SATURDAY 14 AUG AS FROM NOWHERE
Could a way be shown from a day in a cell phone, or could an answer appear as from nowhere?
Yes, where can one answer hear that can bring one near, to freedom and truth for both adults and youth?
Do hope all can find a way that is not leading a stray, in this world of distraction where all need meaningful action. Could a way be shown from a day in a cell phone, no, surely an answer can appear as from nowhere.
SATURDAY 19 JUNE BEAUTIFUL SIMPLICITY
Imagine; the sun shining, the ferry filled with people and out to sea it goes. The wind increases and the water splash up onto the ferry.
The tempo slows down already on the way on board and all seem to be pleased, yes, a calm like a soft blanket lays over the whole trip and its travellers.
Well arrived people walking pilot first, then cyclists, some moped riders and last the motorists off the ferry and a land on an island where calm is given, yes, anything else would be silly.
And see, there is someone you know and there is the beautiful fortress, the old wooden as well as the newly built houses all framed in the most beautiful archipelago nature one could ever imagine a sunny day in June, yes, and the two swans of course with there five nestlings.
Imagine; the sun shining, the ferry filled once again with people and out to sea it goes. Well on board on the ferry again the shoulders have dropped and the smile broaden just by being allowed a small part of this day in beautiful simplicity, thank you.
SATURDAY 24 APRIL
PURPOSEFUL ACT
Ideas, thought and organized planning are freedom.
Many make a list before going grocery shopping, many children make a Christmas list for Santa Claus, few grown ups make a list for their life; a plan of how one whishes’ to live.
If one wants children to believe that they can become what they want and live a good life, surely so can even grown-ups do. For yours truly this became obvious when one whish from childhood days was offered as a grown up; "Right, that was and is what I want. How could one forget?" Had forgot to make a list, a plan, a clear dream as a grown up.
With a Christmas list all through life things becomes clearer and things that are not important tend to fall away, because one is focusing on what one wants more than on what one do not want.
So, we can call things that are not seen as though they were seen and the unseen becomes seen.
Yes; ideas, thought and organized planning are freedom.

INNER DIALOG - OUTER REALITY
One creates one´s future by through one´s inner dialog. If one changes one´s inner dialog one changes what one says and one´s reality.
To talk to oneself is something we all do. We can not stop talking to one self just as we can not stop eating and drinking. All we can do is to direct our inner dialog and its content.
Most of us are unaware that our inner dialog creates the circumstances of our life and it has been said that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Do we know though that one´s thinking follow the path of one´s inner dialog.
One creates one´s future by through one´s inner dialog. If one changes one´s inner dialog one changes what one says and one´s reality. So, be aware of your inner dialog and direct it.
“If you will assume your desire and live there as though it were true, no power on earth can stop it from becoming a fact.”
Neville Goddard
SATURDAY 13 JANUARY
ANYWAY“People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.”
SATURDAY 30 JANUARYINNER PEACE IS STRENGTHOn the farm where he grew up with all his siblings the elderly man sat alone after that his wife had died before him. He knew the farm, the village, and the community where he had lived his whole life. He knew when the swallows arrived during the year, he knew all the different weather shifts and he had peace – something he had been given from his parents and the environment he grew up in.
It was winter and he was now an elderly man that went out on the yard for an errand to the car when he slipped and fell underneath the car, so bad that one leg broke and there he laid.
Around him came the neighbours, yes, and even some relatives that happened to pass by. All where worried for him that now lay there seemingly helpless and an intense discussion started about which way was the best to help him. One though this, another thought that and it seemed like there was only one person that was calm – the man with a broken leg underneath the car.
"Let one of you go and get the broad plank in the barn, put me on that and drag me into the house while one other of you calls my son who will come with first aid kit as soon as he has the time," the man declared from his supine position.
With that said and done the man came into the warmth on a broad plank and the son came with assistants, yes, and to the hospital eventually.
It went so bad that the led had to be amputated and the man had to spend the rest of his life on crutches. Regardless of all this the man kept his calm and even when the forest where up for inspection you could see the man with crutches make his way through the most miserable terrain.
The man knew the farm, the village, and the community where he had lived his whole life. He knew when the swallows arrived during the year, he knew all the different weather shifts and he had peace – with or without leg.
SATURDAY 23 JANUARY All I ask of you
”No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
... Love me—that's all I ask of you”
All I ask of you,
from Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Can one be too young or too old to learn, no. Can one ever learn all, no.
A young violinist of high calibre got called in as a soloist in short notice due to a sickness. One rehearsal and then concert, which for this young man already was common. The violinist delivered the concert with panache, got standing ovations by the audience and the orchestra was clearly very grateful and pleased with this upcoming violinist – everything was perfect.
The very talented soloist received flowers and the ovations warmly, turned around and walked of the stage. The really observant could notice a small, small grimace, as if he was not completely satisfied, on his way of the stage. This while all in the concert hall, now both on stage as well as in the audience, stood applauding.
Can one be too young or too old to learn, no. Can one ever learn all, no – there is no end to learning.
Anyone that remembers one’s childhood dreams? Are grateful for the dreams one had then, those that have been fulfilled, those that will be fulfilled and those that can be fulfilled.
Dreams come true. We all have dreams; they are what make life tick. They keep us moving forward. They keep us growing. Dreams make us think new things, in new ways and for better reasons.
Dreams helps us to set goals - which gives a good life.
Grateful for dreams one have today that gives goals & direction with a road full of challenges. Failures and eventually fulfilled dreams.
Anyone that remembers one’s childhood dreams? Are grateful for the dreams one had then, those that have been fulfilled, those that will be fulfilled and those that can be fulfilled – because they bring meaning.
TUESDAY 5 JANUARY TWELFTH NIGHT
"If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more;
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."

