Reminder for myself
We tend to view body and mind as separate things. They aren’t. Your mind is as much a part of your body as your organs, arms and head.

Crooked bread
I think people who say: “Two wrongs doesn’t make a right”, aren’t people who tend to cut bread very crookedly.

An Arctic Sunset-rise
Greenland’s National Day is the day of summer solstice, when our daylight is at its longest. The midnight sun barely hits the horisont before it turns upwards again.
