The fisherman´s wife

 

The fisherman´s wife is looking out over the sea...

The fisherman´s wife is looking for her husband...

The fisherman´s wife is looking for her son...

 

The fisherman´s wife is looking for her brother...

The fisherman´s wife is looking for her father...

  

 

They all went out with boats,

to harvest from the often so rewarding sea... 

 

But she always know in her heart and mind; 

the sea gives, and the sea takes... 

  

 

Many husbands, 

many son´s, brothers 

and fathers are with the sea now...

Those that never came back... 

 

The sea gives, and the sea takes...  

She knows this in her heart and mind...

A family must eat and make a living...
 

 

A price that can be high...

Calm and beautiful today, 

but fierce and strong tomorrow...

How will it be tomorrow? 

As calm and beautiful as today? 

 

Or will it be angry,

with no mercy and regret 

and take those who came to harvest...

She knows what can be...

But in her heart she believes and pray 

for a safe return... 

So she´ll come every day 

to look for their safe return home 

from the sea... 

She is the fisherman´s wife... 

Hands in chains

Heavy to hold... 

Heavy to wear... 

They feel so cold... 

Feels like no one would care... 

Can you see? 

 

What is wrapped around my wrist? 

I want to break away... 

Run to be free...

Disappear far into the mist...

I know now what I must do... 

Use my strength to break off these chains in two

And once again be free, and no more hands in chains...

Life

Life is exploration and discoveries.

 Life is freedom to speech...

Life is having someone to lean against in troublesome times...

Sometimes in life we feel like puppets in string, losing control over our life.

Sometimes we only sit and watch life go by.

But, sometimes in life we also feel excitement even from the strangest encounters. 

Sometimes, when we least expect it, someone is there...

Life is celebration… Like a child dancing around a fountain, finding joy and happiness… 

Life is when we do extraordinary things that give joy to someone else…

Life is finding joy when we are playing and laughing together…

When life begins; we hang on to someone trusted and taking our first steps.

We seek shelter from rain, wind and storm…

Then for a moment; a small world is invited to see our love and happiness that is shared …

Life is connecting with others...

Communicating with words or with a look…" I can see you too"...

 Connecting without a word, captured in a picture…

 Eyes can tell a story… A story from experience and life itself… Eyes can tell a story of dreams and strength… 

Life is ability to create…

Creating something new, or fix what was broken to give it a new life…

 Life is a monument over men and woman that has been before... 

They created the way for others to follow…

Life is what we live today, what we had yesterday and what we are waiting for tomorrow wherever the path may lead us…

Lofoten

While growing up in the Lofoten island I never noticed the beautiful scenery; with the tall, tagged mountains, the amazing lights and the clear water and air. 

I could only see the rapid change in weather, and never knowing if it would rain, snow or be a bright sunny day. 

I hated the snow, rain and icy roads

When I moved away at the age of 20, and returned for holidays I started noticing something. 

The air, the changing weather, the water... Something was different. 

Then I realized

This place is really magnificent

 

It is just beautiful 

And the amazing part is

I had to spread my wings and move away to see it!
