冬眠

metsänpeitto – forest blanket. In Finnish mythology, this is the name of a place or state of mind where you can be led by magical creatures of the forest (dwarves?) and where even a familiar forest can seem strange and deceptive. in the past, people who got lost in the forest for unexplained reasons said that they 'fell under the forest cover'. 'but there's a way out!' that's what my grandmother used to say, which her mother taught her once when they got lost in a cloudberry swamp. 'I need to turn my socks inside out!'

tbh i am not the person you want to be texting in an emergency, my notifications are off and i’m on Do Not Disturb. i haven’t had a ringtone since the dark years of ‘06. i’ll text u back in four (business) months like “hope that worked out, the Lord works in mysterious ways xx”

to lose my mind

Sunsets! Some more daily landscape paintings.

i sat quietly beside the window, closed my eyes and listened to the rhythm of gentle waves hitting the sea shore...
