Lofoten...

So this weekend I went up north to play a coulpe of concerts with some friends (about 9 in the number) and I left early thursday morning. After eating dinner, we started practicing and it went on until the next day at 4 o'clock, even though we slept a bit in between.
Friday night at 6 an 9, we played the two concerts that were the most varied concerts I've been on...
The best part of the weekend was however the social part. It turned out to be the most wonderful weekend I've had in a loong time, laughing more than ever, having good conversations, loads of fun, great music, great people, all in all a fantastic weekend.
Now though, I'm left with the disappointing feeling of yet another spiritual peak passed. Because what we had up there wont last, even though I would want it to. I am however hopeful in the possibility of living like we did the past few days, some time in the future. Different people perhaps, and another place, but with the same focus, the same love for eachother and the same eagerness to share it with others!
So cliche as it might be, I have a dream...

What is life?

Do you know?
I guess I could come with a few suggestions anyways:)
Here is the first part of the definition give by Wikipedia:

Life (cf. biota) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes from those that do not^[1][2] —either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as "inanimate."^[3]

But thats not all is it? Is life only the biological processes working within us?
Well...if you think of it - yes! Because every thought, every thing you do is a result of some
biological process happening inside you in advance.
But let's look past that small detail. To know what life is, we first have to know what it consists of, agreed? So what does life consist of? Love? Well, I believe there has to be some love present in ones life for people to live. If love seems to be gone, what then is life worth living for?
Good and bad experiences? So you could say, cause isn't that really all there is? Either an experience is good or its bad, isn't it? If not, then comment;)
Other people? Yes, if not for other people than youself it would not be life. You would not excist! And other people is also necessary for you to experience love. That is if you rule out God, but can you? God is life, so utters the Bible. So God is according to the Bible a necessity for life to excist.
So if you then acknowledge The Bible as true, God shuld be a part of life.
Football is life! Is it? Quite a few people seems to believe this, at least they act as if it is all that matters in life. Perhaps the rest of humankind have misunderstood? Or maybe not...
Well...I've mentioned a few things that life consists of. So what is life then?
So far life is: Love, good and bad experiences, other people, God and perhaps football.
I now urge you all to suggest more things that together makes life whatever it is. Or, if you know the answer to my first question, tell us;)
Cheers!!

Av og til...

Av og til har jeg bare ingenting å skrive om, selv om det nå kan virke mot sin hensikt å nettopp skrive! Men av og til er det liksom ingenting som nødvendigvis må ut gjennom fingrene, og det ender opp med en masse svada som ingen egentlig får noe ut av å lese. Da blir det til at jeg prater om slike hverdagsligheter som at tja...det er 20 cm snø ute (ja Håkon, vet du faktisk evt blir misunnelig dersom snømengden i Martin ikke tilsvarer kravene;) og at det nærmer seg jul for de som ikke visste det, og at livet ellers fortoner seg sånn nogenlunde normalt (jada, lange setninger er fint;)
Så før dere drukner helt i lange setninger med minimalt innhold, får jeg bare fortelle dere at jeg er glad dere stikker innom og gir meg en kommentar nå og da (om det er tilfelle;) og så er jeg glad i dere og savner deg Siri:) store bjørneklemmer til alle!!