TRUTH IN TRUTH
Verily, there is truth? Sometimes you just want to know, yes, and sometimes you just have to know - what truth is.
In a time where information is flowing around us like never before it might seem hard to find truth, even how much one needs it. Even how much one search for it.
Do believe though that we all sometime in our life have known, yes, in ourselves felt, a truth and that we always can find it – in ourselves. Truth is though larger than anyone can imagine so it looks like we have to learn truth bit by bit.
The trick seems to be to not run away, neither physical nor virtually, the truth that we actually have felt, in ourselves, and actually may develop all through life. To learn truth bit by bit.
The good with truth is that it is constant, something solid to reach for and lean to, bit by bit, on life’s journey.
Verily, there is truth? Sometimes you just want to know, yes, and sometimes you just have to know - what truth is.
Which truth is needed right now?
This week a virtual recording of a family and school production was produced under the direction of Christoffer Nobin along with Norrköping Symphony Orchestra in Louis De Geer concert hall in Norrköping.
The performance is based on ”Nasse hittar en stol” written by Sven Nordqvist whose story the actors Åsa Forsberg & Tobias Almborg here portrayed.
The orchestras own gentlemen Petter Svensson, Lars Gärd, Martin Orraryd and Anders Dahlstedt displayed the whole armoury of percussion there in the back of the orchestra. Gratefully even yours truly was given a part of this virtual recording.
Thank you, all, for a lovely week in Norrköping.
Information about the date of the broadcast:
At Saturday at two,
the clock strikes you,

Yes, when time seems to fly by so,
time stops and though your thinking sore,
there is hope evermore.
Clock true - bring peace and hope galore.

2021 goal & planning calendar. Release 26 October in Swedish.
Dreams come true. We all have dreams; they are what make life tick. They keep us moving forward. They keep us growing. Dreams make us think new things, in new ways and for better reasons.

