One Earth, One God, One Life: Det bästa sättet att börja en ny vecka

Det bästa sättet att börja en ny vecka

Ja, i alla fall som jag ser det. Ett löppass på måndagsmorgonen är en grym tradition som jag tycker du ska testa. Jag kom ihåg när vi bodde i Malmö och jag alltid försökte komma ut på måndagsmorgonen och springa på Ribban (stranden) för att andas lite frisk havsluft, börja veckan med lite schyssta vyer och låta kroppen springa av sig eventuell trötthet och få lite inspiration inför den nya veckan. Oslagbart. Fokus ligger på att titta, lukta och lyssna på omgivningen, inte på något visst tempo.

Brunnsparken / skogen bakom brunnsparken i morse. Fåglarna kvittrar. Första riktiga höstdagen. Höstsol. Vindstilla. Passerar en spegelblank sjö. Testar en helt ny led i snårig terräng. Springer fel ett antal gånger, skönt, för det betyder att jag får vara ute längre innan jag måste till jobbet. Redo att möta veckans strapatser. Redo för vad som helst. Snabb dusch och sen in i dimman på jobbet. Ser fram emot nästa måndagsmorgon.

For my english speaking friends (och för svenskar som vill skratta lite) I tried Google Translator for the first time…

The best way to start a new week

Yes, at least as I see it. A löppass on måndagsmorgonen is a cruel tradition that I think you should try. I remember when we lived in Malmo, and I always tried to come out on måndagsmorgonen and slot in the bar (the beach) to breathe a little fresh sea air, start week with some nice scenery and allow the body to run off any fatigue and get some inspiration for the new week. Oslagbart. Focus is to look, smell and listen to their surroundings, in no particular tempo.

Kaivopuisto / woods behind brunnsparken this morning. The birds chirps. The first real höstdagen. Höstsol. SSE. Pass a spegelblank lake. Testing a whole new part of the red terrain. Springer wrong a number of times, good, for it means that I may be out longer before I have to work. Ready to face the week strapatser. Ready for anything. Quick shower and then into the mist at work. Looking forward to next måndagsmorgon.

Footsteps

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one beloning to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied "My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffereing, when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you."

The echo of life

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, “Ahhhhh.”Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, “Ahhhhh.”Filled with curiosity, he screams, “Who are you?” but the only answer he receives is: “Who are you?”This makes him angry, so he screams, “You are a coward!” and the voice answers, “You are a coward!”

He looks at his father asking, “Dad, what is going on?”“Son,” he replies, “pay attention!” Then he screams, “I admire you!”The voice answers, “I admire you!”The father shouts, “You are wonderful!” and the voice answers, “You are wonderful!”The boy is surprised, but still can’t understand what is going on.

Then the father explains, “People call this ‘ECHO’ but truly it is ‘LIFE!’ Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirrorof your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect. If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect! This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives.”
