Time to sum up the year, I suppose. I’ll be ending it on a pitiful note: sick with Covid-19 and with my broken arm not yet healed. Thankfully, though, I am fully vaccinated and the symtoms so far are not worse than a bad cold. And I’m living in a…

Summing up a decade
The 2010’s have gone by, and I have been blogging (more or less regularly) throughout the entire time. In the same space of time, I’ve lived out my twenties. Ten years is a staggering amount of time, yet it has flown by faster than pigs with wings. I’ve grown and…

There Will Be No Intermission
Dear Amanda. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this post, but here goes anyway: Thank you, Amanda Fucking Palmer. I had the great fortune of seeing your show yesterday in Copenhagen. There was indeed no intermission, and as far as my feelings are concerned, there won’t be one for…

Sacred music
“We LOVE chorale music. Especially if it’s pagan!” My neck hurts, my throat is sore, and my head is pounding. But I’ll be damned if I’m not brimming with joy and life. What a concert. So much energy. And seeing a violinist, a harpist and a hurdy-gurdy player headbang in…

In your mind, in the world
At this time, when the night is embracing the day ever more tightly, I’d just like to say to whoever might be reading this: yes Yes, there is room in the world for you and it is unbelievable how enough you are. Look up: the stars are smiling at you. …

See all the love that’s in me
6701 words. I’m behind, but not hopelessly so. With some discipline and an effort, I can slay the beast of procrastination and do this thing. I’m still recovering from a cold and one hell of a party last week, so I guess it’s no wonder I haven’t managed to keep…
