Sinnsro

-Gi meg styrke til å forandre det jeg kan,

 sinnsro til å akseptere det jeg ikke kan forandre,

 og visdom til å se forskjellen-

Mot ukjente landskap

Denne uro e ein vind

som rive i seilet,

- et sting i søvnig sinn,

Denne uro e ein sti

Mot ukjente landskap,

mot alt som kan gå meg forbi.

Så min uro må bli.

Denne uro e ein gnist

som tenne opp bålet

og blir ein brann te sist.

Denne uro e ein del

av liv eg har levd i.

For den som sette alt på spel,

har ein uro i sjel.

Må min uro holda stand

som vind, som bål og brann.

I alt eg har av tilmålt tid:

La min uro forbli.

Sacrifice

A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
 What he meant is nothing comes without a price.
 So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose.
 Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right,
 and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building.

 Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming,
 when we don't have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss.

 When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around,
 that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.



You can bet your life

      Yes, all that you’ve give me, I know

      But all you’ve cost me, you know

      Sums up to nothing much you know,

      nothing much at all

      

Sorry for not being what you needed

For not possessing what you

Think you want

Don’t know about anyone who does

By the way, is that why

you’re still you?

Still within yourself

Tell me which part I loved

And which one I hate the most?

Did it get you ready for later

Did the others fade out, like me?

well...

I won’t come near you again

You can bet your life

I don’t think I

Even want to see you

Ever again

-Unni Wilhelmsen-



Freedom

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.

-Lewis Hine-

 



Hope

No one can take away

my hopes and dreams

of a

new start

and a

new beginning



Autumn

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

-Albert Camus-



Elsewhere



I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of

reaching out and reaching in

holding out holding in

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

Have patience

Please don't push me,

I need to walk these stairs on my own

If you want to go faster, that`s alright.

I can`t go faster than I am able to.

Please don't push me!

I need to stay here for a while

Rest a little, reflect a little, weep a little...

go back one step, feel if I`m ready to move on

Please don't push me!

It hurts to trip over...

Maybe I`ll trip over anyway,

but at least I`ll do it my way

It`s safer that way.

Don`t try to convince me

the next step is easier

just because you`ve walked these roads before

I feel safe when you`re waiting here with me.

It is safe with you around,

I need someone to hold on to,

someone who knows the next step.

It's hard to take all these steps alone...

I'm heading on...have patience

Please don`t push me!

 

 

Autumn leaves

The falling leaves drift by my window

The falling leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall



Courage

-Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow"-

Dagene som kom og gikk



Det kan være man oppsøker "gamle stier"
 når man føler seg ensom og alene

Man gjør det fordi det er godt å være der
la tankene vandre der...

 la tårene komme

slippe ut vonde følelser..

Sette seg ned...

 la minnene strømme på

de gode minnene

de gode minnene man ikke trodde fantes

minnene om en tid som er forbi

Det var en av de dagen som kom og gikk...

Humiliation

The last humiliation

The future

 We spend our whole lives worrying about the future,

 planning for the future,

 trying to predict the future,

 as if figuring it out will cushion the blow.

 But the future is always changing.

 The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes.

 But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself.

 The future is never the way we imagined it.

People come into your life for a reason

People come into your life for a reason. The negative people usually are there to teach you what you don’t want to become, treat you how you don’t want to be treated, and to show you what you don’t deserve. Learn from it, let them teach you, and then let them go...





Sometimes the scars won't seem to heal, cause it`s too much to erase.

But eventually the memories will fade...

Moving on

Life is about making the right decisions

and moving on.

 

The road

Det finnes veier som er så smale at man må gå dem alene...



To set free...

“If you love someone, set them free.

If they come back they're yours;

 if they don't

 they never were.”

-Richard Bach-

Drømmer

Fra boken "La meg synge deg stille sanger" Av Lisa Olsson

Ro...

