Wanderlust

Wanderlust. I don't really need to say more. But I want to. That is what I feel when I see this photo. My beautiful friend Lina took it when she came to visit about two months ago. I love how it captures the wildness of the forest. There's no road and only deeper woods ahead of us. I can feel the power in my walk and the urge too see what comes next. I can feel the fresh clean air deep in my lungs. The sun shining on my face and the smell of trees and spruce leef flowing through my nose. I am enjoying the moment to the fullest and at the same time I am excited to see what comes next. Nature make me feel at peace. I feel at home. And at the same time adventurous. Wanting to explore. To see the view from the highest tree. To walk around the big stones and feel the warmth on the one side, and chill on the other. To run through high grass so fast I think my legs will fall off. To dive into the lake and feel the cold water wash of my sweat, flow through my body and clean my mind and soul. To lie naked and stare out into the blue eternity while the sun dries my skin. To feel one with the solid ground underneeth me and the wind dancing over my arms. Totlally in harmony with myself and my surroundings. To never want to leave and at the same time be curious to open my eyes, take another step and see what's behind the next tree, or stone, or sea. 

Bluebell, wake me up and let me see.

Hanging upside down. Don't know what I want. Bored out of my mind. Waiting around. Restless. Walked out. Took some photos. Empty eyes. Unedited. Just as they are. Boring. But still a bit beautiful. Cheer me up. Give me some inspiration. Come and visit. Invite me over.

Heading Downtown

Today was my first day alone in NZ. The hostfamily have gone to Fiji for almost a week and so the exploring of Auckland begins. I woke up quite early and said goodbye and could not go back to sleep after that. So I stayed up and read 'Ninas Resa' by Lena Einhorn. Really good and interesting, but of course terrible.

I had some stuff on my to-do list today so I took the bus down to Auckland City and started my small adventure. I walked wrong a lot but bumped into the library on one of tose "extra trips". I sill have qutie a few books that I brought from Sweden to read so borrowed two movies instead. 'Pirates' and 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas'. I also bought a pig bank to try to save up some money during my time here. Good luck...

A project that I have been thinking of is to create a big photoalbum with pictures from vacations and journies, or just really fun moments I want to remember. I want one where you can put the pages in yourself, so that I can start with the pictures I am taking here but later be able to compiment with earlier trips. No store that I looked in had one of those so that will just have to wait. Anyone who knows where I can buy one?

In the meantime I still have a knitting I started on last autumn that needs to be finnished, and a friend just yesterday told me about this knitting-thing her host mom is organizing. She is to cover a handrail in a long knitted thing and every day people from all over the world is sending in their contribution to her. I want to as well! How about you making one too?;)

I also activated my gym membership at the university yesterday so with two knitting projects, a month membership at the gym, plenty of books from Sweden, a library card, new friends, a tree-year-old to take care of, working extra at a defence lawyer's office, keeping contact with family and friends and try to post some here not too rarely it might even be a good thing that I do not have that photoalbum to make as well;)

Now I am off to buy some dinner and then it will just be me, the crazy cat, the food, unhealthy chocolatey things and a movie:) After walking around as much, and walking wrong as much, as I have today I think I deserve it;) Have a great weekend everyone! Bye bye..
