slow Saturday

Today was wonderful. We took a walk from Harritslev to Bogense. Very snowy and sunny weather - real pre-Christmas weather!!We also dropped by a library and back by horse riding place. It was very cold by the end. I borrowed some good book and also a danish film The Escape, which we saw in the afternoon.

Long weekend

This weekend is long and we already had free yesterday, on Friday!
We got lots of nice snow and Christmas tree in a yard! It looks beautiful.
I have not done anything special these days, just doing absolutely nothing, sleeping, and oh yeah we got some party and chill too. So, sleeping, chatting with friends and surfing Internet.
This week we made a small presentation of Estonian Song festival on Take the Future class. It has been fun, because we also printed out some songs and sung them together with Youtube. And yeah, again much homework to do, need to read read read :-)

English and a music

We had no English lesson today, as seems Anne-Lise became sick. But Ai played some wonderful music for us and we made some small translations for yearbook.
Later on, on wellness class we went for a meditation and walk on a beach. It was cold and windy, but at the same time, it was very fresh and it was nice to smell the sea. Each of us found a stone or a shell to concentrate on during the meditation.
Than we came back to the school and started with a hand massage, and back massage. It was a very pleasant to get relaxed.

Fishing

Sunday was a fishing!We went by car somewhere on country side. There were kind of 2 lakes and plenty of people with fishing equipment. I think there were around 20 persons for 2 small drops of water. We were there for some hours and no fish caught! Although some other fishermen got some fish. Than it started to rain and I went to the car, where i was sitting for an hour. Before that we made a little walking with Stiina, maybe for couple of km. I slept around one hour when we were back home.

- Japanese style

Yesterday we had Japanese style party with sushi and drinks. Sushi was great to make, it was the first time in my life I tried to make them. It went pretty well. I made some rolls and japanese people really liked it.
Party time, well...Time went pretty quickly..I also got some back and shoulder's massage. It was very painful, because I have hard muscles. Need to relax and train more. Also need to rest and make some light training while sitting long with PC, to strech muscles.
Today is Saturday and I slept really a lot after yesterday's party as I felt really sick. So I slept all the time after 12 am til a dinner time 6 pm. Actually, I even didn't want to eat much. Although i ate some good food - cooked potatoes and some vegetables, but without any appetite. I think I became a bit homesick. I like it here in school, but I miss my mum actually.
Tomorrow hopefully I sleep again and do some yoga together with Japanese girls.
Also I really need to do some homework and read documents for Take the future workshops.

Studying

Time is going and today is already Friday. Party time!!!Yeah, this time we will have sushi evening. And sushi are going to be made by japanese students. I will try to make some photos!
I have free time until the lunch, and after lunch we have Danish lesson, where I suppose to do more independent work, because my Danish skills are on more higher level than other students.
In fact, I understand Danish well, if danes are talking slowly. That is because if Norwegian language. And I think, I got really great experience while working on helpdesk and serving some Danish and Swedish customers.
Yesterday we had an interesting Core subject with Mette, where we talked about World in balance and a World in disbalanse. We made a little brain storming and made a picture on how our world could be. And what we could do in disbalanse situation to get it into harmony. It touchs both politics and educational institutions. My resolution was to communicate clear and proper information and motivation through political, press and educational institutions to people. So they have a chance to know current situation and be active about it, to be updated on problems and try to find solutions.
I think activity is a very important if we want to get a better life, a better situation and not to let problems grow within our society.

And I promised myself to tell you a bit about a course which I am going to take in December...
So, it will touch such topics as:
- mind's nature
- meditation and self - why deep meditation is needed
- Buddistic life philosophy - happiness nature and Nirvana
- How to find own methods to practise of mindfullness
strategy of living in every day
- 7 mindfull principles in a Danish case
- Authensity
- yoga - onesness, training and meditation
- cafe meetings with open discussion and life histories
- Bhutan - luck and spirituality - together with growing, culture and nature
- Luck and life joy - luck in Danish and Bhutan cases
- Industry and 'the good life' - about spirituality and pain in a life.

