“to be able with somebody else you have to be able with yourself”, a friend once told me. and i knew why she did, because i used to hate being alone. yesterday however i went to oostende, up north at the coast. the north sea at my feet, i had a day i will remember [...]
A few days later than we expected, but today it has finally rained. I mean real rain, the sort that comes with thunder and lightening, that announces, “I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere soon”. As everyone else raced inside for shelter I couldn’t help but go outside, to stand in it, feel the water [...]
That is all that Green Fleet tell me it will take to neutralise my carbon emissions from last year. A small price to pay to have them plant those trees for me.
If you’re in Australia, check them out. If you’re somewhere else, do the world a favour and look for an equivalent organisation.

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let’s pretend we’re just two people and
You’re not better than me
I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel [...]
“Actions have consequences, and people acting responsibly can make a difference. I believe that how you eat, and how you choose your food, is an act which combines the political— your place in the world of other people—with the most intensely personal—the way you use your mind and your senses, together, for the gratification of [...]
„Wo immer schweres Leid über die Menschen gebracht wird, geht es uns alle an. Vergesst auch nicht: Wer Unrecht lange geschehen lässt, bahnt dem nächsten den Weg. Auch nach der Epochenwende 1989 und 1990 konnte die Welt nicht nur ‚gut‘ werden. Unsere Zeit allerdings steckt, wie kaum eine andere zuvor, voller Möglichkeiten – zum Guten [...]

Tystnad
Tunnel, avfart
När taxametern slagits på
försvinner allt i regnet
utan spår
& som en viskning
ser Vi syner nu igen
Det här är nåt
som inte ens har hänt…
Tystnad
En rökfri viskning
Det är exakt vad Vi vill ha
det luftkonditionerade ljudet
av fart
Du är värd att dö för
Ni kan skratta om Ni vill
Håna oss Vi rör oss Ni står still…
Lyssnar
stel & fastspänd
& när paniken [...]
