The Way

The Practice · The Road · The Walk · The Daily

The road out of the hypnosis and into clarity. Prayer, praise, the reading of the Word. Training, food, breath, the body as ground. Form, ritual, repetition, the slow re-building of a man who can stand. The Way is not the destination - it is what a life looks like when the direction is no longer in doubt.

    What We Would Have Become If We Had Stayed

    Stumbled across this today. The first image is one of the very first pictures taken of Krisztina and me together. We were on holiday in Mallorca. Nearly 20 years ago now. Two completely different people standing there, than the ones we are today. In some ways unrecognizable to…

    When You Hide Behind Bible Verses, You Stop Being the Light

    After I began writing openly about faith, values and narratives from - and interpretations of - the texts of the Bible, after I stood up myself and clearly declared that I am a Christian, or rather - that I am trying to walk the Christian path (since the bar for being Christian…

    What the Body Reveals About the Inner Work

    Off topic. I took a picture on my 51st birthday last week. I do it every year - to take stock, and hold it against all the preceding years. It was supposed to be just for me - reserved for my own camera roll, as usual. But now I'm sharing it anyway. The picture on the right is…

    Where You Point Your Life Force Shapes What You Become

    I see many good people mismanaging their life force these years. They direct it consistently toward what they oppose. And often without clearly knowing what should replace the existing - what they oppose. It just has to go. "Then everything will be much better." A mechanism that…

    50. Halfway Through - On Rising From Your Own Wreckage

    50. Halfway through life. Maybe I have 50 years left. Maybe I have 5. None of us know. We move with our backs to our death, and no one knows the date of the exit. But I stand here like this. Happy. Not because I'm anything special. But because I chose to rise again. When I fell…

    I Am Not the Subject

    There is a kind of comment I can now recognise by its first four words, and it is never about what I wrote. I have collected a few from the past year.

    The Ark Was Built in Dry Weather

    I've wanted to write this for a long time, so now you're getting it just as it comes, in one go - even though we've circled this story several times in earlier posts. But there's a detail in the story of Noah you easily…

    Politicians Should Live Under Their Own Laws First

    I have a proposal for a constitutional amendment. It is very short. It requires no lawyers, no commissions, no public hearings. It can fit on one line, and everyone will understand it immediately - which is probably why…

    You Cannot Negotiate With Nature

    I'm not going to claim expertise on the American labour market... But I wrote yesterday that if you don't think you were born symmetrical, harmonious and objectively aesthetically beautiful, you could start by working…

    Songs That Only Work When You've Already Said Yes

    There is something about a song that makes no demands. You put it on Friday evening in the summer sun when you're off work - and everything is just about enjoying life. You put it on when the road goes towards sunset…

    When the Sun Rose Over Kattegat at 4:50 This Morning

    If you want to come along to the beach, when the sun rose over Kattegat at approximately 4:50 this morning, you can come with me here ☀️ I offer it for a reason. I have slept late most of my adult life.

    I Love Life Beyond Words - And What It Cost to Find It

    I LOVE Life. So incomprehensibly, so abyssally, that I barely have words for it. I wake up every single morning with the same thought. Let's go, we don't know if it's the last one. And it's been like that for many…

    What Men Have Always Done for Their Flock

    If you scroll down through the comments here on the page and hold them up against how they sounded a few years ago, there is something in the air that has shifted.

    The State's Plan for Your Body Is Not Built for Your Survival

    Last year I got a letter from Ældresagen. I turn 52 in a couple of months, so apparently I'm now in the group designated as "elderly". And I suppose I am. However, I eat between 300 and 450 grams of meat a day, and have…
