[ the first spring song ]

rakastuin/
aivastelin aivastelemistaan,
oliko takkini ollut liian ohut/
yltiöpäiset krookukset.
rasteina kasvukäyrillä/
kukaan koskaan,
lämmittää.
häikäisee,
suloinen,
kevääseen/
autuas valo.

“Being free means ‘being free for the other,’ because I am bound to the other. Only in relationship with the other am I free.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.
- Albert Einstein

A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition. 
— G.K. Chesterton

"Tänään satun olemaan täällä - Huomenna jossakin toisessa paikassa. Minä kuljen kulkemistani, ja kun löydän hauskan paikan, pystytän telttani ja soitan huuliharppua." - Nuuskamuikkunen (Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti)

"Ensimmäisenä kevätpäivänä olen täällä jälleen ja vihellän ikkunan alla. Yksi vuosi kuluu nopeasti!" (Taikurin hattu)

"Minä tiedän. Kaikki muuttuu vaikeaksi jos haluaa omistaa esineitä, kantaa niitä mukanaan ja pitää ominaan. Minä vain katselen niitä - ja kun lähden tieheni, ovat ne minulla päässäni. Minusta se on hauskempaa kuin matkalaukkujen raahaaminen." (Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti)

"Minä omistan kaiken mitä näen ja mistä pidän. Minä omistan koko maailman." (Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti)

Les hommes ont oublié cette vérité, dit le renard. Mais tu ne dois pas l’oublier. Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé. - the fox in the Little Prince

“We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil.” 
― Stasi Eldredge, Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

Her soul.

“Her soul is Alive. And we are drawn to her.” 
― Stasi Eldredge, Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

I Am Mountain

My new favourite love song. Dedicated to S.

I am mountain, I am dust
Constellations made of us
There’s glory in the dirt
The universe within the sand
Eternity within a man

We are ocean, we are mist
Brilliant fools who ruled and kiss
There’s beauty in the dirt
Wandering in skin and soul
Searching, longing for a whole

As the light, light, light of the skies, of the skies
We will fight, fight, fight for our lives, for our lives

I am mountain, I am dust
Constellations made of us
There’s mystery in the dirt
The metaphors are breaking down
We taste the wind inside a sound

As the light, light, lights of the skies, of the skies
We will fight, fight, fight for our lives, for our lives
As the light, light, lights of the skies, of the skies
We will fight, fight, fight for our lives, for our lives

Momentary carbon stories
From the ashes, filled with Holy Ghost
Life is here now, breathe it all in
Let it all go, you are earth and wind

Where are you?

it's been a lot in my mind lately,

well kind of, among everything else,

but i find myself dreaming a little again

of a community of believers

That lives in the world but not of it,

Inspired, spirit-filled,

Connecting spirit and mind and heart and body,

Creative,

Free,

Loving,

Caring,

Strong,

Encouraging,

Laughs, cries, dances,

Challenges,

Good with boundaries,

Quick to forgive,

Full of grace,

Seeking truth,

Present.

here again

awake i dreamt of a light that falls
softly on these plain landings
like well-composed notes on
hand-drawn lines
glass half full or empty

accented colours
hiccups of reality
universal script
not so much to say
i strech these letters
smile and chuckle

in small beginnings
dreams are brought alive

[ohoo]

And the Heavens prove trustworthy,
there is mercy in the new day,
joy and peace comes with believing.

Follow these steps they lead home,
heart singing with
little birds
and
you'll teach me what life means

Friends, it's a sabbath day,
I'll call in rest,
restoration,
catch all the little foxes,
today grows roses
and Vine.
