too late, but apparently the tour manager managed to make the train wait for us. Crazy, but nice. Despite general tiredness and nothing…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 3
The following day we waved good-bye to Beijing, and went by bus to Tianjin. Since we were free this day as well, we headed out on town to explore (at least a tiny part of) the city. Nobody seemed to speak any English at all, so we showed the adresses…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 2
Time marches on. Ye gods, four weeks have already passed since I got home. I never got very far with the travel blog, but I made a promise, so here comes at last the continuation! The friday was dedicated solely to tourism. We started out visiting the great wall, or…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 1
Urghh, midsummer coma… Slept ridiculously long today, even by my standards. Think I must have needed it, though, both after a fun party yesterday and not having fully recuperated from the tour to China yet. Since I failed to write a travel summary a couple of days ago like I…

Hem ljuva hem
Hemma i Sverige. Tröttare än en död hamster, men lycklig. Kina var intressant och överväldigande på alla sätt, men jag älskar att vara hemma igen. Det är så jävla fint att bo i Sverige, vi priviligerade skitstövlar borde ta oss tid att konstatera det lite oftare. Vattnet går att dricka…

Off to China!
I’m travelling to China today! Will be away on tour with the orchestra for two weeks. So much yayness and almost equally much nervousness. If I survive and all goes well I’ll be home 18 june. In the meantime, look out for the Venus transit tomorrow early morning! Google it…
