The Promise

The right-wing extremists comments on document.no

After reading Anders Breivik, or Andy Brewick (or what it is he calls himself for his english-speaking "crowd"), comments on a "discussion forum" called "Document.no" it naturally made me sick to my stomach! His retoric is out of this world, in the form that it is SO selfcontradicting and just plain WRONG!!

Anyway, my short comment about what I am feeling SO strongly now after reading about his hate towards women, muslims, multiculturalism etc, is that I am prouder than EVER that my fiance and companion through 5 years now, is the product of a lovely woman from South Korea, falling in love and having a child with an equally lovely Norwegian man! So; YES, that makes MY GUY half norwegian and half Korean, and OUR children, which will be joining us in this world when the time for that is right, will be 1/4 Korean, in addition to being 3/4 norwegian. I CAN NOT WAIT!!! How beautiful they will be <3 The most important thing in my eyes will be to let them get to know ALL there is to know about their Asian heritage, and their grandmother will naturally be the BEST person to teach them :)

Most importantly, I started loving my fiance and life-companion that one night when we first met five years ago, purely based on HIM!! Who he was, what he was doing, what he believed in, his unbelieveable beauty (in know I'm partial, but he his seriously the most hansome guy walking the face of the earth!!) and his loving kindness. Race, and culture played a VERY small part I have to tell you. All of that was just invisible.Though, as the years has gone by, we have dived into the adventure that culture-exploration is, and we love how this is teaching us SO much MORE about life than we would EVER imagine possible!!

It is very hard for a person like me to see, to understand, what for, and why the "They-took-our-jobs"/nazi/extremist is saying and writing the things he does, but that may all be part of my naivety. For all that is good, and all that is holy, I hope I never loose that small part of my naivety, that my hope and belief in the race; "EVERYBODY" won't ever fade!

Lets all be strong, lets all vote the hell out of every election coming up for ever and ever ( ;-P), and let us never allow fear to trumph LOVE <3

(gotta <3 it!)

Les fraises et les baisers

Fraises au sucre, c'est comme des baisers de l'homme que j'aime

Love or revenge???

I just have to ask myself if we should be a little bit proud of ourselves, as a people! The reason why is that compared to what happened in september 2001, we are not yelling and screaming for revenge, but instead we focus on lovig STRONGER, on loving our familys and loving our neighbour! Young teenangers has been seen on television saying that now we have to "skjerpe oss"/ pull ourselves together so that we can show eachother love, and show it a whole lot! We have been on memory-markings for several days, and the love that flows through people, people we did not know even know at all, was out of this world!! In the words of the norwegian AUF-girl; if one man can create this much hate, just imagine how much love all of US can create! 

I am excperiencing a peace and a wish for peace, aswell as a demand for an even stronger democracy! Sadly these events bring my thougts back to Bush Jr., his words right after the terror; "We are going to catch them, dead or alive''' and also the shameful quote; "you are either with us or else you are against us"! Not exceactly a message of love and strenghtening a democracy, eh?

Our Norwegian prime minister, aswell as the other people that has been affected, or targeted the worst that bloody day, are persons tat are big enough to NOT go the route of revenge, but instead repeteadly saying that THIS IS THE TIME TO STRENGHTEN our democraty!! I weep for the Americans that had a wild-wild-west president that were leading a people in hate instead of love, and that in the aftermath started DAMAGING the American democracy, with laws outside of the constitution, starting SEVERAL wars etc. I wonder, just asa side-thought, if it were a democratic president during 9.11, that things would have 

been less COLD??

Bush: "We will take him, dead or alive, lets hunt them down"

Stoltenberg: "The answer to violence is even more democracy"

Rose March!!

Today, tomorrow and wednesday, there will be marches with lights, but especially ROSES in respect and memory of the gruesome scenes that played out, just a stone-throw away from our new home at the country, and as respect for the bombing in Oslo aswell!! We will change it up a bit, and carry roses in different colours. I kinda love that !!

