Dance for me...

When young and unaffected by others opinions I used to dance with horses. 
You create a special bond where both human and horse leave everything else and sees only the other. You leave all physical connections and instead communicate with your eyes, body and mind. When fulfilled, your movements will become one. 

I haven't done this since I last had horses around me and now, having the opportunity to ride and handle this beautiful stallion I managed to enter my young mind and once more disappear in the dance. 


Smultron


I saw "Jamie Oliver does Stockholm" last night. They picked mushrooms and cooked them on a fire with beautiful & fresh ingredients and walked through fields of blueberries. Natural berries, herbs, roots etc. are the best! I live in a country now where a lot (!) is poisonous, where people have learnt by trial and error. If you cook this berry three times and then leave it for one day and then cook it again before you eat it you wont die. Seeing Jamie in the forest made me miss summer breakfasts, handpicked berries and homemade granola. "Smultron" - Wild Strawberries are part of the Swedish dream. Pippi Longstockings has made them into a-something-you-have-to-do-every-summer-thing and they are the best. Squat in the grass, line them on a straw, sit down in the sun and enjoy!

And now I've been tried by one of these...


Worse than a wasp, pain from finger tip to elbow, itchy as a lunatic.
Do I have to tell you he suffered an aggressive death just after the incident?!