To be offered the opportunity to write one´s goal down and then be able to check them off, one by one, is incredibly satisfying and you can start using 2021 goal & planning calendar anytime of the year.
Beautiful photos by Ted Karlberg.
SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER TIME & PATIENCE
A person with character sees success as an adventure, not as a destination with a certain time for its fulfilment. The latter is a result of thinking without patience, sadly.
If one always is looking somewhere else, if it so is down or to the mountaintop, one usually misses that which is right in font of you.
Which leads to missing all the good in life - here and now.
Patience is not a passive quality though, because true patience is so much more than waiting.
A person with character sees success as an adventure, not as a destination with a certain time for its fulfilment. If one needs to see results tomorrow one put pressure on everyone - if one can ait in patience through the tough times one always bear fruit - eventually.
LÖRDAG 2 OCTOBER
GRATEFUL IS THE WORD
Grateful after an evening in Gävle concert hall celebrating Beethoven 250 years including a young very talented violinist, Johan Dalene. Violin playing that inspires all the way back in the orchestra and becomes a memory for a long time to come.
If one is able to hear and see Johan Dalene play - do so. Recommend it highly.
Thank you Glenn, Anders and Gävle Symphony Orchestra for letting one be a part of such lovely evening - grateful is the word.
SATURDAY 25 SEPTEMEBER
PRIDE AND VANITY
What kind of guy puts a picture of himself in a tailcoat on Facebook? A drummer who wants to be seen as special or something?
A bit proud and vain I guess always been some of that drummers features. And when his hair was taken from him he was challenged within his own weaknesses - pride and vanity.
A cap he had worn, to try to hide his head, that eventually only had a few hairs left. This had been going on a few years and started in the beard with small empty spots. Eventually, all facial- and head hair was gone. Even eyebrows, eyelashes and some gone on arms, legs and chest.
In the midst of all this misery, there were still something inside of him saying; ”But hey, if you can make it through this, what can you not accomplish?”
He pulled out an old picture of himself where he was happy, healthy with hair on his head. It became his goal - to be and look like that again. Then he started to change his habits, one by one. Bit by bit, day by day, month by month and year by year. He developed a goal- and planning calendar - today called 2021 Q, to help him stay on track and make him see his own progress.
4 years later all his head hair was back. And he was happy and healthy, yes, in great shape and greatful for that he had been able to learn so much about himself and his own way of being.
So, he was a bit proud over his vanity, that had made him turn adversity into success regarding his health.
Yes, in life in general really. Thank you.
Ps. The drummer is still using and developing this calendar yearly to keep him on track toward new goals och dreams in life. So, which are your dreams & goals? Ds.
SATURDAY 5 SEPTEMEBER
AGENCY
In the time when wood burners were installed 5 people came to a house to talk about how one could take a big heavy wood burner down to the cellar by the narrow stairs. Another person, a little more quiet, was there too.
The 5 persons sat them self down at the kitchen table and started to discuss. Should one lay the wood burner down on its back, should there be one person in every corner of the wood burner to carry it, or could one disassemble the wood burner? The ideas were just as many as the treats were good that they were served during their talk.
About one hour later these 5 people were ready to try their theories and went together out in the front the house where they had left the wood burner. But there were no longer no wood burner. What had happened? They looked around on the yard; there were no wood burner. They looked once more in the hallway; there were no wood burner either. They went to the stairs down to the cellar; there were no wood burner. They went down the stairs and all the way to the room that was to become the boiler room - there the wood burner stood at its place.
Yes, what could have happened? Well, a not too articulate man did what he had done so many times before in his life, the best he could with what he had in front of him. He was not so good at speaking in front of many people but he knew that most things could be solved if one just tried.
All alone this quiet man had pushed the wood burner bit by bit using a few small wood pieces underneath the wood burner, into the hallway, down the narrow stairs and all the way into the boiler room - all by himself using the means available.
Demonstrably even calm and quiet without disturbing anyone.
SATURDAY 15 AUGUSTI
MIRROR MIRROR
Can a mirror say anything about one´s well being?
Surely, we all have looked ourselves in the mirror one morning with our
head down, because of something that did not go that well the day
before. Yet, one has heard that joy cometh in the morning.
A
good, happy and outgoing person that can look oneself straight in the
eye in the mirror and like what he or she sees can at one time in life
end up in a bad place without being aware of it. This will be clear
though when one put oneself in front of a mirror to look into one´s own eye´s.
Guess it is a way to be honest with oneself and something we all need to do from time to time to see where we stand.
This discovery helps one to know which way to go, which improvements
one needs and actually wants to do. To live one´s life more true again.
Because if one can not look oneself in the eye how can somebody else do
so.
The beauty of this life is that there is always a path
forward - always. And the first law of learning is repetition. So, then
one can practise one´s way back to one´s own true self with the help of a
mirror.
Can a mirror say anything about one´s well being? Yes -
to have joy in the morning we need to do good the day before and we get
to start over everyday.
SATURDAY 1 AUGUST
GOLD - WHAT I
S
GOLD TO YOU?
As a young person the answer may be one thing. When we are all grown up
we might answer something else and when we grow older we might, again,
answer something new. Somethings have stayed the same, in my case, but
my values have changed, bit by bit, hopefully. Somebody has said; "I
will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden
wedge of Ophir."
So - what is gold to you?
Feel free.
SATURDAY 25 JULY
BETWEEN THOUGHT AND ACCOMPLISHMENT
The bridge between thought and accomplishment, yes, the bridge between inspiration and value achievement is discipline - because all good things are upstream.
Failing in life is failing to think today. Failing to act today, failing to climb to strive and to learn. To keep trying, day-by-day.
The danger is looking at an undisciplined day and concluding that no great harm has been done. It does not seem like such a bad day. But ad up these days to make a year and then ad up those years to make a lifetime and perhaps you can now see how repeating todays small failures can easily turn your life in to a major disaster.
Success on the other hand is the same process in reverse.
Discipline is like a set of magic keys that unlocks all the doors of health, culture, high self-esteem, joy, accomplishment, satisfaction and success.
Discipline makes you feel better about yourself aand even the smallest discipline can have an incredible effect on your attitude.
The good feeling that comes from starting a new discipline is almost as good as the feeling that comes from the accomplishment of the discipline.
A new discipline alters life´ s direction and the new destination is yet to come and you can change direction immediately.
The bridge between thought and accomplishment, yes, the bridge between inspiration and value achievement is discipline - because all good things are upstream.
With discipline you can not believe the list of positive moves you can make in the first day of your new beginning.