One of our close relatives, not even 11 years watched his father being shot as one of the first at Utøya, and the little boty pleeded for his life to the desperado, saying that you have killed my father now, can you please not shoot me, so that I can have a longer life than what you want to give me? Amazing what a boy of 10 can be able to say and do, right?? I wil not tell more of the terrible details of this case in particullar, but having experienced loss in an extreme way personally, me and my close family have just visited the family which are also our neighbours, just to give them  a HUG!! I just remember when the tragedy struck me and my family over 15 years ago (I will MAYBE tell that story... maybe not, I have to feel upon it for a while), people in our community avoided us, maybe because they didnt know what to say in such a tragedy, but I remember that when people crossed the street because they saw us because they were afraid of the sorrow and the unbelieveable tragedy, and how to handle it.. THAT kind of action hurt more than ANYTHING. So it was important for us to visit our closely affected family just to HUG them <3

And a lesson for anyone who's willing to listen; words are not always necessary. Just being ther, holding someone and giving them a good hug is often sufficient!!

I miss my mother in law. I wish she was back in Norway. I miss her, and I miss visiting her with her son!! Amazing what shit does to our perspectives ;)

<3 

I love my entire exctended family!!

Norwegian right-wing extremist's manifesto

Oh yeah, he (the terrorist) has released a manifest, where a lot of what he touches upon are kind of a warning of what was going to happen here in our peace-loving country, Norway, last friday! Why did not a right wing extremist like Brewick get "picked up" by the right departements within the police? Can it be that the muslim-hate and fear, started by the Bush II government in the U.S, that has blindfolded all western communities of the threat of the neo-nazi type extremists like Andrew Brewick/Anders Brevik? Any regrets? Will anyone step forward and be real men/women and take some responsibility for the fact that the last Bush administration (amongst others) made the word terrorist synonymous with muslims? History will tell us; NO, that will be "brushed under the rug"! Sad, sad :(

If I personally have taken ONE important thing, above anything else, from the terror our very small, diplomatically and peace-making country has experienced, it is that the fear is a lower power, and living life is SO important that I will live my life like there's no tomorrow - EVERYDAY! I will learn EVERYTHING I've ever dreamed of learning, and I will not let laziness or secondguessing EVER take place in my life, ever agan! I will live like never before, like there's no tomorrow. <3 <3 <3 <3 I will forever focus all my strength of living life, and meeting my fellow citizens and people all over the world with the love and warmth we as brothers and sisters DESERVE!!!

खुशी अच्छे स्वास्थ्य और एक बुरा स्मृति है.

WTF

I am SO, SO incredably sad, sorry and shocked by the evil that struck hundreds of lives yesterday in Oslo and Utøya.I am shocked though, by peoples shortsitedness in the aftermath of the bombing and shooting in Oslo yesterday. Now I read demands for the death-penalty and total disregard of our Norwegian constitution!! I am appaled by how some "hotheads" by "feeling like it's THEM the terror happened to" are prepared to throw our entire moral center out the window! I feel that a lifetime in prison, getting PUNISHED and having to LIVE WITH what you have done is a far better way to sentence someone. In Norway we stopped killing people in the name of the law in 1902. Do we really want to regress back to that?What else then should we look the other way about, ethically? When would it stop, and arent the ones killing off people "in the name of the law" just as much of killers themselves, and the ones who condemnd people in that way accessories to murder? I guess I sound like a hippie to some people, but SERIOUSLY, lets not let our beauty that is our intelligens and ability to reason, rot away!!

Sad

I am tired of learning bad stories and lies about myself. Supposedly told by someone very close to me, when I'm out and about! Is this a low selfesteem-thing, keep others down to feel better or more interresting about yourself? Is this because I haven't lived in the country, but away in different cities for SO long, and am interresting to "use" as a "shit-story" when in need of a good "shit-story"? Anyway, I'm back now, and for my part I completely forgive this person for the hurt I have been caused by being painted as something I'm not!! I just feel kinda sad about it, and wish I knew the reason for it!

