As I walk through Bergen (the city of wetness) I see a lot of graffiti. Most of it is just ugly or does not fit, but sometimes I find some really great ones. A piece that has been made with care, planning and time.

I had a major revelation the other day. It just blew my mind when I found out. It was as if I had had the wrong glasses all my life and suddenly got the right ones. The world slid into focus and I was reborn.

This is a disturbing image of how we look at beauty, or rather, what we are made to believe is beauty.

Time: 07:30 AM
I’m walking towards the train to Bergen dragging my suitcase on wheels behind me. I’ve just been to a groceries store and bought some food supplies for the trip so I won‘t have to go hungry on the long trip. As I walk along I glance over at the Burger King lying slightly to the left of my path and decide to have a burger for breakfast.

It is upon me again...
That time of the year when the leaf on the trees start to change their colors from green to red, yellow and brown as a reminder that time actually passes in the rest of the world even though you yourself can't feel it.

The period is somewhat like a spear where that first day is the pointy end stabbing me in the chest and the following days like a wooden shaft with lots of splinters that slowly skewers me like some wild animal. The shaft actually lasts for months and months and when I finally get used to the big hole in my soul there comes another spear even bigger than the last one.

And why is that day so bad?
It is my birthday...

Today I did something totally unexcpected, even for me. I stepped out of the front door of the church I work in unknowing of what I was about to do. As I reached the first busstop the bus had left one minute earlier, so i decided to walk to the next one. When I arrived there, the next bus had passed me as well, so I thought: "Oh well, the weather is nice. I might as well walk some more." This continued to happen as I walked and I continued to think: "I'll walk to the next stop..."
Result: I walked 14 kilometers!!! It took me two hours and while I walked I had plenty of time to think.
