Small/big

The small step of yesterday felt really big today. Enormous relief, even though nothing is done yet. Or, I have a date and a time, and that's quite something too.

Me and a few friends got interviewed today, about the Taizè-mass we're arranging this Thursday (19 pm in the Turku Cathedral, up front. Welcome!). It was fun to talk about something we're so excited about. It's really crazy that we're actually arranging something as cosmic and wonderful as this.

And I visited my egenlärare today. My "own teacher". We discussed post-Christianity, and I got convinced of that I am on the right track.

Lovely lonely lunch (LLL) at the vegetarian place. The hippie in the cash desk thought my Indian shawl was just the thing to complete my outfit.

And I had an embarrasding Pekkah-incident. Which I got to share with several people during the day. I demonstrated the misunderstanding with excellent moves and precision. Good story-telling is a rare bliss. And good listeners even more rare.

And we had company over for Huippumalli haussa (Americas next top model) this evening, which was nicer than nice. Really nice.

So things weren't that bad today.
I guess I could be thankful.

Step

I took a small step today. I hope it will start a change of things.
The way things are now just isn't good.
Humans shouldn't be sad.

Friends and inspiration

It was a big day
and a small day
and talk flowed freely
while the fall said goodbye and
the rain turned into
crispy drops of
moist.

I enjoy bread-breaking with friends.
I love inspiring talks.
I like visionaries.

I like laid-back studying.
I like talking to professors who are human.
Who don't mind us interrupting, but who
cares about how we are doing.
Not just study-wise, but everything-wise.

And I like the fact that people are telling me to stop doing too much.
My problems aren't just imagined anymore.

Soon.
I'm going to take the leap.

Maybe tomorrow.

och åskan går

Isaiah 30:15

This is what the Bible has to say about stress:

(It's in Swedish because its funnier than the English translations)

Så sade Herren Gud, Israels Helige:
Vänd om och var stilla,
då kan ni räddas,
genom lugn och tillit
vinner ni styrka.
-Men ni ville inte.
Ni sade:
"Nej, på hästar skall vi flyga fram."


I recognize myself.
I have no patience for calmness and confidence.
No.
I want to fly front with horses.
Say yesyesyes
to everything.


Even though

it's
kind of

killing me.

I agree

with Camilla Lif. Attend my funeral instead.

Beautiful English sentence 2

"I love sleep.
My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake"

Mittwoch

I went to the dentists today. She repaired my tongue (apparently that's waht dentists do). Now my tongue is the prettiest tongue in the world. (Makes me wan to show it to everyone.)

I bought 12 litres of wine today. Not for myself only though.

And I discussed important matters in our coffee room. Domestical violence with J & J . Important clerical matters with lovely E.

Now: intense work on my English presentation for tomorrow. (I'm gonna talk about the image of God in Nick Cave's album no more shall we part.)

Ok. Changed my mind.

I like this layout-thingy. Now I blog from a pink city with fluffy clouds.

Shirley Bassey – The Banana Boat Song


This is by the way the day that I:
-voted for a friend
-received a spotify-invite
-had my lovely sister here for a few hours. We planned my Stockholm-trip and spent quality time.

Nope

I don't like the new layout. The font is ugly. (Not an optimist today, come back tomorrow for such luxuries.)

Aggressions

The Old Testament is not good for me.
Or.
No.
The Old Testament is very good for me.

But,
attending lectures about the Old Testament
makes me aggressive.

Seriously,
if it is said that someone lived 937 years.

You don't need to take it word for word.

God is greater than that.

And God is greater than exegesis,
I'm pretty sure #he can handle our attempts to understand.

That's all.
And I don't feel a tiny bit heretic for saying this.
Nope.


(But still,
I don't like being this aggressive.
I'll try o calm my nerves.
I'll try to respect the opinions of others.
I'll try.)