 Over to other, more important things; I think, in the aftermath of the Oslo-bombings and shootings, that we should not be cowardly little scardy-cats and STAY INSIDE (Ooooo, HELP, HELP). No, for f**** sake, NOW is the most perfect time to show the world how we live our lives in joy and harmony!! Lets not be afraid people! And lets be honest aswell. It always helps us in the long run!

I love my life, and I love my family, with all their querkes and imperfections, and I love my fiance and I love my "piss-ant, redneck-town" ;-P

Til alle som ser OOslo-22.07 som en perfekt anledning til innvandringsfiendtlig bullshit:

Terrorist attack (?) in Norway

30 minutes ago a bomb went of in the offices of the norwegian government. The explosion was powerful, and windows has been blown out over a big area. Chaos and despair in Oslo right now. Looks like the oil and energy department along with the prime ministers office has been the hardest "hit". Police has closed off the area, and there are speculations of more bombs...?!!

Water loving cats

Yoga, flowers housecleaning and work, work, work!"!!

Today I started the day with doing the laundry, amongst other things I washed two new dresses I have sown :-) The sun is shining like never before, so I put the newly washed clothes i a basket and went outside to hang them up to dry in the fresh outdoors <3

Life suddenly felt very good and neat ;)

Then I proceeded to do one hour of intense yoga. I have started a new kind of yoga rehersals, something exciting I have learned from a woman from Indi who of course is a serious professional, AAfter sweating out all the toxins I meditated for about 15 minutes, it was a good day for meditation, since I managed to leave my body for a while!!

Now I have cut 20 roses or so, placed them in different vases and have made our home even more beautiful :)

My fiance is washing the floors with pine-tree smelling soap, and it is SOOOOO sweet to be in our house at the moment:)

After I have finished writing I am going to oil our veranda/porch, in just a skimpy shorts and a bikini ;-P I told you the weather was AMAZEBALLS :)

A couple of days ago we bought our fifth engagement rings (since we are engaged to be married, we have started our own tradition where we give eachother a new engagement-ring each year, every year up to the year and day we are getting married). I got a ring with the "G"key symbol, or "G-nøkkel" as it is called in norwegian, and Roy got the typical lebanese ring (the one in four pieces that is almost impossible to put together if you take it apart,,, ;-P ). I will put some pictures here of the symbol on my ring and one of Roys ring!

Always desire to learn something useful.

 A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others., and by the way;

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.!! 

As I am sitting here by the piano, learning, excperimentig and creating new stuff, a quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox comes to mind;  

              Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get 

              to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it

The house is still FULL of lillys, the smell is HEAVEN!!! Composing, kickstarting the intuitioun and everything that makes me feel like that I am a part of sometthing REALLY big :-D To be creating on a level like this is worth a celebration!!

Now it is "loofa-time" ;-P, Getting a real good scrub, and testing out my new fantastic make up and skin care products . Then I'll just put on  a very, VERY cute "something", and that is JUST for my fiances eyes to see ;)

Before I met my fiance, I'd never fallen in love. I'd just stepped in it a few times before. 

NOT THE SAME!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Then, being deeply loved by him gives me strength, while loving him deeply gives me courage.

So finally, in death; we stop sinning...suddenly.

Creativity and love

I have really discovered the importance of SLEEP, eating right, telling the person I love, how much I love him, and I am respecting the creativity when it comes around!! 
It is a big, BIG part of creating for me, to write down, record or draw when I get an idea!! I have STRUGGELED with this for a long, long time, but now I carry a notebook and a recorder with me everywhere, so that when an idea is born I can record it at once!! 
It is kinda like; if I don't record my ideas, they stop, or they just do not come around as often, but when I do record the ideas they just come and come and come! VERY happy about this! 
I have also started writing a dream diary, and I interpret what I have written everyday... also very helpful creatively. 
So, now I have started playing the piano for real:) I am learning very fast, I am shocked at how fast I am learning, and I have already written two melodies. I have also written more lyrics, and I am SO looking forward to recording it. This is a very exciting period! 
Another great thing I am doing to help the creativity along is that I have a bunch of A3 paper, so that when I see something in the form of a picture, I can draw it down, and usually that starts a new lyric or a new poem:) 
My boyfriend and I are both writing and creating a lot, we enjoy ourselves a lot with great dinners everyday, in the weekends with a good syrah, and just being happy and loving eachother! I think I am starting a spanish course in a month or two aswell! 
Djeez, I seriously recommend that everyone that needs a kickstart moves out to the country-side;P