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
To turn the other cheek is not always easy;
do believe that it helps though, because whom of us has not his or her
own faults. Wish to share a true story about turning the other cheek,
literally, and the power of the spoken word in truth.
A young man
had an intellectually challenged sister and in school some of the boys
was teasing him about that. They called her names and made fun of her in
front of him, day-by-day and week-by-week. Something this young man could ignore, because he knew better than that.
To this story one must say that this young man was a big young man, he
was tall and a well-trained swimmer, yes, like real farm door with his
length and his broad shoulders.
One day in school his schoolmates
went too far and he had had it, so he said; "I want you to stop teasing
me and speaking badly about my sister." The other boys looked at him as
if they have just got what they wanted. "Come on," they said waving
their fists in front of him. "No," the young swimmer answered. "I do not
want to fight, I want you to stop teasing me and speaking badly about
my sister." Then came the punch, a fist stroke that hit the jaw of the
well-trained swimmer. Then, everything became quiet.
After a
while a voice was heard, just as calm as the first time, this time with a
little blood running down his jaw. "I do not want to fight, I want you
to stop teasing me and speaking badly about my sister."
The boys
looked up on the now bleeding big swimmer and the boy who had hit him
was clearly moved. He knew his guilt, felt it and it was clearly shown.
The boys turned around, walked away and never teased him again.
To turn the other cheek is not always easy; do believe that it helps
though. Hope that none of us have to end up in a situation this young
swimmer did - turning the other cheek helped him though, yes, actually
everyone in that situation and that everyone was talking about this
event long after it had happened - yes, even today, actually.
SATURDAY 4 JULY SOMETHING SOLID
"When you come to the edge of all the light that you know. And you are
about to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing one of
to things will happen for you. There will be something solid to stand on
or you will be taught how to fly."
Elisabeth Kübler-Moss
SATURDAY 28 JUNE FEAR NOT - INSIGHT OF RETRIEVAL
In a sense of being a castaway we
all need to see that retrieval is possible - always. To be able to see
and understand that there is a way forward.
Sometimes life feels
like as if one has stranded on a bank and then one try again and there
it is again, the bank. For yours truly this has happened many times
which has made him, finally, step back, reflect, yes, seek the answer
needed to make a path forward although it might feel like a bank is ahead.
Usually these banks comes just before a goal is about to be reached,
you know, when the harbour is so near you can almost touch it and just
then a problem appears. It is like one is being tested - is this
something you really want? Yes, one is offered a choice of which way to
go.
The more one know what one wants and where one wants, the
clearer and easier the choices are which guides one toward the right
path forward when the bank appears, because they do appear to all of us
from time to time.
In a sense of being a castaway we all need to
see that retrieval is possible - always. To be able to see and
understand that there is a way forward. Take a step back, listen,
reflect and seek the answer in a calm and peaceful way and let this
guidance be the lifebuoy of life.
MIDSUMMER EVE 19 JUNE HAPPY MIDSUMMER
”If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Epilog of "A midsummer night’s dream"
SATURDAY 13 JUNE
BE STILL
In times of change we all have to make decisions. The
decisions we make bring us forward or backwards and the good decisions
always seem to come from a calm mind.
Have not all of us made a bad decision as well as good decision?
Do you remember a bad decision? When did you know that it was a bad decision and how did that feel?
Do you remember a good decision? When did you know that it was a good decision and how did that feel?
The more aware one becomes of one´s decisions, both good and bad, the
better the decisions get. The bad decisions often comes when one is
stressed or feel pressured for some reason. When one is still and calm
it is so much easier to make good decisions.
Sometimes one needs
to make a bad decision to know that it was wrong. If one then is still
and calm, it moves one to a new and decision that one now knows is good,
In times of change we all have to make decisions. The decisions we make
bring us forward or backwards and the good decisions always seem to
come from a calm mind.
So, be still and know that you will find the good decisions, bit by bit.
SATURDAY 6 JUNE
YOUTHFUL & EVERLASTING HOPE
The one who ever feels old has the wrong perspective, because with hope
even times of isolation give insights and a new perspective on how one
evaluates age.
A man closed the symphonic score over a Swedish
symphony and said; "That was a nice piece, have to take that one with me
to Japan and America." This conductor continues today to travel the
world conducting the world’s leading symphonic orchestras, and yes, this
man is 92 years young - apparently.
At the age of 60, a woman wrote a book about how to heal one´s life .
30 years later she had published books about personal growth in over 35
countries.
The one who ever feels old have the wrong perspective,
because with hope even times of isolation give insights and new
perspectives on how one evaluates age.
So, what makes you feel like the youth you always are?

