Fire by the cabin

A simpler life

I decided to take the text from an Instagram post and publish it here as well. Right now I’m spending time clearing up parts of the land and observing where I want to put different elements in my Permaculture design for the farm. Snow turns out to be an efficient tool for Permaculture design [...]

A place to call home

After a long search I finally found myself a place in the Swedish countryside. In this post I’ll tell you a bit about the process of finding it and why I choose to live a simpler kind of lifestyle. If you have been following this blog for some time or read my newsletter (sign up below if [...]

The cabin in the woods

The small cabin by the lake

In December I went up to Sweden to spend some time in a remote cabin. I had felt this longing for a place off from most of the modern noise and chatter, a place to listen inwards and really pay attention to what’s going on – both within myself and in the world around me. I got the [...]

December Reflections 2016 - 02 - Light

December Moments

I have decided to loosely follow the December Reflections 2016 Instagram challenge by Susannah Conway. I will not do every day of the challenge, but when I feel that the theme of the day speaks to me I’ll take a photo or use an existing one. I will be posting them here in this blog post as [...]

Searching my roots for silence

Dig deeper. Ask yourself what hides beneath the surface. Do not fear. Do not stop. Face it straight on and hear it roar in your face. Once it stops. If you still stand. The fire will grow stronger.

As darkness falls the trees show their inner essence. They breathe slowly as you rush by and forget to greet them. They sigh, knowing that some of us will never listen to what they have to say. We speak through fire but fail to see the fuel being obliterated with each bursting flame. Each flame a [...]

Creativity vs Productivity - a politosophical rant

Creativity vs Productivity

The last days I have been thinking a lot about the topics of creativity and productivity and how they intertwine. I’m quite a pragmatic person myself, almost always feeling the need to do something “useful” or “productive” – regardless if related to my work or to my creative [...]

Old rusty bucket left in Black Forest - hyperbrain.me

Of Textures & Flows

Withering away. Absorbed in textures & flows. Radiating where everything else is dying. A blurry vision. Carried away by violent waters. A still mirror image. Where you cannot hide beneath the surface. Thirsty you stretch out your arms. In a crowd, desperate, unhearing. Hiding, watching, where [...]

Crossroads in the deep Swedish woods

Internal Crossroads

When the inner voice starts dreaming of lost dark forests. Visions of old times. Stillness. Silence. In a world where you can no longer hear your own heartbeat. It is hard to see clearly. It is difficult to see through the fog, to view the true nature of things. The whispering winds, are they [...]

Walpurgis powers

Allowing the fire to cleanse and strengthen. Removal of stagnation, of those holding you back. Saying farewell to the foggy mind. Viewing the surroundings with new clarity. The sun speaks. Asks the questions needed to take the next step. To break out of this [...]