<3 The country, great food, telling people you love how much you love them, wine, music and art <3

High on sunday 51

A monkey knows how you'll react
Creating want by holding back
Some reverse pyromaniac
Let me try, baby, try

I brought my window up and then
I turned my back to lure you in
Do I fall through what I might of been
Let me try, baby, try

Baby please let me begin
Let me be your heroine
Hate the sinner but love the sin
Let me be your heroine

We have crossed the rubicon
The ship awash our rudder gone
The rats have fled but I'm hanging on
Let me try, baby, try

Baby please let me begin
Let me be your heroine
Hate the sinner but love the sin
Let me be your heroine

Humpty Dumpty

Say you were split, you were split in fragments
and none of the pieces would talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been
well, baby I want that, too

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

Baby you're great, you've been more than patient
saying it's not a catastrophe
but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in
just someone who looks like me

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

So get out while you can

Get out while you can
Baby, I'm pouring quicksand
And sinking is all I had planned
So better just go

Oh, better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put baby together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put baby together again

... boring or arousing??

Ironi!!?

Jeg ser 1998 filmen "Under Siege". VELDIG vanskelig å se denne historien, i en hollywood-film, som jeg antar millioner så i U.S, og forstå HVORDAN "the Patriot Act" faktisk ble en lov?? Som de sier i filmen, det er ikke et større moralsk tap for en nasjon enn å sette inn millitæret mot sitt eget folk. Alle disse terrorist-filmene som har blitt laget de siste 15 årene... jeg føler hjertet mitt knuse litt for hver eneste gang.

Frykt. Det beste våpen, både mot fiender og venner.

Er det rart man vil vekk fra alt? Er det rart man vil tilbake 100 år i tid, bare for freden i sinnets skyld? Leve på en gård uten å forsøples av all elektronikk,i stand til å overleve uten alt som gjør oss så avhengige? Hva skjer hvis noen virkelig vil skade "leve-settet" vårt i den vestlige verden? Jeg mener VIRKELIG skade? Vil vi klare å plukke oss selv opp i en slik hypotetisk situasjon? Jeg skal iallefall lære meg å overleve. Overleve i naturen. Overleve som moralsk sjel. Se forbi frykt, behandle redsel med kjærlighet!

Lilly

I have been kinda sick for almost one week. The absolutely WORST thing I think, for myself, I can do is to just creep up under the covers and stay there. Soooo, I have been trying to do yoga, although my energy-level is NOT what it usually is, but then we just cut down the yoga-time, it is just doing it, if only for 15 minutes, that counts when I am in a crappy "mood". I have also been trying to take a trip on the bicycle once a day, like going to the store and back, just because it's the LAST thing I want to do, and that's just why I have to do it!! PUSH IT, PUSH IT GOOD ;-p

The really crazy thing is that I have to have lilly's, the flower ( ;-P ), because that just makes me think of something really beautifuL and  perfect, that I have to try to emulate to feel better myself. It seriously works!! So I recommend that everyone that feels crappy, has a bad day, or maybe is in "that time of the month"-mode, goes out, buys themselves some lilly's, and they will for sure feel just a little bit better!!

I have also discovered, though I already kinda knew, that it is when you feel the worst, you become the most creative, so I have written two new lyrics, have got the melody to one of them, and am working on some new knitting-designs! I have re-discovered knitting... and I LOVE IT!!