CLOCK BLUE
Looked at the clock just when the outing was to be enjoyed and noticed that it said quarter to two – which changed the plan.
Because it was Saturday and on Saturdays at two the clock nearby starts
to knell, as it has since immemorial times. A signal that the time has
come to go home for the acquisition worker in the small town built on
islands.
Every Saturday at two,
spring, summer, fall and winter, year after year, it knells like a
weekly base. A fine, almost devotional moment, that only occurs once a
week. A firm place in time to relate to, yes, even hold on to when
existence seem unsure.
At Saturday at two,
the clock strikes you,
as the small clock blue,
shines on even more true.
Yes, when time seems to fly by so,
time stops and though your thinking sore,
there is hope evermore.
The changed plan, brought peace and hope galore.
SATURDAY 16 MAY
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DREAM?
In times of change the learned find
them self beautifully equipped for a world that do not longer exit -
while the learners inherit the earth.
Changes, we all pass
through in life, either we like it or not, and sometimes changes come to
us all collectively - like today. If we all could learn to know that we
are here to grow - we continually enhance, regardless of age, gender or
colour.
Someone said; "Without vision, people perish." Which means that we have to have a dream - a direction forward, always.
You know, like the Kings do, they pass on the crown immedtially after
their death to the next generation, so that continuum never ends - and
are we not all Kings and Queens, in regard to an eternal perspective.
Like Chuck Mangione wrote;
"Without dreams of hope and pride, a man will die
Though his flesh still moves, his heart sleeps in the grave
Without land, man never dreams cause he's not free
All men need a place to live with dignity.
Take the crumbs from starving soldiers, they won't die
Lord said not by bread alone does man survive
Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry
Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes.
Every child belongs to mankind's family
Children are the fruit of all humanity
Let them feel the love of all the human race
Touch them with the warmth, the strength of that embrace.
Give me love and understanding, I will thrive
As my children grow, my dreams come alive
Those who hear the cries of children, God will bless
I will always hear the Children of Sánchez."
Yes, take the crumbs from starving soldiers, they will not die. Take
the food from hungry children, they will not cry. But take the dreams
from little children (in all ages) and we all will die.
Have you ever had a dream - please do so now.

KNOWLEDGE & HAPPINESS
Man is created for the woman and woman for the man and both have been created to have happiness.
So, how does one achieve happiness? Is there a path, yes, a way to live
that brings happiness? And if that is so, how, and should not that be a
question to us all, not at least in these times;
How?
It seems as if truth needs to be sought to be found, yes, one need to
seek the answers to one´s questions, about all things, the things one
need in this life to live happy and to feel joy - both man and woman
together and separately.
Knowledge has a way of coming bit by
bit, yes line upon line, to help us grow in wisdom, which often helps us
to understand that we all have so much more to learn than we ever will
be able to obtain in this life. It seems that both knowledge and
happiness must be sought, yes, reached for continuously - which brings
joy to both man and woman individually as well as together.
Because the man is created for the woman and woman for the man and both
have been created to have happiness - so what is needed right now to
have happiness?

