The Little Moments of Life

"Hvis rett er rett
og feil er feil
er det siste ordet sagt
også blir trist for tristhetskyld
kan bli en gråtkvalt kamp om makt
men hva hjelper det med tårer da
når øynene bare ser
at rett er rett
og feil er feil
da kan jeg ikke si noe mer

For jeg snakker om å leve
jeg snakker om å gi
jeg snakker om å elske
jeg snakker om å se
jeg snakker om å synge
så høyt som jeg vil
jeg snakker om å gå
til for til det jeg vil"

This is the two first verses of a song my mom have said she wants in her funeral. I don't really want to try to translate it, because I have to many feelings connected to this song, and I fear I can't do it justice. So to everybody who does not understand Norwegian, I am sorry.
Today was the third day with sun since we came back two and a half weeks ago, 3 days in almost 3 weeks. So I did what all people should do when they are not sure when they will see sun again for a while. I did my cleaning really fast and went out to take pictures. It was as beautiful as Flekke can be in sun light. After a while Isa, my German roommate, caught up with me and we ended up looking for a nice spot together. I took some lovely lovely pictures of her. But I want back a bit before, on my way back, the above song poped up on my iPod. It always reminds me that even the people one think of as steadfast rocks are not always going to be there. This song is my memento mori. But it is the little moments that matter, like the 20 minutes Isa and I spent in the sun taking pictures. There are more of them, the art talks with Cheryl when I am bubbling over with ideas for her, the jokes with Thomas, his rusty english computer science proffessor vocie, the eyebrowplucking with Danna, the teasing Anton, water pipe and rpg talks with Bunny. And many more, oh so many more. These are the moments I'll remember, and these are the moments I hope others remember when they think of me. So if anything happened tonight and I didn't wake up tomorrow, these were the moments I cherished, these were the moments that mattered for me. Thanks for providing them.