I am already looking forward to this course :-)

The taste of Danish coffee

Today was a bit different. First because I went to sleep tomorrow at 7 pm. I was too sleepy after sauna and biking. So today I wake up at 6 am and figured out there is no yoga today. But after breakfast I went sumba. Although I had so much pain in my shoulder that i decided to change a workshop for painting. I really enjoyed it, and made 2 paintings. Will make a photo of these later on. After the lunch we went to Odense university and attended the lecture about B. Obama which was pretty interesting. Also we got some tour of university which is quiet huge. Further on we had a dinner with lots of vegetables served. Cultural evening was the part of the afternoon. This time it was about people who lose the weight. Very interesting indeed.
Although today I decided to stay here for Christmas and attend a new course in January with the name 'Mindful Living'.

Welness

Day started at 7 am with yoga class, which lasted 40 minutes. We made different exercises and also exercises for streching. After this I had quick shower and went to the common room for a breakfast. I decided to reduce aamount of coffee I drink and drink more tea. Although I drunk 2 cup of coffees, some tea and ate a good a low fat yogurt. All products here are low fat and school concentrates on a healthy eating. We get lots of vegetables and low fat food. Day continiued with English class, - where we worked together in groups with Japanese students, lunch and then, a Welness class, - where we made some facial and hair masks, and then also learnt how to make face and head massage. It was really relaxing, and for sure I want to get more more more!! Time was going fast, dinner is waiting and by the end of the day we suppose to see some antropological film.

Denmark

So, now is my 3d day in Denmark, Harritslev. So far, I like it here. It is pretty tiny village with few houses and school building with a gym and some other houses surrounding, where the students live. We are Danish, Nepali, Estonians, Slovenian and Germans here. Yes, and of course, Japanese people. I share a room with a Japanese girl, she is nice and a very friendly. Time is going both fast and slowly here, depends on what to do. We already had excursion to a place where handicapped people are making handicrafts for selling, and we had a tea with some of them. Then we made a little trip to a local library, which was also nice. In the evening there was some small party in Japanese house, where people got really drunk (not me haha, i don't drink much usually)Today is saturday and it is going slowly, because there is absolutely nothing to do. Except we made a small bike trip to Bogense, which is very close to Harritslev. Also we biked a bit close by the seaside. It was very fresh air there!

the Change

Sometimes to fully change, you need to leave your common life environment for a while.
And come back as a fully new person. If you out of job activities does not let you to change the way you feel, you need to do something bigger. Good thing do not disappear. Chances are many and given. The only - if you take them. Fear is something which can stop transformation. The change should be made, and sometimes a sharp one, to result into your life as you want it.

They can laugh. They can cry.
They can even throw up.
That's how you make them feel.

Invisible landscapes

a word is like a dance,
a drama -
silent stream
it's going up
and down
and vowels in between

a word is like a shot -
a piece of glass which
is broken
it's sticky tricky playful
and sounding like a pain

it's cosy cloud
running
slowly
above your head

a summer rain
a snow -
ice.

a rainbow.
a wind.

tree leafs,
which whisper loud.

it's like a kiss -
so sweet and sudden,

surprising
killing
raising

awak'ning from
a dream.

Life is full of surprises...

...isn't it?

you get again a question...?

All that
it happens for a reason
we get to understand
about
who we are
and
what we do
and
where we go

it happens to remember
a history behind
the reason we are here
on Earth

in each and every mind

it makes us feel awake
to hear a voice
inside
to tell to everyone
at first to tell
yourself
the truly purpose
of
a Life.

