på en ukjent vei..

ta imot deg selv med nåde på en ukjent vei..

respekt..

ordet respekt kommer fra latinsk spici og spectare
begge varianter av verbet har betydningen..å se
eller..å skue fremfor seg

satt sammen med..re-repetere
å gjøre igjen..gir respici eller respectare

det norske verbet..respektere..har direkte oversatt meningen..å se om igjen eller..å se en gang til

takk til thor brækkeflat..gateprest i bergen som minnet meg om betydningen av dette ordet..

se en gang til..i respekt..på menneskene rundt deg

how fragile we are

wouldn`t you..

wouldn`t you
come in to
my garden

I would like my roses to see you..

den stilla..

på leting etter..

den stilla
som kvardagen treng
for å levast..

by heart..

it is spring again
the earth
is like
a child again

that knows poems by heart..

kim du nå va..

den finaste dagen e den så lar vær
å bestemma, men løfte meg opp og gir fart
då sveve eg fint, eg kan se og glømma
og velge meg kvitt framfor svart..

så takk ska du ha..kjære gud
eller kim du nå va?
du så fant opp dei finaste ting..

next to me..

oh..our futures were written with crayons in coloring books
it was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked
like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress
and the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories
honestly nothing's even compared to you next to me..next to me

sleeping at last..next to me..hør

tears..

our tears
are guides
if we let them be
our tears can tell us
things about ourselves
about our dreams and passions
and callings
and about our wounds

tears tell us
the things that we are not quite ready

to say out loud..

shauna niequist

in-between..

we
live
in a world
that values us
for how fast we go
for how much
we accomplish
for how much life
we can pack into one day

but I`m coming to believe
it`s
in the in-between spaces that our lives change

and that the real beuty lies there..

shauna niequist again..

when..

when your world
is at your back
and your heart is
at your feet..
the best way
to go on
is
just to
be..

memories..

memories are what warm you up
from the inside
but they’re also what tear you apart..

bittersweet..

when
life is
sweet
say
thank you
and
celebrate

and
when life
is bitter
say thank you

and
grow..

precise content..

so what is it then
that thrills you
that moves you
that makes you click
and tell me how long has it been

well I really don't know
and if I ever had
a notion of what it all
come down to in the end
maybe I'd just loose it all
and never sing a note again
so I guess that everchanging rhythm of life
is the core of it all
all the different schemes
the heartbeat even
of my song..

the lack of precise content is what hits me now..

is it?

is this a graveyard
to bury her heart?
or is it a garden..
where new life will start?

keep no score..sleeping at last..hør

in memory of you..bilde fra værnes kirkegård feb.2013

needle and thread..

you were a million years of work
said god and his angels..with needle and thread
they kissed your head and said
you're a good kid..and you make us proud..
so just give your best and the rest will come,
and we'll see you soon..

we are made of love
and all the beauty stemming from it
we are made of love
and every fracture caused by the lack of it..

sleeping at last..needle and thread..hør

mornings in april..

mornings in april
sharing the secrets
we'd walk on till the morning was gone
we were like children
laughing for hours
the joy you gave me
lives on and on
'cause I know you by heart..

that`s how the light gets in..

ring
the bells
that still can ring
forget your
perfect offering
there is a crack in everything

that`s how the light gets in..

today..

today
humble today
presents itself to us
with all the
ceremony and bling
of a glittering
diamond ring

wear me
it says
wear me out

love me
dive into me
discover me

kanskje bare ikke..

vi bygde et fengsel
av forventning og krav
vi satte opp murer og drømte om hav
rusta opp imot kriger
det aldri ble noe av
og lengta mot strender
av skjellsand og rav
men en dag skal vi forstå

kanskje bare ikke..akkurat nå
