All the hard work is done and everyday life is back. My body is sore and I feel emotionally vulnerable. My hamstring is not well. I’m going to my acupuncture man, that makes magic with his needles Wednesday. And I need him. I pushed too much in my practice in the last couple of weeks. But now it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m ready to slow down my practice for the summer. I’m getting ready to finally tune into my breath and listen to my body. Ashtanga yoga, and some teachers are really into pushing it (and my ego goes along with that really easily). But I don’t believe that’s what’s yoga should be about. Are you a better yogi for doing this or that asana? I do not believe so. For me yoga is the journey to awaken your inner voice and spirituality. It’s a journey to opening your mind to other people around you and to see them with compassion and love. <br /> I’m setting aside time to read and write these days. I’m spending time watching my beautiful daughter growing up playing in the sun. Summer is a wonderful time of year. I hope you’re all enjoying wherever you are.<br /> <a href="http://www.madonna-online.ch/m-online/galleries/2003/03-04-00_w-magazine/03-04-00_w-magazine.htm">Pictures is of Madonna, taken by Steven Klein for W magazine.</a>sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-20918045706818844442009-06-02T13:41:00.000-07:002009-06-02T13:55:26.596-07:00angus and julia stone<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwhZwC-GXcnArtBbDn7GHic7alFxkdTQSNTxPcj8KxxWtCWpljGYhWSUtaSvT3RolN6JvyUYgvb13bGy9ap0y5Co3U73S0BISxdYkCviSmHNhzMFG2Z9P60TN2MrKSm8kKVAa53GRvTH62/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwhZwC-GXcnArtBbDn7GHic7alFxkdTQSNTxPcj8KxxWtCWpljGYhWSUtaSvT3RolN6JvyUYgvb13bGy9ap0y5Co3U73S0BISxdYkCviSmHNhzMFG2Z9P60TN2MrKSm8kKVAa53GRvTH62/s400/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342836016385630274" /></a><br /><br /><br />I love their beautiful music.

Luckily I passed all my exams so I’m pleased. Patthabi Jois, the Guru of Ashtanga yoga sadly died the first day of the training. We were informed like an hour after he passed due to our teachers close relationship to his Guru. We had a gathering in his memory the same afternoon. It felt really strong and sad. I never been to India nor had any kind of relation to him as a person, but I’ve dedicated a lot of my life to this sacred practice. At one point we weren’t sure if we would be able to complete the entire course before our teachers had to go back to India for a memorial on the twelfth day after his passing but luckily it all came through in the end.<br /> I’m glad I’ve dedicated myself to this practice, and this teachers training, but it has been really hard on my family and me. I’m so happy today. It’s been lovely summer weather here in Norway for the past couple of days and I’ve spent the entire weekend with husband and daughter out on the boat and on the islands right by our house. It’s been absolutely lovely.sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-19431236349582186182009-05-17T19:45:00.001-07:002009-05-17T19:49:28.445-07:00coco and igor<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivc2lp-9yPoY_RJaH1rNwpjUKbJ93P2Q15YcHuLS3acrTwzAMEQYW1yMoupOTVBG8uTJGleG4zljZi1pQizlVhFv3yyhUGyjuJh1HqpW46tK9ZPg22dKhBAlUy4jw_gdfpv2JA7vat-Kv/s1600-h/Coco5.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivc2lp-9yPoY_RJaH1rNwpjUKbJ93P2Q15YcHuLS3acrTwzAMEQYW1yMoupOTVBG8uTJGleG4zljZi1pQizlVhFv3yyhUGyjuJh1HqpW46tK9ZPg22dKhBAlUy4jw_gdfpv2JA7vat-Kv/s400/Coco5.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336989814875484946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpyP4yiWs_QannIzHXVUwvY-UteG-gjgd5FUzVB_SQj13NAe5sMCVDz39Ssnx-xjIsIcDQ-_Y9PdTI8S_p92b8dm1hXKiOg9WjxzPiXwttkHELLrDabIfeK6K41M4YZdxQzQ_dPkkgh7y/s1600-h/Coco1.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpyP4yiWs_QannIzHXVUwvY-UteG-gjgd5FUzVB_SQj13NAe5sMCVDz39Ssnx-xjIsIcDQ-_Y9PdTI8S_p92b8dm1hXKiOg9WjxzPiXwttkHELLrDabIfeK6K41M4YZdxQzQ_dPkkgh7y/s400/Coco1.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336989752108752850" /></a><br /><br />Longing for the release of this movie. I read the biography of Coco Chanel a little while ago. Adding the wonderful actors Mads Mikkelsen and Anna Mouglalis and I think it will be perfect.<br /><br /><br />On another note, this has been a crazy weekend. Norway won the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow this weekend, see our hero <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGltTWdxIXw&feature=response_watch">here</a>. 