So, if you have a bad day, buy yourself some lilly's, and you'll get what I am trying to say!!

Norwegian life

Happy, happy!!

Today I woke up, extra, extra, extra much more in love with my boyfriend, than EVER!! I don't know why, it just is what it is! Didn't know love could evolve like this, I was actually SURE that the "hottest" love, were the love you feel when it's all new, when your heart starts beating faster just because you see the person you love enter the room. I was SO sure that that feeling were exclusively only for the "newly-wed" (you know what I mean) - period. But God dang it, when I see him (Roy) sometimes, it can be in the store, or when we are riding our bikes, or just watching him write some of his stories (he's an artist, with a big A!), my heart STILL starts beating real fast... this is after 5 years, and maybe that is not a very long period of time for most people, I really wouldn't know what is the "norm" now a days, but for me it is the longest relationship I've EVER been in, and the HEALTHIEST!! 

Compared to my behavior towards most of my exes, I have behaved like an angel in this relationship!! It really is a love-story I only thought excisted in fairytales (cheesy, I know, but it's the hard truth!)!
I know this is the man I will make BEAUTIFUL babies with, and I've NEVER wanted to be a mother before I met Roy, and there is just so much more I am discovering about myself because I'm in love with this dude... THIS exact dude:-P I am sure it is his love towards me that is "changing" me into a better Ellen, I can even tell for myself that I am changing into a more patient and calm person, and people are usually the most blind when it comes to themself... right?? But I can really tell that I am a more peaceful girl!

So, after waking up from the BEST dream, about my man( <3 ), my father called, he wanted to drive us to the "sentrum" of the small place we're living, because it was raining, raining HARD, but we were ready to open our umbrella-ella-ella-ellas, and just walk (why the h*** not, I think one big reason people all over the western world are so fat and borderline morbidly obese in some cases, are because we all think that without a car we can't excist, so we drive everywhere because it really is convenient, but if everybody just got up off of their asses we would have a MUCH healthier population!).
So, dad buys us apple-pie and coffe, we sit and chat for a while and then my little sister, Ine, comes and drops a huge bomb!! She is going to be a mommy for the second time, and Roy and I are going to be aunt and uncle for another cute, funny angel. I, off course started bawling (quite embarrassing, but the first time, when she told me she was going to be a mother the FIRST time, I cried so hard I literally fell on the floor crying!!)
Hehe, somebody are more emotional than others I guess :-D I just LOVE my "baby-sister" and I'm SO happy for her!! I'm trying to talk her into giving me one baby if she gets twins;-P She's down with that! (Ironi, for those who didn't get it!) But seriously, I am so curious to see my own babies aswell, when they come. I just know I will fall head over heels in love with them. Wonder what the product of a very tiny red-headed girl with brown eyes and milky-white skin and a half norwegian-half south korean BEAUTIFUL boy will look like? I guess the asian genes (from Roy) are the most dominant, and I SO hope that our children will resemble him, and get some of the korean "trademarks"!!

Hihi, so, there I got the baby-crazy talk out of the way :-)
I stopped crying happy-tears after a while, then I bought a whole lot of yarn and stuff for knitting hats, leggings, arm-warmers etc. Finally we went to the place where you buy the really hardcore farmer-stuff (you know; John Deer overalls, rubberboots, and everything you need as a farmer), a place called "Felleskjøpet", and there we bought rain-outfits. Green, and looks extremely cool ;-P I promise pictures will follow!!

Now I am enjoying some ice-water, cleaning some floors, and are about to start knitting something fab!!

And in all of this, Roy is doing the dishes, and are going to make dinner right after he is finished!! I am a spoiled little princess, and my entire family is jealus of me :-) (But, without going into details, I REALLY spoil him too <3 )

I love my fionce'. He is THE most handsome man I've EVER seen, ever met... and he's smart too, AND, the creme' de la creme'; the dude loves art!! JACKPOT ;-P

I know I am lucky to have found such a pure, real and STRONG love, and the next time I meditate/pray, I will wish this feeling of love for everybody who's got great and pure karma!

