glasgow

Sometimes calmness is found in other places. This city is both known and unfamiliar to me. A restlessness has sunken down into the bottom of my stomach were it lies peaceful.

highpoint: falling asleep in the september sunshine under the strongest and most beautiful angel in the necropolis, on the hill where she sits overlooking the city.

everything unknown

Today I was hanging out with one of the smallest persons on this earth. She rocked.
Then all of a sudden I became aware of the fact that everyone walking by on the street had been that small, and how weird it is when u think about it. I was also thinking about how everything is unknown when you see it for the first time. Like a chair - to a baby it's not even a mystery, you just accept it as a fascinating part of a world that grows bigger everyday.

moving out...

Some days ago my sister and I spoke about comfort zones, and how they can be a safe enclosure. Then yesterday I found a book that was given to me almost ten years ago. In the front cover my friend agnes has written: "It says somewehere in this book that decisions should be made out of courage, not fear." And so I moved out of comfort zone to do just that.
Was it a good or a bad thing? Time will tell.

Highpoint: moving out of the comfort zone
Lowpoint: worrying about what it will or will not mean

I was going to tell you about some things I noticed lateley, but instead I will leave you with this video:

It is from the village Nuevo San Jose in Guatemala where I once met this girl named Katie. She took me into a hen house to show me how the birds sang in the dark.

Later that week I tried to climb a small montain to impress her, but fell down and scratched my arm instead. "Boys are show offs" she said as we watched a guy climb all the way up.

"Girls are too" I thought as I wiped the mud from my arms and legs.

About the now: tooth ache. Someone let the air out of my bike tires last saturday, and stole the basket. A tomato going red on the balcony. Writing cheesy things, mostly.
