These days, in June, in my garden, right outside my back door, a little miracle is happening. Every day. A small, two-centimeter-long underwater monster crawls up from the little, muddy waterhole. When we moved in 4 years ago, I tried to clean the pond. It was so muddy, full of old leaves and branches. We
School systems all over the Western World seem to be in a crisis: children and youth opt out and stay at home. Choose the computer instead of the teacher. Their safe home instead of the classroom. Aloneness in their room instead of school environments. For years. It seems like a choice, but it isn’t. It’s
Det tomme skal efter guldsmedens nye krop er fløjet væk Overgange og menneskelig transformation har altid fascineret mig.