S E R E N I T Y
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the
result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an
indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge
of the laws and operations of thought.
A man becomes calm in the
measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such
knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of
thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and
more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and
effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains
poised, steadfast, serene.
The calm man, having learned how to
govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn,
reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn from him
and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his
success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader
will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater
self-control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a
man whose demeanor is equable.
The strong, calm man is always
loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a
sheltering rock in a storm. “Who does not love a tranquil heart, a
sweet- tempered, balanced life? It does not matter whether it rains or
shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for
they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of
character which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture; it is
the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as
wisdom, more to be desired than gold—yea, than even fine gold. How
insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene
life—a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves, beyond
the reach of the tempests, in the Eternal Calm!”
“How many
people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and
beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character,
and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of
people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of
self-control. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who
have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished
character!”
Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is
tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt.
Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified,
makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
Tempest-tossed souls, wherever you may be, under whatsoever conditions
ye may live, know this—in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are
smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep
your hands firmly upon the helm of thought. In the barque of your soul
reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him.
Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power.
Say unto your heart, “Peace be still!”
James Allen
EASTER EVE 11 APRIL - INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE
Guess we all are getting a lesson of this in this special time of
indoor living, alone, or with some of our loved one´s - nevertheless
mostly indoors, yes, inside.
Yet, have we not all met or heard
of people who have lost everything, yes, everything that from the outside can seem to
bring happiness, health or wealth and still being content.
So, how can one live to be content?
Because we can create your life - we already are, really. Are you
satisfied? If not, why, and what can you do to feel fulfilled?
All we need to live the life we want are already here. All we need to do
is to get in harmony with it, day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month
and year-by-year.
Yes, guess we all are getting a lesson of
this in this special time of indoor living, alone, or with some of our
loved one´s - nevertheless mostly indoors - inside.
It does not matter what happens outside - it matter only what happens inside.
HAPPY EASTER to all of you - from the inside and out.
SATURDAY 28 MARCH VISION - DIRECT YOUR LIFE
VISION - DIRECT YOUR LIFE
Vision is going to direct your life - if you let it.
Yes, because imagination is the mental faculty out of which visions
arise and imagination is the most marvellous, miraculous, inconceivably
powerful force the world have ever known.
Visions are pictures that we build in our mind. Many people do not use
their imagination constructively, many people use their imagination
destructively - they imagine what they do not want.
We have to consciously imagine what we do want.
Take a pen and write down, what you really want, yes, what do you
really want? Write it down and make a written description of it in
present tense - paint a picture in words, or, build a picture in your
mind and paint it in words.
Because writing causes thinking and thinking creates an image. Yes, your writing is building a vision in your mind.
Vision - use it constructively, see what you want and do not spend any time thinking of what you do not want.
Vision is going to direct your life - if you let it. When you write
your vision you will create a picture in your head - make it big, make
it beautiful. You will be glad you did.
SATURDAY 14 MARCH
FAITH & ASSURANCE
Now, faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
"How can one belief in something you can not see and how can that lead
to assurance?" one wonders. "Well," the answer seems to come by itself.
"Just as we needed to belief that we one day could walk when we where a
child we need to belief that we can find answers to our questions, yes, a
belief that we can figure things out."
"So, how can one belief or even know that something is true?" "Well, by
sincerely asking with real intent to know," the answer came by itself
again, because answers are available all the time, always. The most
important thing is to take one question at a time, to know which
question one get the answer to.
And there is always something new
to learn, in all stages in life for every girl and boy, woman and man,
yes, every sister and brother.
The question’s can even be mundane and practical such as:
"How can one get and keep a good health? How can one live a good life
and how can one serve successfully within the fields of one´s own
passion and interest?"
The answers come as from nowhere and the
good answers leads us forward in our decisions in life. "Yes, we all
surely make mistakes sometimes. Then it is so incredible liberating for
all of us that we can try again and keep learning all through life."
Now, faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what
we do not see - because we can seek the truth in all things.
SATURDAY 29 FEBRUARY
A FATHER'S ADVICE
Wishes to share a poem written from a father to a son,
to let him grow to a man and carry on.
It brings hope of a safe shore,
which we all can adore.
Ps. Think you have heard of this poet, yes writer, and his words that still helps us to grow. Ds.
IF: A FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS SON
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"
JOSEPH RUDYARD KIPLING (1865-1936)
SATURDAY 22 FEBRUARY
COMMON SENSE vs. COMMON PRACTISE
Common sense is not always common practise and changes sometime feels like mountains to conquer.
Surely, do we not all know we can do better, yet, we do not do it, so
is the case with yours truly, and this is something positive because it
means that we can improve. We can become more and more aware of what we
do and what we do not do.
The trick seems to be continual learning, yes, to want to learn. For it is when we do not want to learn that we stand still.
Common sense is not always common practise and changes sometime feels
like mountains to conquer. By becoming more and more aware of what we do
we can improve continually all through life, regardless of age, so all
mountains can be conquered.
FRIDAY 14 FEBRUARY VALENTINES DAY SAARIAHO & TCHAIKOVSKY
Grateful to be a part of such an evening in Gävle - thank you.
A Taiwanese-American conductor living in Chicago, a mezzo soprano from
London, a violinist from Manchester, an oboist flown in from Berlin, a
clarinet player directly from Stockholm on concert day, and yes, surely
forgotten countries which cities were represented this Valentines days
eve in Gävle.
Thank you Glenn, Anders, Magdalena and Gävle Symphony Orchestra for a lovely week - it warmed the heart dearly - thank you.

SATURDAY 8 FEBRUARY
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM
Emotional weight pulls oneself down by judging others - judge less and feel better.
Have we not all sometime thought: "But, why does he, or she, do that?"
Then we move on and we ourselves feel bad. We judged from what we saw
and because of that we pulled ourself down emotionally, yes, to much
judging can even lead to exhaustion.
Surely, do we not all have a small beam in our eye to look after before we judge somebody else? Yours truly does at least.
It is a mental strength to develop, yes, to strive not to judge. For
the road to wellbeing is to find emotional freedom and to secure
emotional freedom we need to judge less.
Emotional weight pulls
oneself down by judging others. So, if we notice when we are judging
and learn ourselves our next step of integrity, we can grow instead of
pull ourself and others down.
SATURDAY 1 FEBRUARY
DREAMS FULFILLED
What are your dreams? Really, what do you want?
Look around you, everything around you will tell you what you have
wanted up until today, yes, even everything about you.
By knowing
what you want now, today, you can make progress towards what you want
and feel fulfilled. Because when we do not know what we want we feel
unfulfilled.
What you want today
can be something completed different then what you wanted before,
because you have grown, which is an essential part of life.
So,
what are your dreams? What do you want? Look around you, everything
around you will tell you what you have wanted up until today, yes, even
everything about you - focus on your dreams today, by getting clear on
what you want today.
THURSDAY 30 JANUARY

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Is happiness something you do or have?
Sometimes a feeling of happiness occurs, sometimes grief, sometimes
joy. Yes, sometimes you are just having fun and sometimes you feel like a
bum - it all seems to be part of life.
Happiness when a new relative comes into the world as well as grief when another leaves this world.
Is happiness fleeting and unreachable or can one find lasting happiness
in life? For happiness is something we all want to have in our lives
and surely something our ancestors that passed before us, wishes us.
Yes, surely your great grandfather and your great grandmother want you
to have happiness in your life. Verily, all our nearest and dearest in
life too.
If that is true, would not happiness be something to pursue or find in life.
So, where do you find happiness and what is happiness to you? Regardless of where you pursue it - you can be sure to find it.
Pursue it, nurture it, find it and be happy - to the pleasure of your
nearest and dearest, yes, surely even more then them - for life is
happiness and freedom through the pursuit of happiness.

