EN BOKOMSTEDERSitater, dikt og visdomsord

I verden

Dette er første bok i serien som tar for seg steder i verden. I dette tilfellet vil jeg presentere;

Sør-Afrika, Botswana, Namiba, India, Thailand og Kina.

Jeg vil vise dere min reise gjennom bildene jeg tok, og fortelle mine erfaringer gjennom dikt, sitater og ordtak. Dette er en inspirasjonsbok til folket, for de som er nysgjerrige på

verden eller for de som virkelig trenger et eventyr.

IF THE PATH BE BEAUTIFULAnatole Francelet us not ask where it leads

I know a place in AfricaWhere I can feel the sun on my backAnd the sand between my barefoot toesWhere I can hear the gulls on the breezeAnd the waves crash on the endless shore

I know a place in AfricaWhere the mountains touch the skies of blueAnd the valleys shelter vines of greenWhere the trees spread out a cloth of mauveAnd the bushveld wears a coat of beige

I know a place in AfricaWhere I can hear the voice of thunder godsAnd watch their lightening spears thrown to earthWhere I can breathe the scent of rain cloudsAnd taste the sweet dew of dusty drops

This is the place of wildnessOf evolution and dinosaursWhere life began and mankind first stoodOf living fossils and elephantsWhere lions roar and springbok herds leap

This is the place of struggleOf desert plains and thorn treesWhere pathways end and hunters track gameOf horizons and frontiersWhere journeys start and sunsets bleed red

This is the place of freedomOf exploration and pioneersWhere darkness loomed and light saw us throughOf living legends and miraclesWhere daybreak came and hope now shines bright

My heart is at home in AfricaWhere the sound of drums beat in my chestAnd the songs of time ring in my earsWhere the rainbow mist glows in my eyesAnd the smiles of friends make me welcome

My mind is at ease in AfricaWhere the people still live close to the soilAnd the seasons mark my changing moodsWhere the markets hustle with tradingAnd Creation keeps its own slow time

My soul is at peace in AfricaFor her streams bring lifeblood to my veinsAnd her winds bring healing to my dreamsFor when the tale of this land is toldHer destiny and mine are as one

I DREAM OF AN AFRICA WHICH

IS IN PEACE WITH ITSELF

Beauty is not only seen with the eyes, but also feltThe very essence of exquisiteness can almost be smeltSo it is this morning, the sun framed by a golden cloudIts radiance singing a symphony of light out loudWe are blessed with our senses and an open mindTo enable us to feel joy in the beauty that we findLove for beauty is not in the mindit is in the soulAnd only with this appreciation can we ever be wholeThis beauty comes to us without us even needing to askAll we have to do is let it in and in its magnificence bask

"Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment you get what

you seek you dont, cant want it any more. in order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects

perpetually absent, its not the IT that you want, its the fantasy of IT, so desire supports crazy fanta-sies. this is what Pascal means when he says that we’re only truly happy when daydreaming about future

happiness or why we say the hunt is sweeter than the kill or be careful what you wish for not because you get it but because you’re doomed not to want it once you do. So the lesson of Lacan is living by your wants will never

make you happy, what it means to be fully human is to live by ideas and ideas and not to measure your life by what you attained in terms of your desires but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice because in the end the only way we can measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others"

Quote from “The Life of David Gale”

Nelson Mandela
