in quarantine with Aslan
Different Pen · 27 pvNew Year's Eve. Last night I shivered uncomfortably in bed, this morning a nurse stuck a cotton swab up my nostril and poked around in my brain. So this New Year's Eve I'm celebrating...
never such a blizzard before
Different Pen · 27 pvIt was like a Christmas movie. The heroine puts her frail, elderly mother in the car together with all the Christmas gifts and takes off for the holiday celebrations with family. Only to be...
hyacinths and the not-normal existence
Different Pen · 25.12.2021I bought a third hyacinth just to make sure the scent stays in my home over Christmas. The pandemic takes another chokehold on society and sometimes...

silk shirts in snow
Different Pen · 09.11.2021November is a cemetery full of candles for the dead, one of them mine. A cold mist of weariness, stifling dreams. A creative flow slowing into a muddy, fetid pool. Snow turning to rain, dancing to backache.It is also a...
trams, haunted castles, the world
Different Pen · 05.11.2021I travelled through most of Helsinki by tram last weekend. That was a good weekend.Add to that a good friend, a murder mystery comedy play at the...
through a storm and almost to Sweden
Different Pen · 15.10.2021I have made it something of a life principle. To leave Finland at least once a year for a trip to foreign lands. Sometimes it has been only a quick...
last night, and all the stars are there
Different Pen · 14.10.2021Just as it was getting a little too cold for another weekend in the summer cottage, I went back there one more time. My addiction made me go....
how open and wide the sky
Different Pen · 20.09.2021As a city-dweller I'm always awed when I'm dropped in the middle of the countryside. I'm amazed by the forest, the fields, the quiet villages that seem completely deserted even though they...
twirling between silver and gold
Different Pen · 26.08.2021Chilly rain, lots of work, hair pulled away from the face. A taste for sugar, tired mornings, trying to get back on track. A motorcycle ride, Matisse...
summer moments, the good ones
Different Pen · 15.08.2021Reveling in summer heat by the glittering sea, sun and salt and blue nailpolish on my bare toes, as my mother naps in the cottage nearby.Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries with cream...
recurring dream #7
Different Pen · 09.08.2021I had that dream again. The one where I go back to work in the Magic Valley, which I sometimes, but not very seriously, daydream about doing. It's almost twenty years since I left now.The dream is always filled with...
assortment of motorcycle people

three hours north, three hours east
Different Pen · 01.08.2021Road trip formula: three hours north, then three hours east.Raahe with sleepy streets, part of a hardrock concert (we're not hardrock people) and the...
at a hazy distance from shore
Different Pen · 24.07.2021A rare day in the lap of luxury: a big boat roaring out towards the outer archipelago, a blue sea still as a sheet of glass. An almost deserted island with open horizons in every direction,...
glamour stopped me in the street
Different Pen · 23.07.2021I'm back in the city of my wide-eyed youth. On this very path I walked home after my first day at university, thinking I had taken on something...
for the straightforward pathway had been lost

when I should have
Different Pen · 25.06.2021This is what today was like: I slept late when I should have been up and working. I cleaned my house when I should have been in the office. I wrote emails in an empty office when I should have been buying strawberries....
where the river flows backwards
Different Pen · 24.06.2021Stepping with caution in a long, black skirt, up and down winding staircases of stone worn smooth, with walls too close and lintels too low....
silk nightdresses and sweaters
Different Pen · 23.06.2021Midsummer is trying to go to sleep with the sun shining in from the northwest. Waking up to too-loud birdsong and not knowing if it's day or night. Too warm in silk nightdresses, shivering...
labyrinth of books, candles and wine bottles
Different Pen · 31.05.2021I read a wonderful book last winter. It has magic doors opening from our world into an underground labyrinth filled with books, candles and wine...
