Hello everyone! I hope everything is exactly as it should be with you that it is good with you. Now I have lived in the tent for eleven days. But only been on the trip to the north for six days. Moving out to the tent is probably one of the best things I have done, so far so good. Being in nature 24/7 is pure medicine for body and soul. There were a lot of thoughts and a lot of worries of course. It's a big change. I do not know where this journey will take me, but I know that it is for my best and that it is something I have to do. As I wrote on the page about me, it is also an inner journey, and that is the biggest part of this trip. A lot has happened inside me in just eleven days, so I look forward to what will happen in the near future. I have found a peace that is absolutely amazing, a great calm. But can also be stressed of course when things go bananas, will come to that soon. I have come much closer to my guides, who we all have around us all the time. Who is there to help us on our journey on this planet. And that's one of the things why I do this, I think. There will be much less screen time when I live like this. Before, I have more or less lived in front of the computer. Ever since 2004 actually. So it's a big change just that. Perhaps the largest. Also nice to be mostly in nature. Cycled through Bollnäs yesterday. Just stopped at the cemetery and filled up with water. Far too much vehicle and noise. Just wanted to bike through the city. A pity because I got the impression that it is a beautiful city. But nature is best for me, even though I want to see people sometimes. Some day I have felt quite alone, humanly alone, so to speak. Then I can call one of my sons and talk a little. The journey so far has gone quite well. At the time of writing, I am in Järvsö, at a bathing place out on an island, a nature reserve. Came here after over 80 km cycling yesterday. By car from Gruvberget to Järvsö it is only about 30 miles I think, but on the Sweden Trail that goes a little here and there on smaller roads, it will be much longer. The last part was questionable. Be wet like a rat. Then I really wondered what I was doing. It was cold and I did not really know where this bathing place was. Found here in the end and pitched the tent in drizzle for the first time, it gets quite wet. Actually panicked a bit for a while. My budget does not allow camping right now, and I am not eager to pay between 20 - 40 euros to take up about 4 square meters for my tent. Enough about that. I had set the goal from the beginning to take it easy, something I did not succeed so well with. So it almost felt like I was wearing myself out yesterday. Felt like I was in a bike race yesterday. It's nice to pull on sometimes when your legs are strong, but it has its price. So today I stand here and just breathe, and write this. Got it from my guide when I talked to him via the pendulum this morning, and he said I would breathe and just be there. So of course I do. I think I'll move on tomorrow. May cycle back a 10 km to follow the green signs again. Should stop driving after the app I uploaded to my mobile about Sweden tril because it is not correct. So now I think I'm driving on the green signs instead. We'll see what happens tomorrow. We have this day first. This is completely new to me. Both the bike ride, the website and writing a blog. I am a very open person, so it will be very personal. Like a diary maybe. You who are interested, fun that you like it and take part of what I write. You who do not like it are perfectly okay too. Just not read it. Maybe the photos I take fit others better.

For the next time: Love and light to you who are reading this!
