I stare into the deep blue water. I can feel the eyes on the back of my neck, daring me to jump, daring me to push myself farther than they would choose to go. I can feel a small audience form behind me, hesitant to step into the moment but more afraid to miss it, and I laugh. In my periphery I take note of the rocks and turtles forty feet below as they become frothed and opaque in the crashing surf. To jump successfully, I will need to clear eight feet of coral. This would be no problem if it weren't for the turtles. Rocks don’t move, and rocks don’t follow the surf.
There is no way to describe the feeling of watching another orange sunset sink into the waves, falling behind the deep green hills and becoming a dim backlight to the world. There are simply no words that can allow you to paint the picture with your mind unless you were there, watching, as it fell away. Unless, hand in hand, sitting on the grass, we were there - I can never convince you fully of my truth. Nobody believes a story that changes a man’s life, because men never seem to change. It is as impossible to slip into another person’s frame of mind as it is to relive your past.
This is a journey that i am currently on. Its a journey of love, a journey of the heart.
To begin, i spent so much time fighting and trying to show this man that i loved him so.
I tried to show him how much i cared. How much i needed him in my life, but i always felt like I was falling short. I tried and tried and tried.
My mind had become completely preoccupied with trying to show this man just exatly what he meant to me and then I became completely exhausted.
The best journey that I have ever been a part of is the journey of my life, but the destination unknown.
"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”
Although I have not been able to travel as much as I would like, due to the expenses, I choose to make every day of my life a new exciting journey with no regrets. Sure there may be some things I have done that i'm not very proud of, but those things have played a part in creating the person that I am today.
Jeg har vært i USA, men aldri Washington DC. Nå har jeg imidlertid fått veldig lyst til å reise dit. – Og årsaken? – En 590 siders roman som ifølge forlaget er solgt i 180 000 eksemplarer bare i Norge, og i millionopplag verden rundt. En roman av tvilsom litterær verdi, men med en publikumsappell som er få forfattere forunt. Jeg tenker naturligvis på Dan Brown’s siste bok: ”Det tapte symbol”, Bazar Forlag 2009 - En mursteinsthriller som river leseren med fra den ene sekvensen til den andre. Hele handlingen utspilles i Barack Obamas' Washington DC og handler om tankens kraft, mysterier, vitenskapelig neotikk og de spekulative muligheter som åpner seg når selv tanker kan måles i rom og tid og masse som kan kvantifiseres og styres som gravitasjonsfelt. Viktig kunnskap som kan gjenkjennes i nygamle begreper som forbønn, kanalisering og healing. I Dan Browns fantasiverden er slike erkjennelser bygd inn i selve arkitekturen og kunsten i Washington DC, hvor nøkkelen til symbolenes kraftfulle språk forvaltes og ivaretas av Frimurerideologen og det metareligiøse frimurerfellesskapet world wide.
While i was studying in the USA, some of my friends and i got the chance to drive to Niagra falls. We were visiting one of my friends that live close to Buffalo, which is a a huge city a few hours from Niagra falls on the American side. Niagra falls is one of the biggest water falls in the world and its a spectacular natural heritage that is worth seeing! The falls is actualy located on the boarder of USA and Canada so you can actualy go and se it from both sides. Unfortunately we did not bring our passports for this trip so we had to stay on the American side.
