From ghosts to spirits, from spirits to living humans - all of them part of the Universe in which they move and experience life in all its intricacies. To me it's obvious that we are here to harvest wisdom, but some are better students than others ...

About the author (2011)

I write poetry because I'm a thinking and feeling person who is inspired by thoughts and feelings about the world I live in. That's the reason that what inspires me the most is what speaks the most to my feelings. To me the world is not in either black or white, but in zebra colors, so to speak. Goodness and evilness live side by side, sometimes even within the same person and it's no use denying such a fact if one dreams of forming a better world. Unfortunately we humans are not always as wise as could be wished for. As many others I would love to find the key that opens the door to our mutual dream Paradise, but just like everybody else I haven't succeeded and most likely never shall. I live in an area of the world with a history that goes far back in time. One of my own forefathers was a well-known viking, i.e. one of those people who may have been a tender son, husband and father at home and who changed into a fierce and relentless warrior when out looting one of his neighbors. Both sides, evilness and goodness, in the same man. In a way one might call him something like "a pirate pillar of society" and someone like that represents the ambiguity I see in us as human beings and in our world up to now.
