Happiness

Happiness

Lyckan
Satt på gyllene pedistal.
Jagar vi och tillber vi den.
Driver oss i olycka.
Men lycka är bara en biprodukt.
Av given du fått.
Och hur du spelar den.

Happiness
Sat on a golden pedestal.
We chase and worship it.
Drives us into misery.
But happiness is just a by-product.
Of the hand you’ve been dealt.
And how you play it.

I’m H. A. P. P. Y, I’m sure I am, I know I am. Ha de Gött!

Gargoyle

Gargoyle

Vattenkastare

likt vattenutkastare
öppen mun och stenansikten
spyr ut lögner och förnekelse

står vi under, tittar på
någon annan träffas
som har annan färg, på paraplyet

håller palatsen torra
när vi vadar i lögner
förnekar det som skaver

Gargoyles (English version)

like gargoyles
open mouths and stone faces
spewing lies and denial

we stand under, watching
someone else get hit
who has a different colour, on the umbrella

keeping the palaces dry
while we wade in lies
denying what chafes

After rain comes shine, ha de Gött!

Hornets Nest

Hornets Nest

I found this amazing and beautiful structure in the little hut we have in the forest. It’s a Hornets nest from last summer. The hornets chew wood to create paper that is clued together with their saliva. They prefer to build in dark places like hollow trees but can also build in houses.

The European hornet (Vespa crabro), Bålgeting in Swedish, is a rather large insect. The queen can be from 25 up to 35 mm in length, while the worker hornets are between 18 and 28 mm where the male workers are slightly larger. Only the female possess a stinger including the queen. The European hornet is carnivorous and eat other insects, including other wasps.

The European hornet generally avoids conflict but if stepped on or grabbed it will sting. It is also defensive of its nest and around food sources. The sting will hurt but if you’re not sensitive it’s not dangerous. Only the queen survives the winter and wakes up in May when she starts to build a new nest.

Don’t poke around others nests, it will sting. Ha de Gött!
