Last week I posted a link
to and some lines from 'The Porpoise Diving Life'. A day later I
surprisingly got an email from Bill Dahl, the author of this site, who told me:
“Thanks for the kind words about my site. I am
receiving an incredible number of hits from
Well, that
was a nice one. Today I got the time to do both: Submit a small piece and hereby
telling you to do the same. Here it is:
I´m sitting in a high speed train
and in front of me sits a high-quality-real-life-sequel of Scarlett Johansson.
When - like now - life is going fast and steady straight forward and there is
beauty all around you, I pretty much like life. But there are also times when
nothing is going straight, when you feel like a pink coloured pea in a sea of
glittering diamonds and when you´re biggest wish is to get some vacation from
yourself…I just think of some small things today: my 800m sprint to the train,
the disremember of my keys and the train which is only running on weekdays
