This was truly a gift to wake up to. I have today off because Gerdelin is in the hospital getting a new hip. And that's good, because we have ice and lots of snow. So that's why, after Bow and I feed the birds, put out a dish of lukewarm bath water and clear a path by the tree they like to be in, I can sit in bed with coffee and read everything that's written here. Put on my little Bluetooth speaker and enjoy all the snippets added along the way. It becomes so alive that way. I so appreciate how kind, attentive and present Bob Dylan is in his own words. And I chuckle and laugh at the recognition that we all started somewhere, we were all young and ignorant when we were in the middle of life, how we almost felt the admiration for those we wanted to learn from as intensely as an immature crush could. It's often the same thing at the start. I recognize myself. And I recognize myself in going in depth about things and then breaking out of it and getting to know other things. This was a wonderful greeting. Thank you very much. I will make this year's snowman today. I make one every year. The snow that came last night couldn't have been better. So I seize the moment and the day. Lots of warmth from Old Norway. 😎

Ignorant? Hm..that dont seem like an great word when I read it in english. I just meant the wonder of being young and pure. The intensety in admiration. Anyways. Its all good, I think. I know what I meant. 😄

And one more thing, Heidi's boyfriend who I rent from, Justin just now told me something about New York. He's from Indiana I think, at least his family lives there now, and on Saturday they're traveling to America for the first time together. He said: When I left New York in 2015, after living there for 10 years, it was like saying goodbye to a friend, if New York was a person, he was an old man that he was also a little afraid for, he had said, thank you for not killing me, the beating I received I survived and I will never return. After that he moved to Norway and eventually met Heidi. He is a painter himself, just like you and his job in New York was in the gallery of the Sand brothers who also live near us here on the island. He is obviously looking forward to travelling, but now he has responsibility for both Heidi and Alva. Her youngest daughter. Justin had just been digging a hole in the ice and had his head under when I met him. I think he will protect them just fine. He is a warm person. I will put Angels around them every day while they are away. Bow and myself will take care of buisness here on the farm in the meantime in the christmastime. I think they will have a great trip. But then, New York does different things with different people from what I now understand.
