Religion and Art, KG Hammar, Imri Sandström

Yesterday  

I had the great opportunity listening to K G Hammar 

the former head of the swedish church and archbishop of Uppsala 

and 

 

the swedish artist Imri Sandström talking about religion and art and truth in between, 

in Umeå stads kyrka.

Photo taken by me, before church this beautiful sunny sunday in the nature close to my house.

It was two hours filled with philosophic dialogue. 

KG Hammar read one of my favorite poems, 
by the Nobel prize winner

Tomas Tranströmer 

called

Romanska bågar

..and his conclusion of what

Tomas Tranströmer might have meant by the poem...

...was..

...awoid becoming only a tourist of your life....... 

...that touched my heart!

Natural Love and Peace wishes

Love and Peace

  

 To you All

Peace embodied on Earth

Love Herb - Dalai Lama



I have some beautiful flowers in my Kitchen from my Garden called


Kärleksört/ Love Herb

Kärleksört/ Love herb



When I looked at this photo I noticed a photo in a frame on the table in the background. 


What a coincidence 
as its a reminder of Love in the frame!

His Holiness Dalai Lama is in the photo. 
  

It was taken by me listening to him in Stockholm telling his

Speak for a New Millenium.

Love is not a coincidence 

 Love 

Is Timeless

Enjoy some of the photos taken during my Tour

in

The Capitol of Sweden

Götgatan, Stockholm

This street is called Götgatan situatied in Södermalm,

"Söder", the south parts of Stockholm.

"Söder" is filled by many old streets, buildings, nice shops, restaurants, galleries etc. 

I love the place!

"Old Town" of Stockholm

You can feel the vibrations 

of old days walking here

Old Town of Stockholm is very inspiring if you 
like narrow streets and alleys
 and enjoy old buildings!

There are many squares in Old Town, 

each of them having its own charm.

Indian cuisine, by Karlsson

I just loooove indian food

follow me making a delicious vegetgarian indian dish!

Spinach, this one from my garden - strong, healthy and full of good things. Spinach is the main ingrediens in this dish. My mother gave me this recipe. She got it from a lady who have visited India several times.

1. Cut onion and garlic in small pieces, add two slices of garlic in pieces and let it heat up some minutes on medium heat. 2. Add crashed tomatoes, 200g spinach in pieces and let it mix/boil together. 3. I also added some fresh tomatoes cut in pieces

At this time you will understand that something really good will be ready to eat in some minutes, as a fantastic aroma in the kitchen starts developing!

4. Add basil and garam masala, salt and pepper. The best is to add it little by little, then after a while find out what amount you want.

5. Cut cheese in pieces and give it a quick heat up in oil.

6. Add the cheese and some cream into the mix of vegetables now having developed the most fantastic connection with each other expressing a superb taste of heaven. 

I beleive that indian food many times have a mix of tastes in it that together make the whole dinner a healing gift from heaven!
