We went to stay in our house in Sweden, just a few days break, without the internet. It was wonderful and nourishing. Many ideas came to mind.
On sunday our neighbor told us there had been some shooting in Copenhagen.
We got home monday not knowing what the atmosphere would be like, a very strange feeling.
Thuesday I went to help out at a poetry reading and got some time on the silent stage.
Outside was packed with armed police – and a lot of them! The young poet reading this night, Yahya Hassan is under a lot of protection and the incidents this weekend has increased the protection. I went to his reading a few weeks ago and there was only a few policemen, now there was like 10 – 20 inside, and as many outside.At first it was scary and surreal, but everybody was handling it so nice and kind, so the atmosphere this night was amazing.
My knitting stayed in my bag – but I can tell you – it’s going to be a tale on how we influence each other ❤
