On these granite floors, with the curving horizon and the high sky, I experience outer space touching ground. Here I can see with my own eyes how we are spinning in the cosmic ocean of Γ†gir on a humongous rolling stone Captured @ Ytre Hvaler national park πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄ πŸ“·:Me #animism #NewAni #NordicAnimism

Post glacial landscape with granite "floors" (Called svaberg in Norwegian), rolling stones and the ocean in the background. Also in the background towards the horizon is two people and a small dog. They have covered their faces because of the wind, looking more like climbers on a mountain summit. The sun is going down.

The beguine Hadewijch of Antwerp taught the virtue of β€œnoble unfaith.” The problem with faith for most people, she said, was how it dampened desire by answering every question and creating contentment.
