I byn finner jag lugnet, särskilt nära vattnet och i den tysta skogen som börjar tala då man lyssnar.
Sedan jag var liten har jag funnit tröst i närheten till träden och vattnet då livet blivit lite för mycket.
Den där omedelbara närheten till skogen har jag saknat under året vi bott i ersättningslägenheten i stan.
Fast jag ska inte sticka under stol med att det har varit bekvämt att ha den lilla mataffären tvärs över gatan.
Vi har kommit hem från vår vinterresa till Newfoundland Nissen och jag. Fyllda av nya intryck som kanske tar sig uttryck i hur vi fortsätter vårt liv här hemma. Vi tycker båda att vi har ett andra hem därborta, inte i något av husen vi bott i, utan mer med själva klippan under fötterna och den där salta vinden i ansiktet och med människorna som ofta är båda vänliga och varma (och roliga också!)
Nu är vårt nya hem i byn nästan färdigbyggt, och där ska vi bo med vetskapen om att sitt riktiga hem är det man bär med sig i hjärtat.
"So now it's time to start the move back from the city to the village again . Home . For the village is home, even though I have proven myself to be more adaptable than I thought.
In the village , I find serenity , especially near the water and in the quiet forest that begins to speak when one listens.
Since I was little I've found solace in the proximity of the trees and the water when life sometimes has become a little too much.
I´ve missed that closeness to the forest during the year we lived in the compensation apartment in town.
Though I will not deny that it has been convenient to have the little grocery store just across the street.
We have returned from our winter trip to Newfoundland Nissen and me. Filled with new impressions that perhaps is manifested in how we continue our lives here at home. We both feel that we have a second home over there, not in any of the houses we lived in , but more with the actual rock underneath our feet and that salty wind in your face and with the people who often has a warm and friendly disposition (and funny too!)
Now our new home in the village is almost finished , and there we shall live with the knowledge that wherever you are, your real home is the one you carry within your heart"
One moment i find myself here, on a beautiful March morning overlooking Bay Bulls harbour, Newfoundland Canada, |
Colorful boats, (love the turquoise one) deep blue sea and light blue sky. |
And then suddenly i´m here, by the cabin in the woods. A late afternoon in the fading spring light of northern Sweden. |

This is the place. Nice is´t it? Has a green door and everything, as it should. |
Ha det gott allihop!
All the best!/T
