Midsummer greetings 2023
Listen! There is a voice that cannot be heard, yet it is felt in every fibre of your being. Listen, while there is still time. Listen in between the lines, so that you may hear what has so far remained unsaid. The whole world is made up of stories, which slowly make us take shape. We emerge in moments of encounter. Listen, so that the whole world may be contained in a single breath.

Dynamic nature of the herd
Then you see a lot of horses, close together. Each of these individuals are fully aware of who they are in relation to each other. Each member of the herd carries the others on the
inside, the self consists mainly of the sheath around it.

who show you where to look,
