In the right mind of music.

Some weeks ago, my parents and I went to an old movie theater in town to watch a live performance of the band of a relative's husband. The movie theater in it self is beautiful, with the resemblance of a small operah house, and it's connected to a quaint coffee shop whose staff is mostly consisted by tremendously courteous ladys and men with interesting beards and hobbies.

As I sat in the comfy red movie chair, in the dull light of the theater and listened to the hushed mumble of the people around me, three men walked up on the stage and started to play. And everything suddenly turned in to a deaper shade of all the colours surrounding me.

I'm sure all of you have been moved by the subtle magic of music, and if you've listened to a really good live music performence, you'd know that there is nothing quite like it. For a while now, my begeting of fealings has been more of an effort rather than the natural flow of faithful contancy that it normally is. But when that music started, my heart strained every string in my chest and started to sing along. And for that whole night, the dullness lifted of my mind.

That evening my thoughts wandered on and of, from the dark cealing to the secret places of my heart, and I found my self captured by the musicians's hands - how delacetly and deliberatly they moved over their instruments. And the play of expressions over their faces - how they seamed to feal every note and move there after.

That night that was all there was - there in the mind of the music. And all it took was a piano, a bass, a set of drums and three devoted musicians to make them come alive.

A story to tell.

Min första resa till Thailand var för åtta år sedan, när jag var tolv. Fem år senare åkte vi dit igen, och de båda resorna har etsat sig fast hos mig, men av så väldigt olika anledningar. Idag, så många historier (och ett liv som levts) senare, finner jag mig åter tänka tillbaka till de resorna, och vad det var som kom att få dem så betydelsefulla för mig. Den resan som kom senast beskriver den historia jag levde i just då och den kom, på sätt och vis, att bli en milstolpe i allt det som ledde mig fram till den punkten. Inte så mycket på grund av vad som hände där som vad jag upplevde i mig själv när jag kom att befinna mig utanför och bortanför den plats där min verkliga historia ägde rum. Det var vad det blev. Mitt andrum. Mitt utanförperspektiv och min djupdykning i mitt inre. Den första resan till Thailand var en annan milstolpe i mitt liv, men inte utifrån min historia, utan av de historier jag mötte i andra på vägen. Det blev mitt innanförskap och en överskådning. En inblick i de

The turning of the page.

I haven't been writing here for a while now, because though so much has been happening in my life lately I'm finding it hard to find anything I want to write about. It's not that the things I'm experiencing aren't inspiring and good, but frankly sometimes they're hard to take in, and I'm finding that I'm starting to crave for stories because I'm finding it difficult to write my own. And yet every time I find one that offers me something to hold on to, something else makes it aversing and forces me to turn to the next thing. I know that at some point we all have to end up here, at that time in the story where you have everything but you can't make out what to do with it so you're forced to watch it crumble beneath your hands, to see it through until the next chapter or the next line that enables you to get a firmer grip again. I don't want to read the story ahead to see when things will be starting to turn around, but it's hard to watc

Mirrors and pebbles.

"Love" Noimp said, staring blankly out over the lake. "What do you think that is Luna? All those stories.." He trailed off. Then he took a deep breath and looked at Luna. It had shivered, she thought. His breath had shivered. "That's just it. There´s so many stories. Every where I look, every person I meet have some kind of story to tell. But how much of that is really true, huh? How much of what you hear and see is not just dreams and fables. Stories, made to look real." He drew a hand through his hair and left it hanging from his neck. He shook his head. Like he was trying to shake it all off and said quietly "They're just.. coated in small truths to make the big lie more plausible." Luna sat staring at him. She didn't know what to do. Didn't know what to say. He, who was always so composed. Always so coldly calculating and taking control of every situation. Where did all this come from? "And the bad ones?" She new
