http://owlandnightingale.blogspot.com/2014/11/scandinavian-love.html
The Owl and the Nightingale. Friday, 28 November 2014. Tíminn er eins og vatnið,. Og vatnið er kalt og djúpt. Eins og vitund mín sjálfs. Og tíminn er eins og mynd,. Sem er máluð af vatninu. Og mér til hálfs. Og tíminn og vatnið. Renna veglaust til þurrðar. Inn í vitund mín sjálfs. Time is like the water,. And the water is cold and deep. Like my own consciousness. And time is like a picture,. Which is painted of water,. Half of it by me. And time and the water. Flow trackless to extinction. 8220;I am goin...

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Thursday, January 3, 2013. 8220;We walked at night towards a cafe blooming with Japanese lanterns and I followed your white shoes gleaming like radium in the damp darkness.

http://thepainterstudio.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Sunday, August 28, 2011. Where Dreams May Come. This is the time of year. When almost every night. The frail, illegal fire balloons appear. Climbing the mountain height,. Rising toward a saint. Still honored in these parts,. The paper chambers flush and fill with light. That comes and goes, like hearts. Once up against the sky it's hard. To tell them from the stars -. Planets, that is - the tinted ones:. Venus going down, or Mars,. But if it's still they steer between.
