There once was a blacksmith at the far end of a tiny village. Every day you could hear the clinking noise in the village each time he threw his hammer upon a hot iron. Clink, clink, clink. He welded, forged,

The grass was greener than anywhere else she had ever seen it. There was a large garden, an old wooden shack, goats and cows, and a well-furnished house at the end of the pasture. The property was surrounded

Dear friends all around the world, it has been months since I last gave a sign of life from me. Still I am in Mexico. The sun still shines and the weather is still hot. So hot that it feels weird to think

In January 2017 I launched the "unconditional January". A facebook-event, location independent, free to attend by anyone in the world. Every day, for the whole month, we would set a little

There is this story about Tiger Woods - and gosh I'm not even sure if it is true or not. "Screw it," I thought, I share it anyways. Because it inspired me, and sometimes stories are just nice

15.08.2018 - Yesterday we ran out of water here. I realised that, since we live in our new place I didn't organise any water supply. Well, water was something we took for granted anyways. Who would ever

Tuesday. 14.08.2018: I realised this morning that, just this year, I wrote about 300 articles and small posts. And a novel. And it feels good. Not necessarily the number, but to see that I put in the work.

"It was meant to be," she said to me shortly after we met. I just finished school and was on summer-vacation. Was she lying? I don't know. But I guess it made her feel good. Well, it made me

Jimi had his guitar. Roger has his tennis-racket. Steve had his mac. ​​And I believe we all have this one thing in which we seem to flourish. This thing which makes us forget time and allows us to lighten
