öppna landskap

Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap,nära havet vill jag bo,
några månader om året, så att själen kan få ro.
Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, där vindarna får fart.
Där lärkorna slår högt i skyn, och sjunger underbart.
Där bränner jag mitt brännvin själv, och kryddar med Johannesört,
och dricker det med välbehag, till sill och hembakt vört.
Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, nära havet vill jag bo.

Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ,
ingen kommer in i min närhet, som stänger in och stjäl.
Jag trivs bäst när dagen bräcker, och fälten fylls av ljus,
när tuppar gal på avstånd, när det är långt till närmsta hus.
Men ändå så pass nära, att en tyst och stilla natt,
när man sitter under stjärnorna, kan höra festens skratt.
Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ.

Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri,
när stranden fylls med snäckskal, med havsmusik uti.
När det klara och det enkla, får råda som det vill,
när ja, är ja, och nej, är nej,och tvivlet tiger still.
Då binder jag en krans av löv, och lägger den runt närmaste sten,
där runor ristats för vår skull, nån gång för länge sen.
Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri.

fattening antibiotics

"Supplementing animal feed with antimicrobial agents to enhance growth has been common practice for more than 30 years and is estimated to constitute more than half the total antimicrobial use worldwide." We fatten cows on antibiotics and yet cry ignorance when responding to the questions of childhood obesity!

shelter - in praise of others

Well, it's hard to glorify others due to my
Intense pride
Even amongst friends you'll find I sit and criticize
That's what I do best, it's how I forget my actual size
A leash that ties me to this world
Yeah, a wicked mind brought me to this world, Lord, please help me move forward
I've been guilty so long, I know that I'm wrong, please help me sing this song in praise of others
In praise of others
In praise of others
In praise
Can I glorify others, my sisters or my brothers or anyone else?
Each fault that I find in you I find tenfold in myself
Envy, a disease, it's inside of me
But I'm the loser in the end
Yeah, a wicked mind brought me to this world, Lord, please help me move forward
I've been guilty so long, I know that I'm wrong, please help me sing this song in praise of others
In praise of others
In praise of others
In praise
Hey
I should have blamed myself
Instead of everyone else
But God forbid they find fault with me, we're instant enemies
How dare I see myself honestly as others may see
A proud fool, I turn away, won't hear what they say, it might benefit me
But I remain tied in this net of pride but I wanna be free
Yeah, a wicked mind brought me to this world, Lord, please help me move forward
I've been guilty so long, I know that I'm wrong, please help me sing this song in praise of others
In praise of others
In praise of others
In praise
Praise of others

Five Levels of Truth Telling

__________

Start telling the truth now and never stop.

Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself.

Then tell the truth to yourself about another.

Then tell the truth about yourself to another.

Then tell the truth about another to that other.

Finally, tell the truth to everybody about everything.
