Self Portrait III

2009, Stride to a New Year

If I follow the lines in the road, will I get there?

Impermanence

Sometimes something is so sweet and natural as water droplets after a rainfall, that you want to hang on just a bit longer, despite knowing they will fall anyway.

I'm sleeping, stop shaking me

I was awaken early this morning to a low key rumble which then turned into a constant building shake and rattle lasting for what felt like a long time. Was I dreaming? Has King Kong arrived to Copenhagen?

There was an earthquake this morning at 6:20am, the epicenter located 65 kilometers east of Malmö in the Scania region of Sweden, with Copenhagen and other parts of Zealand, Denmark also feeling the effects. The US Geological Survey has recorded the earthquake to measure 4.7 on the Richter scale, not that high in comparison to other quakes, but nevertheless, the strongest in Sweden since 1904 and the first earthquake in Denmark since 1985.

Hmm...time to reconsider my longterm plans for Denmark.

Six Feet Under by Thomas Newman

It feels like a long time ago when I was at the Assistens Kirkegård at the most beautiful moment where autumn light fell through trees ever so gently. Actually, it was only a month ago but time does not stand still for me living in Copenhagen. Everyday is a new page turned. Every week is a new chapter. There are already so many words, old ones reconfigured, new ones formed, but right now, a complete jumble of letters begging to find a home on paper.

It was very cloudy today, darker than normal, and being Monday, not a good choice of days to start making sense of the collage of letters, words, pages and chapters.

So instead, here are some cheerier images, revisited after a month, of a day when every breath of air I took in gave me that bit of nudge to carry on.

Twists and turns

A winding road is a beautiful path to follow, although sometimes deceiving and not as smooth as it looks.

I came across a spiral and got caught in it.