Butterfly in Blue

Some days I just went. Some days I was stacked under the rain. Some days it was snowing and it was cold. Some days I just could not find myself. But than, I went. The road was long, and sometimes I got a feeling that I just follow it. Some stones made me feel pain, - and than I cried. I cried, and teardrops were falling down, to the ground with a sound which could make mountains to move and clouds go above my head with a very high speed. Sometimes I got this thought in my head - I never seen such a long road before...and in the same time I thought - a day is too short to go the distance I want.. so I will be able to reach the end, before my time is gone. I went alone, but I didn't feel lonely...I was meeting sunrise. Alone. And I followed the sun. Sunset was always beautiful. Any place I were. And it was different. Any place I were. As clouds as well. I was watching these clouds' formations and never stopped being amazed how beautiful these are. Miracle creations. Still I was alone. I wondered, if there is a someone I can share this sunrise. Sunset. Moon. Air. Ocean. This way. And than, I was running. I was running as if it would be the Hell following me by my steps. I was running under rain and through the forest, I was running too fast... - until I was tired so I fell a sleep at once, right after sunset. And the last thing I saw before I fell into the World of Dreams, was a Moon - Big and Blue....I don't know how long time I slept. I don't know how much time I dreamt. I don't know how much time I went. I don't remember where was the start and where will be the end. But suddenly I opened my eyes, and I felt I was not alone anymore. It was silent. This sparkling silence made me feel pain in my ears by feeling all frequencies around me. It was a fucking loud sparkling silence...
And than I saw a Butterfly. One more Butterfly! I was not alone anymore. I thought I have seen her somewhere and I knew her, but I was so sure I never met her before! But since we went together this way, crossed Time ..went through formations of Clouds, were burned by Sun, and frozen as an Ice when it was Blue Cold... I stopped running. I started just being. I didn't feel time anymore. There was only Space and Butterflies. I heard them all. And silence was sparkling. But not that loud anymore. There was no Time and no Rush. There was only Music - Its invisible structure with its invisible threads, Space, Sun...Moon...and Rain...and Butterflies.

Рождество

Какого оно цвета, это Рождество?

-спросил меня маленький племянник. Хм, этот вопрос поставил меня в явное затруднение. Действительно, а какого же оно цвета, это Рождество?
Ведь ответ, он не может быть только одним. Ответ лежит в сердце каждого из нас...также как и то, что мы можем сказать - это Рождество!-толко тогда когда мы впустим его и эту светлоту в наше сердце. Тогда когда мы открываем свое серце любви, к окружающим и окружающих к нам..любви ко всему что нас окружает,-то что мы видим и то чего не видим...той любви, которую испытывал Иисус когда он был распят. Ведь Рождество, это не только красивий праздник, Роздество это не причина для подарков и пожертвований..все это мы можем сделать в любой день года, толко почему то забываем, находим отговорки, для самих себя..ссылаясь на загруженную повседневность..Рождественская ночь самая драгоценная ночь в году, именно в нее пришел Иисус в наш мир, и уже тогда было предопределено что его кровь будет пролита на голгофском кресте. Мне кажется стоит помнить об этом именно в Рождество, чтоб помнить о том, что Наша жизнь,-она недолговечна, она летит как минута, всего лишь маленькая крупинка в массе века времени...зачем терять это драгоценное время и ждать следущего Рождества чтоб сделать подарок вашим близким и сказать им о том как вы их любите и уважаете. ...
Я нашла ответ на вопрос какого цвета Рождество для меня. Для меня это не только цвет, но и форма, чувство, воспоминания, и наверное ожидания. попутно я еще обнаружила, что не бывает несовершенных елок, все они совершенны, потому что каждая елка из наших воспоминаний, и та что стоит дома, она несет нам намного больше чем просто форма и запах, она дает нам множество эмоций, радости в нашем сердце и глазах наших детей, ожидание чего-то волшебного, искящийся смех близких и радость..поэтому нет несовершенних елок. Есть ненастоящие, но несовершенных нет, как нет и несовершенной любви...С Рождеством! И пусть ваше сердце будет открыто любви, радости и добру!!
