First walking day.
I start today with Basho, the haiku master
who accompanied me on other walks
and is a good companion always.
It is from the book "The narrow road to the deep north and other travel sketches". To my surprise, the artist who shares the oldest house in the village with me brought the exact same book.
it was with awe
that i beheld
fresh leaves, green leaves,
bright in the sun

(yes, it is) 23 of May – 26 of June I’ll be one of three residents in the project Walking Peace in the Avian Kingdom in Sweden, organised by ARNA at the very spot where two pilgrim trails meet in Harlösa. Walking Peace is a green, slow and peaceful way of making new connections across cultural backgrounds and religions, creating art as a statement for peace while walking. Afterwards I'll be researching the pioneer life in Värmland.