17 of May are also Norway’s national holiday. We start of with marching bands and all the kids walk in parades with Norwegians flags early in the morning. It’s really nice. In the day it’s entertainment, refreshments and games for the children in different parks and schools (a lot of which was my responsibility this year. One of the reasons I’ve been absent lately).<br /><br /><br />At the moment it’s 4.40 in the morning here and I’m getting ready to leave for my teachers training. I check in when possible in the two coming weeks. Wish me luck.sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-19122275419765229962009-05-14T13:03:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:09:47.107-07:00Helena's appartment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6xHPmwX-blhRFsQ-LAWaDK3hwYRCr4NYhOzihwuKYxcElCvmNaUTtIM2EyEnqFAmPxMqvFzntjUBQ01wFO9Xe9vbV4YhzoLBrJ3GN5_XbdO0CTBpCdUXmcS3qd-vaTQ0ddQ65wVc5iaan/s1600-h/FrenchVogueHelena78.jpg.jpeg"><img style="display:block;

And I've missed you all so much. My practice is getting a little better every day now, but it's been a rough ride. I've been coughing so bad I sprained a rib (and it's been hurting like hell, pardon my language). And this happens just two weeks before I'm starting up on the last part of my teachers training. Just my luck feels like.<br /><br />Apart from that I'm really frustrated with blogger at the moment. Seems like I've been having all kind of bugs lately. It feels like I've been having some kind of trouble every time I've been posting since long before Easter. Like, all of a sudden everything I've just written is in Chinese. Anybody else been having this kind of trouble? Anyway, I'm now considering moving my blog over in another format. I'm working on it so I'll get back you on that shortly.sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-66082974443370036462009-04-29T13:44:00.000-07:002009-04-29T14:06:55.056-07:00sorry, I've been a bad blogger this last week<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDW-aTVZwyd1llqooCz7V2-CufHga_8Kx-CH8ehI0laKguH8T7KYHVa1q92ikl6hDNvOnJnagY1PR2kP9jfFTgO2d6Vz4hiExlZ3tiJdX1ybnJafRv4c4otp_hn_L8gl695rPfa8dlwjiN/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 329px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDW-aTVZwyd1llqooCz7V2-CufHga_8Kx-CH8ehI0laKguH8T7KYHVa1q92ikl6hDNvOnJnagY1PR2kP9jfFTgO2d6Vz4hiExlZ3tiJdX1ybnJafRv4c4otp_hn_L8gl695rPfa8dlwjiN/s400/2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330220169828253874" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">I've caught a terrible cold on my trip to the states.

both cities are living on borrowed time. Here we are fighting the mud, the heat, the rain, and the insects, trying-if you squint your eyes a bit-to create a Paris in the swamps. Our architecture, and the way we live, are here because of a particular attitude, an attitude about time that is different from the rest of the United States. New Orleans won't change-this is the source of the decline-and yet it does change: but somehow, layer after layer, it stays the same. New Orleans doesn't want to be practical, or to follow the trends in the rest of the country, yet it still works as a place to live; I don't know how. And it sure is fun living here!"<div><br /></div><div>-Joel Lockhart Dyer- artist and New Orleanian-</div></div></div>sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-34240462694843915092009-04-16T11:50:00.000-07:002009-04-16T12:01:40.833-07:00art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiucHZXYBDrAkaNRLvmS6IX2_RSH39VSRKTTn1tXZ63VgMFGld5m-iXreuRJWX6-tS4qn82tbMaK5FeDo6KYRpJeQml8OUdLNPY6vVV8QLKtKXS8RgdqRde1SqeW70J773vAN7uQQ6uJrVB/s1600-h/art-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiucHZXYBDrAkaNRLvmS6IX2_RSH39VSRKTTn1tXZ63VgMFGld5m-iXreuRJWX6-tS4qn82tbMaK5FeDo6KYRpJeQml8OUdLNPY6vVV8QLKtKXS8RgdqRde1SqeW70J773vAN7uQQ6uJrVB/s400/art-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325365567501084866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdsNbyXoedhfWv371Exh-ZELyM4AdIyqHnC2tTkNsAYHL17dz3nPlsRudWuM2HTMFHyTRH7TQ9b6eR4apJN6DTCPy2fDG-steDHM65OYASSE8c2WhgjqIUznu1R0pNC_4DUwbqTYMEfmdY/s1600-h/art-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdsNbyXoedhfWv371Exh-ZELyM4AdIyqHnC2tTkNsAYHL17dz3nPlsRudWuM2HTMFHyTRH7TQ9b6eR4apJN6DTCPy2fDG-steDHM65OYASSE8c2WhgjqIUznu1R0pNC_4DUwbqTYMEfmdY/s400/art-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325365307841386674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8EIwiLwMVNm407tIegq5HgByDqopde5L-jBB3dbw4YG72hPxO941L8e5rq2keo4WKHmZEgoLOQdzqbs3mzsM1r27gb4VhsJ9GKnKvso5-TDD4fttaIQeOeUOwdnSeeT5nLo55lS2Zjaj/s1600-h/art-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8EIwiLwMVNm407tIegq5HgByDqopde5L-jBB3dbw4YG72hPxO941L8e5rq2keo4WKHmZEgoLOQdzqbs3mzsM1r27gb4VhsJ9GKnKvso5-TDD4fttaIQeOeUOwdnSeeT5nLo55lS2Zjaj/s400/art-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325365106910232834" /></a><br /><div>(Pictures from the New Orleans Museum of Art Sculpture Garden).