I am a HUGE believer in karma, by the way!!

Do something nice for someone else, and receive a feeling of a heart that grows. It's the best feeling I know!

I am fighting every day to keep my "monsters" in their cage (quote Johnny Cash), and I am doing a pretty good job so far (if I may say so myself). It is challenging as h***, I have to be strong, it doesn't just "flow", but the hard work PAYS! And as I said; I am receiving a kind of love I've never conceived of!! So that makes me think that I am doing something right, to deserve this amount of love every day.

So, I'm: HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY <3 <3 <3 <3

EVOLVE

Sitting by the window with my J.B and ice,
thinking that this glass contains my biggest vice.
You and me we started out so young and fresh,
now we're just a hot and broken mess


'I wanna evolve, so
you and I can solve,
the tearing, and the beating and the sorrow in us.
I just have to have this drink first.


When you took me home that very first night,
you shoved me how we could be lovers and fight.
Our relationship was never enough,
there was some icy gold between us!


I just wanna evolve, so that
you and I can solve;
the only thing that has the power too,
tell me I'm just not in love with you!


We started living in a small, small flat.
You said you loved me right off the bat.
But when we were supposed to show the world what we had,
the golden liquid made us and especially you so sad.


Because, we can't evolve, we just
have to live in it to maybe solve;
the terror that lives inside both you and me,
and if we manage I'd be your true baby.


I just wanna evolve, so
you and I can solve,
the tears and the sorrow and the howling in us,
so we could feel what peace would mean to us.

OPPLAGT 100 ÅRING FRA BYGDA :)

 Opplagt 100-åring

Ingrid Evelyn Løken var i storform da ordføreren besøkte henne på jublieumsdagen.

MODUM: Den friske og kvikke 100-åringen, Ingrid Evelyn Løken, tok imot hjemmetjenestens ansatte samt ordfører Terje Bråthen på kaffe og kaker. Gjestene kom gående som det reneste 17. mai toget fra hjemmetjenestens lokaler til Ingrids bolig i Furulund ved Modumheimen.

– Dette var kjempehyggelig, strålte jubilanten da toget stanset opp i hagen for å synge bursdagssang.

Følger med

Til tross for alderen har ikke Ingrid noe problem med å fløge med på det som skjer. Hukommelsen er god, hørselen og synet det samme.

– Det er beina som er mitt problem. Hadde det ikke vært for dem kunne jeg nok holdt følge med de fleste fremdeles.

Mens damene i hjemmetjenesten sørger for at både jubilanten, ordføreren og de selv får et stykke marsipankake, går praten mellom Ingrid og nettopp ordføreren.

– Jeg husker jo Terje godt fra den tida han var unggutt i Skotselva. Jeg og mannen min bodde også der den gang, sier hun.

Kunne spart seg

Som 100-åring er det normalt å få brev fra Hans Majestet Kongen. Det kunne Ingrid like gjerne vært foruten.

– Det var ikke særlig mye som sto der, og at det er et brev fra Kongen blir feil å si når det er en ferdig sak som han ikke har vært i nærheten av en gang.

GENIOUS/INSANITY

There is no great genius without some touch of madness, and the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius!!

The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

Morning meditation

Now it is wednesday-morning blues... (nope!) I'm sitting here with a nice cup of "cleansing-tea", Pukka-tea :-D

I will drink it slowly, and then I'll go do my daily yoga routine, WITH my fionce' this time!!After the yoga, and the meditation is done, I'm gonna do vocal rehersals aswell, just gonna have to eat some breakfast at some point :-P

For breakfast I will have grilled-cheeese, on a bread with mustard, sourcream on the side, and watermelon for "dessert".

I am still adjusting to living in such a SMALL communiity as we do now, it definetely has it's ups and down... thats for d*** sure!!