Ro er ikke en varig tilstand. Det eksisterer i noen øyeblikk.

 Flyktig....

 Borte før vi visste den var der.

 Vi kan oppleve det når som helst, i stillheten fra naturen, i en fremmed sin handling av godhet, en oppgave som krever full fokus eller bare komforten av en gammel rutine.

Hver dag opplever vi alle disse øyeblikkene av ro.

Tingen er å vite når dè øyeblikkene er der, slik at vi kan

 omfavne dem,

 leve i dem,

 nyte dem...

A star for you

 I know I`m not someone

Who can bring a star for you

But If it was possible

I could have reached that far for you

 

The moon

 

Beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon

-Oscar Wilde-

Stand by

The good old days

Take me back to the good old days

where I can dance to the tune of a song.

Take me back where the family I love

is together like we all belong.

Take me back to the good old days

those days went by so fast.

Take me back, let me start all again

and this time make love last.

Take me back to the good old days

to correct the things I did wrong.

Take me back let me correct those mistake

that I have regretted for oh so long.

Selfish

You have come to show me another side of you.

The part where you are selfish in everything you do.

Imagine what I'm feeling and what this does to me.

You have got me feeling that you don't care for me.

I don't feel that on your mind.

It's how you make me feel.

It's give and take when you try to get it right.

I don't think you understand.

You haven't taken time.

-Gabrielle-

Even In The Quietest Moments

Even in the quietest moments

I wish I knew what I had to do

And even though the sun is shining

Well I feel the rain --- here it comes again, dear...

And even though the stars are listening

And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep

And then I create a silent movie

You become the star, is that what you are, dear?

But still the tears keep falling

They're raining from the sky

Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high

Bergen, the city of rain

I want to feel I’m alive

All my living days

I will live as I desire

I want to feel I’m alive

Knowing I was good enough

I have never lost who I was

I have only left it sleeping

Maybe I never had a choice

Just the will to stay alive

If I could turn back time... I would...

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

And you'd stay

Would you love me?

Like you used to do?

If I could turn back time... I would...

 

-cher-

I can't make you love me

turn down the lights

turn down these voices

inside my head

lay down with me

tell me no lies

just hold me close

don't patronize me

if you don't...

you can't make your heart feel

somethin' it wont

here in the dark, in these final hours

i will lay down my heart

cuz i can't make you love me

if you don't...

Someone to hold me

I need someone to hold me

I need someone to take my hand

Who always understands

You will never be that someone

Who's always by my side

To shelter me with pride

I will keep searching till I've found

Someone who never lets me down

Someone to catch me if I fall

To see me through it all

Someone to depend upon

I can always call

Someone always standing tall

Someone who will catch me if I fall

Weekend reflections

STOPP KRAFTLINJA I HARDANGER

Jeg elsker å ta bilder av Norges vakre natur, og i forrige uke var vi i vakre Hardanger. Fjordene gir Hordaland sin karakter, og det er de høye vakre fjellene og fjordene som setter sitt preg på landskapet. Hardangerfjorden med sine 179 km fra hav til fjell er den lengste fjorden i Hordaland. Hardanger er Norges frukthage.

På det øverste bildet har jeg prøvd å photoshoppet det noenlunde slik regjeringen ønsker det skal se ut etter hvert, med en 90 km lang 420 kV kraftlinje tvers gjennom Hardanger.

Monstermastene vil bli opp til 45m høye og kraftgaten vil bli 40 meter bred

Monstermastene vil nok desverre ruve enda mer i landskapet enn bildet viser, da dette bilde selvsagt er dårlig manipulert, og jeg har heller ikke fått med de enorme og lange kraftledningene.

Det nederste bildet er hvordan det vil se ut med sjøkabler.

One day I'll fly away

One day I'll fly away

Leave all this to yesterday

What more could your Love do for me?

When will Love be through with me

Why live life from dream to dream?

And dread the day when dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away