FROM DUVEMÅLA TO MACEDONIA
Thank you Martin, Anders, Lars and Norrköping’s Symphony Orchestra for a lovely week and two special concerts presented in 5 languages. Swedish, English, Somali, Arabic and Tigrinya.

Grateful to be a small part of this - thank you, warmly.

SATURDAY 11 JANUARY
YOUR LIFE´S AGENDA
Live not somebody else’s agenda - take
back your own agenda and build your life and let it blossom day-by-day,
month-by-month, year-by-year and, yes, decade-by-decade.
Sometimes we all end up in someone else’s agenda, just like that. Of
course we need to coordinate our agenda with others, yet, if we do not
have our own agenda we will end up in somebody else’s.
So, what do you want?
What do you want to achieve?
Next year and, yes, this decade?
There are not many people who write it down, what they want out of
their life. The one´s who do though, are the one´s who really can
achieve it, yes, their dreams and goals in life. Because we can achieve
them - everyone.
Live not somebody else’s agenda - take back your
own agenda and build your life and let it blossom. Your life - not
somebody else’s life. If you did not do that last decade, do it this
decade.
WEDNESDAY 1 JANUARY 2020

SATURDAY 21 DECEMBER IMAGINATION - HOPE AND DIRECTION
Imagination is the most
marvellous nation that the world has ever known. Use it well, for your
own benefit and those around you - by imagining what you want.
Because with your imagination you can go into the future and bring it
into the present - by acting like the person you want to become.
When we where kids we did this naturally, imagining was a natural and
enhancing thing we loved to do and we can do so regardless of age. Yes,
we need to do so to enhance our life - imagining our future better than
today to keep growing and learning all through life.
Yes, life
can get better every day and it will be better though the proper use of
your imagination - by using your imagination and focusing on what you
want.
Imagination is the most marvellous nation that the world
has ever known. Use it well, for your own benefit and those around you -
by imagining what you want.
SATURDAY 14 DECEMBER THE WILL - BRINGS US FORWARD
The will to do has a lot of power in
itself. It will take you from point A to point B, yes, anywhere you
want no matter where you start.
The will gives you the ability to
hold one idea on the screen of your mind to the exclusion of all
outside distractions, regardless of how many distractions we have today.
Because it is the will that gives you the ability to concentrate and, yes, concentration is a powerful mental tool.
So, develop your will;
Take a pen and put a little black marker on the opposite wall of your favourite chair and put a little dot on the wall.
Every time you sit in that favourite chair, focus on that dot; bring all of your conscious attention to bear on that dot.
Your mind will wonder and that is okay, just bring your attention back
to the dot. If you make this a short daily practise, you will see your
own progress. You will be able to concentrate longer - this will
strengthen your focus and your will.
You will notice more and
more that it is more about relaxation, controlled relaxation, than any
form of muscle strength - it is mental strength.
When you learn to concentrate on one thing your can concentrate on anything - this is how you develop your will.
The will to do has a lot of power in itself. It will take you from
point A to point B, yes, anywhere you want no matter where you start -
you just have to know where you want to go.
SATURDAY 7 DECEMBER MEMORY - CONSTANT TEACHER
How many times have you said; "I have
got the worst memory." Well, that is not true. You actually have the
best memory - we all do and there is no such thing as a bad memory. We
just have to use it and develop it.
So, here is a practice for your memory;
1 - run
2 - zoo
3 - tree
4 - door
5 - hive
6 - sticks
7 - heaven
8 - gate
9 - wine
10 - den
Repeat this out load three times, or more, until you know it by heart.
Now, what do you want to remember?
Put the thing you want to remember after both the number and the
association - because memory is strengthen by ridiculous association.
1 - run - milk
2 - zoo - butter
3 - tree - egg
4 - door - fruit
5 - hive - bread
6 - sticks - potatoes
7 - heaven - tomatoes
8 - gate - union
9 - wine - wheat flour
10 - den - oatmeal
Read 1 run milk, 2 zoo butter, 3 tree egg and so on all the way until 10 den oatmeal.
Then - shut your eyes and start from the beginning, (1 run) milk, (2 zoo) butter (3 tree) egg etc.
Did you get all 10 of them? - Great.
If not, practice again and again and again and you will see - that you have the best memory.
SATURDAY 30 NOVEMBER INTUITION - MAKES US GROW
We are all intuitive, so, use it and strenghten it.
Intuition is picking up vibration and with every question you have, the
answer comes with it. You can not have a question without an answer and
it is our intuitive mind that carries the answer.
So, how do you develop your intuition?
By focusing all your attention on the other person or your environment,
then you will start to feel things. Because you hear with your ears and
you listen with your emotions. Through listening to one´s emotions,
insted of reacting to them, teaches us to better and better follow and
trusting our intuition.
We have all followed our intuition when
we left a restaurant or some place we did not feel good in for some
reason, our feelings told us so and we trusted it. Yes, or when our
intuition gave us a good feeling in somebody´s home and we had a hard
time leaving.
Pay attention to what is going on around you, what do you feel? Yes, because feeling is the language of the subjective mind.
By using your intuition - you grow with it.
Wish you all a - Glad advent.

SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER REASON - RIGHT REASON
Reason is a mental faculty that can tap
into the immaterial and create thoughts - we can literally create
thoughts. Yes, we need to use our mental gifts; intuition, memory,
perception, imagination, will and reason - we need to think.
When you create a thought and start to put more thoughts together you expand the thought, yes, the idea.
So, if you got an idea, but it is not as good as you would want it -
improve it - that is called thinking and this is what most of us do not
do, occasionally, so even yours truly.
If you pay attention to what people are saying, you will
observe that many people do no think. Because if they where thinking
they would not say what they say. Then, if you pay attention to what
people are doing, you will notice that they are not thinking, because
they would not do what they are doing if they were thinking.
So;
- What am I doing?
And then think;
- Is this going to take me to where I want to go?
- Is this really going to improve the quality of my life?
These are good thoughts, for if what you do is not improving your life
stop doing it - right now. Do not reason away your success - start to
think and develop your thoughts toward a better life.
Yes, reason is a mental faculty that can tap into the immaterial and create thoughts.
Therefore create thoughts of how you can and stop thinking of why you can not - because you can.
SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER PERCEPTION - THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
With the right perspective
we can create our own life and meet all life´s toil with faith. To be
able to do that we need to use our mental gifts; intuition, memory,
reason, imagination, will and perception - we need to think.
We
need to be aware of what we think about, what we say and what we do.
Because when we do what everybody else is doing, we end up where
everybody else ends up. If we want to create our own life, we need to
think, say and do things in another way than others, yes, in our own way.
For it is when we choose to be free that the possibilities open up,
yes, thoughts and ideas open up for us with a future we love. Like the
poem of Chick Corea;
"The eye of the beholder is no older or younger
than the person you always known yourself to be
It is the true you
It is the real me
If you can be
If you can hold
Then you become the beholder
The one who decides what it is you see
With the eye/I that is free"
Because as you see it - so it is unto you and with the right
perspective you can create your own life and meet all life´s toil with
faith.
SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER SENSE
OF HOME - a sense of belonging
You
know the feeling of coming home after a long journey, when you put the bag down
and breathe out. Sure, the journey was nice, yes, even wonderful; nevertheless
there it is as soon as you close the door - the sense of home.
You
know that warm, good, calm sense that only a safely home can bring. We all know
that not every home has that kind of sense, yet; still we know that this sense
can be found - either way.
Think
of it - where do you find it?
Or - when do you find it?
It
is a more important question than you think. Let us say that you do not find
it, how would that be? Do believe that we all have felt that from time to time,
when the schedule has been full and we have driven ourselves too hard. It is
probably more common today than ever before because of all the possibilities
and impressions we all take in during just one day.
Did
you figure out where you find it - the sense of home?
Or - when you find it?
What
would happen if you were able to find the sense of home at least once a day?
Say
that you get that sense when you just have woken up, rested, without an alarm
clock in the weekend. Would it then even appear if you where able to get the
same amount of hours of sleep during the weekdays as you get in the weekends -
to get calm mornings even during the weekdays.
Or
if the sense of home appears when the kids has fallen a sleep - with or without
your spouse. Would it appear for a moment everyday if the kids where put to bed
an hour earlier?
Maybe
it is during the lunch walks as a student, acquisition worker or as a pensioner
this sense appear.
Wherever
you find it, it is real, important, yes, invaluable to build us up and even so
or lives. In this state, the sense of home and comfort, we find good thoughts
and makes good decisions. If we choose to nurture this feeling and daily
moment, we nurture a good life, bit by bit, yes, seed by seed.
You
nurture a healthy and clear perspective as well as a healthy life that like an
olive tree grows stronger and safer, day-by-day, week-by-week, yes, year after
year.
So,
regardless how far you have gotten from yourself or even how homeless you feel,
you can nurture your way back home again.
You
know the feeling of coming home after a long journey, when you put the bag down
and breathe out. Sure, the journey was nice, yes, even wonderful; nevertheless
there it is as soon as you close the door - the sense of home.
SATURDAY 2 NOVEMBER SUNSET - SUNRISE
Sure, life brings both sunsets and sunrises - as the day life brings us some
light and some darkness.
