The walk


I put on a lot of clothes, two think sweaters, because it is minues 9 degrees outside. All that I can to protect me from the cold, and still be able to walk. I decided very quickly that this was not good for me, so I decided to do two things at once. Go to the store and walk:) I chose a store a little further away from me, so that I did have ten minutes walking one way and ten minutes the other way.

What did I think about? It is funny how when you start you think about the task, but it only take a minute or so before you forget and you mind wanders. I thought about how I am today. That I am feeling okay and not okay at the same time. That I almost feel the anticipation of what is going on inside physically in my body. It almost feels like a dark cloud is about to lift off of me. I walked past Kampen church and notice for the first time that the church has stain colour glass. And I thought it was a shame that the church wasn't always lit inside. I have probably seen it before, but not when it comes to its rightful place with the light inside of the church. I thought it was a shame that the churches in Norway these days have opening hours...

Kampen is a really nice place, old houses and buildings. Very cosy as most of my neighbourhood is. I reached the store without much other reaching my memory. On my way back I saw the moon, my precious guiding light. And I saw a woman standing naked just where I was only it was way back when there was no buildings there, and hills around the sea was covered with woods. She was standing with her arms to the sky, palms up to greet the moon, that will be full in a couple of days. And I thought how it isn't hard to understand that the moon holds such a sway over humans heart. I don't think it is a person alive that hasn't gazed at the moon and felt strangely moved by the sight.

That was about it. My cheeks are still cold, maybe also because they were frozen with tears. My eyes always water when it is cold. And that makes the cold even worse. I am not complaining. I feel good after the walk. Just stating the fact)))