</div><div><br /></div>The nature of a work of art<div>is not to be a part, nor yet</div><div>a copy of the real world</div><div>(as we commonly understand</div><div>that phrase),</div><div>but a world in itself,</div><div>independent, complete, autonomous;</div><div>and to possess it fully</div><div>you must enter that world,</div><div>confirm to its laws,</div><div>and ignore for the time the beliefs,</div><div>aims, and particular conditions</div><div>which belong to you</div><div>in the other world of reality.</div><div><br /></div><div>(Oxford lectures on poetry: Professor Bradley: 1901)</div><div><br /></div>sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-56396742843760234542009-04-15T08:07:00.000-07:002009-04-15T08:38:53.975-07:00I'm back<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJq7pa_kBGycoQdxl-DkCocvlMW07FjQkMdTDqHyfHAwlXFvvWMXKifnnXOSfWG7cZK3b2ALCbrRRmfIPJArIqTc8v9wuVBrTw3LgW9E1n1LwAQr_G0LlzDs3UO13miLbTl6aFafqgBUV/s1600-h/bananatree.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJq7pa_kBGycoQdxl-DkCocvlMW07FjQkMdTDqHyfHAwlXFvvWMXKifnnXOSfWG7cZK3b2ALCbrRRmfIPJArIqTc8v9wuVBrTw3LgW9E1n1LwAQr_G0LlzDs3UO13miLbTl6aFafqgBUV/s400/bananatree.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324935662036411202" /></a><div><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Georgia;mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The river starts like a spring and the story just came out. The river starts like a spring and he's like a newborn baby, tumbling and spitting, and one day, attracted by a puddle, he starts to run. He scurries and scampers and wants to get to the marsh, and, after being followed by a big bubble, he does, and at the end of the run he goes into the meander. Then he skips and dances and runs until he's exhausted, and he lies down by the lake- all horizontal lines, ripples, reflections, God made and untouched. Then he goes over the falls and down into the whirlpool, the vortex of violence, and out of the whirlpool into the main track of the river. He widens, becomes broader, loses his adolescence, and down at the delta, passes between to cities. Like all cities on the opposite sides of the deltas, you find certain things in one and not in the other, and vice versa, so we call the cities Neo-Hip-Hop-Cool Kiddies’ Community and the Village of the Virgins. The river passes between them and romps into the mother- Her majesty the Sea-and, of course, is no longer a river. But this is the climax, the heavenly anticipation of rebirth, for the sea will be drawn up into the sky for rain and down into wells and into springs and become the river again. So we call the river an optimist. We'll be able to play the ballet in any church or temple, because the optimist is a believer.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">-Duke Ellington-</p><p class="MsoNormal">I'm back from my trip.

My parents live close to Oslo airport, which is good. My plane takes of at 6.30 in the morning so I have to be there super early. I’m really excited about going. It’s been snowing again so the warm weather in Louisiana is going to be a treat for me. I’m bringing stacks of books, my yoga mat and my camera. I crave some peace and solitude. I’m gone buy myself a pretty journal and just write and try to centre my thoughts. I need to figure out what my next step is going to be. This winter has been way to busy, so I definitely need to pace down. I want make time for more fun and laughter in the coming moths. Hopefully it’s going to be a beautiful summer for us all.<br /><br />This picture of me is taken at the studio last summer.<br /><br />I don’t know when I’ll be able to post, but hopefully I’ll see you all soon.<br /><br /></p>sølvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11281475885257737898noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067027455463257335.post-6671631514102370172009-03-28T13:58:00.000-07:002009-03-28T14:01:02.203-07:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL0rCycmCWhBKfkqNXFNuFR3V9GlE_lbdEx0EnlwQzYEoTgK34mvIKTmDiCkrg5rZDxT1Q2Q8PxaIjBbdDhxzLR1Buc-IjtXQX139hQhC9rXcKmuGvSwPVV4uo3fcHwbwmT7XEkUa3knXv/s1600-h/tegning.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL0rCycmCWhBKfkqNXFNuFR3V9GlE_lbdEx0EnlwQzYEoTgK34mvIKTmDiCkrg5rZDxT1Q2Q8PxaIjBbdDhxzLR1Buc-IjtXQX139hQhC9rXcKmuGvSwPVV4uo3fcHwbwmT7XEkUa3knXv/s400/tegning.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318346020860986338" /></a><br /></p><p>My daughter made this drawing for my blog.
