I didn’t know then
what hit me
But, it was
an arrow from God
That got me to start
on the Greatest of Art
The Arrow
Poem
All is well
When I want to see you
I open the door to my heart
Then you are there, just like you once were
All is well
You are so happy to see me
We share heartfelt words
Exchange warm gazes
All is well
Later we are swimming in the water
Our tears fills the Lake of Hearts
We wash ourselves clean
All is well
In the evening you take me to the side
You turn your gaze towards me
Tilt you head lightly and whisper
-All is well
When you’ll once leave Earth
We can always meet there again
In the Garden and Lake of Hearts
All will be well
ALT ER BRA
Når jeg vil besøke deg
Åpner jeg døren til mitt hjerte
Så er du der, som du en gang var
Alt er bra
Du er så glad for å se meg
Vi deler gode ord
Veksler varme blikk
Alt er bra
Senere bader vi i vannet
Våre tårer fyller hjertets innsjø
Vi vasker oss rene
Alt er bra
På kvelden tar du meg til side
Du vender blikket mot meg
Skrår lett ditt hodet og visker
-Alt er bra
Når du en gang jorden forlater
Kan vi alltid møtes der igjen
I hjertets hage og i dets vann
Alt blir bra

Det er no
Det er no eg skal gå eit stykke aleine
Eg skal ikkje seia noko
For det er no eg skal vere stille
Det er no det gjeld
Det er no det skjer
Det eg ikkje heilt kan vite kva er

It is now
It is now I must walk a mile alone
I am not going to be talking
Because it is now I am to be silent
This is it
It happens now
That which I do not really know

To meet myself

In the Silence
What will I find

Doors
I like tall doors
The wide ones too
In particular beautifully decorated ones
They are not there to make you feel small
They stand tall just to remind you
That when you are in awe
Of their grandness and beauty
That is only a mirror
For the divine image in you
If the thought of what is behind evokes fear
The width and height are there to say,
Fear not, I greet you
Now open me, pass through
I embrace all of you and
I may even lead to something new

Westworld / Landet i vest
I go there when I am alone
I go there when I am in need
I go there when I am hurt
I go there when I am tired
I go there when I am falling
There I am in union
There I am filled
There I am comforted
There I am rested
There I am uplifted
This is the Westworld

Oversatt til nynorsk:
Eg går dit når eg er aleine
Eg går dit når eg har eit behov
Eg går dit når eg er såra
Eg går dit når eg er trøyt
Eg går dit når eg faller
Der er eg i eining
Der er eg fylt
Der er eg trøysta
Der er eg utkvilt
Der er eg opplyfta
Dette er Landet i vest

Aleine / Alone
Eg sat berre der
Omsider fatta eg mot
Eg spurde
-Korleis går det
Du svara kort
Snudde deg bort att
So sat eg berre der
In English:
I only sat there
Finally I took courage
I asked
-How are you
You answered shortly
Turned away again
Then I just sat there

Are You the Priest?
You were sitting at the corner
Asking for some coins for daily bread
I bowed my head and forced a smile
Then I just walked by
Later I asked myself
What did you do and what’s wrong with you
What was more pressing
More important to do
Are you the priest singing songs
Yet no cross and no heart
To love your neigbour
As you love God

Meir / More
Det kan smerte når nokon seier
Ro deg ned
No blir det for mykje
Ikkje berre du som tel
Gje deg no
Ein sleppe taket
Kva gjorde eg no
Og kva gjer eg
Skal eg halde det inne
Kva meiner du
Da er tida likevel god
Det blir eit pusterom
Ikkje eit tomrom
Nei for det ein pustar i
Er fylt med noko meir
Nokon gong blir det for mykje
Hjartet kan berre opne seg so mykje
Og andre vil også ha rom
Og nett når rommet fyllest av kvarandre
Da blir det ikkje eit einerom
Ei heller eit tomrom
Det blir berre fylt
Med meir
ChatGPT translation mostly:
It hurts when someone says
Calm down
Now it’s too much
It’s not just you that matters
Give it up now
One lets go
What did I do now
And what am I doing
Should I hold it inside
What do you mean
Then time is a good thing
It becomes a breather
Not an empty space
No, for what one breathes in
Is filled with something more
Sometimes it becomes too much
The heart can only open so much
Others also want space
And just when the room is filled with each other
Then it does not become a solitary room
Nor an empty space
It just becomes filled
With more

Come Away
Come away now
Take a step back
You have been out too long
Take a breather
Breathe deep and slowly
It is so easily forgotten
You shine so brightly always
To transform darkness to light
You need to see yourself, yet also remember
Who you are
With me
Within and without
Be now
My child
Eat and rest
A Contemplative Life