But the change of environment has done us both very good, we are more active than we have been in 3-4 years combined. Roy is BIG-KAHUNA with chainsaw and several "manly" things, and I am cykling to gardners to buy flowers to plant. So I am doing more "woman-like" chores around her; washing floors, dusting, vacuuming, washing and drying clothes, painting the house and decorating our small house in an even more romantic style:)

Roy tells me that he becomes really happy each time he walks into the house, because he says I've made it so beautiful <3

He is a CHARMER, that Roy!!!!!

Another life-purpose I now have is to become such a good singer, keyboard-player and guitar player, so that getting lots of beautiful music and melodies out of me, and down on paper, could happen more instantly!! It would be the coolest thing if I could go into a musicstudio!!! That would be the DREAM:)

Tilgivelse

Sinne, hat og bitterhet jeg kan være i stand til å føle mot et annet menneske, skal jeg nekte å fengsles av! 

Slike negative følelser er jeg stor nok som person, til å tilgi, for kun da vil jeg virkelig være fri!

MACARENA.....??!?

WHEN CATS PRAY - AGAIN!

WHEN CATS PRAY!

Droppin' some morning-TRUTH!!

Morgenstund har POTETGULL (?) i munn

Har nettoppp hatt en wunderbares natt med schlafen i sofa.sengs!! Gid, hvor det var deilig!!

Siden blir det heftigere yoga enn i går, håper han Roy bestemmer seg for å hive seg med på øvelsene!! Men forstår godt om han står over! GUD som denne type trening og kroppsbeherskelse er balsam for sjelen altså!!

Etter en god time med yoga, og påfølgende meditasjon, har dagen blitt hilst velkommen, av en solhilsen!!Karma is great!

Mine lille mini-oppgave deretter er å "call'e out" Høyre's Jon Hovland! For etter  å ha opplevd den ekte, harde og virkelige verden der ute, så ser jeg etter 12 år borte fra bygda at den populistiske narsissisten som pr-duden er, er ALTFOR opptatt av å være på trykk, eller på bilde i "Bøgde-arket" enn å sette fokus på å balansere over i den virkelige verden!! Jeg tar det dypt personlig når et "forbilde" kaster bort den vakre, fantastiske rollen sin til å havne på trykk så fort en blits går av! (Dette er overdrevet, og jeg overdriver bevisst, i håp om at mannen lar oss få høre noen politiske standpunkter, litt fokus på politikk rett og slett... ja, om han til og med var i stand til å servere noen ideer! Til og med nyskapende??? Oooops, der dro jeg den nok for langt igjen)

Kanskje jeg skal takke gudene for at det er han som har "kuppet" høyre-topp plassen, da blir i allefall ikke høyre vinnere i kommunevalget :-DLeste, og syntes det var uhyre uproft og dumt å unngå å svare på spm som blir stilt ham i bygdeposten, (av en som tilogmed var høyre-velger!!!), men istedet gikk til angrep fordi mennesket ønsket anonymitet i et offentlig medie! En slik mann vil ikke jeg ha som ordfører!!

Rart Hovland ikke er frp'er, for han er minst like populistisk og billig i sin politikk?

Jeg skal uansettbe/meditere for han Hovland nå jeg, så kanskje noe god karma og fred kommer hans vei!

Yoga-matte, spikermatte og div. annet; here I come...

Les Français

J'aime aussi le peuple français! Vous voulez savoir les Français qui vivent dans les districts du vin!

Mon rêve est de vivre avec et d'aider les agriculteurs du vin

Don't worry about what people think,

Ich vermisse Deutschland!!

Als ich jung Mädchen war, hatten wir immer auf Tour nach Deutschland zu dieser Zeit des Jahres!

Dann gingen wir um mit unseren Chor und hatte Konzerte in Kirchen und Schulen.

  

Gott, wie ich die guten alten Zeiten verpassen! Ich hoffe, eines Tages die schöne Deutschland wieder erleben!

Ich liebe und vermisse Ihren, liebe deutsche Volk <3
