Halloween and Dreams Coming True

It's one of the most mystical and magical nights of the year... Samhain or as many other people know it- Halloween or All Hallows' Evening.
The rusty moon is shining in the gloomy sky, smoky clouds caulking past it. The dogs howl at the ghostly walkers who roam the streets in the late hours of the night. You can feel the magic and the souls of the people who are not that ready to let go of their life just jet.
And even though not many people celebrate Samhain here I feel like I have to put on my pointy hat and go outside to take some spectral pictures of the spooky moon outside.
The candles are sitting in a row on my table and with every breath I take I can see their flames flickering. It's such a beautiful night. It's such a beautiful life.

I love Halloween.

And now to the dreams....
I've always dreamt of singing. And singing opera seemed like such a noble mission to me. All this power that comes from inside you yourself. This voice you create that makes shivers crawl down the listeners spine and rises the hair on their arms.
I had the chance to try to sing Opera and  I grabbed the opportunity with both of my hands. I studied it for a month or two and then came the time to show my skills.. I passed the first part of the competition and I got to the finals. I was lucky and good enough to impress the judges and I made it to the final 10 singers who now have the chance to study opera from the professionals of their field.
The first lessons start on this Friday and I can not wait for them. I am so, so exited!!!!!! =D

Keep believing in your dreams and one day they will come true!

Dream it, Wish it, Do it!

The Sound of Autumn

Autumn. There is this scent of winter in the air.
The leaves have fallen and the cold has arrived. Even the first snow has arrived and the grass is covered with a thin layer of that white, wet and wonderful stuff.
You sit in the middle of lighted candles and look out of the window, following the slowly falling snowflakes with your sleepy eyes. The enchanting music plays dreamily and you drift away to wonderland.
 Nice, isn't it? That's why I love Autumn. This feeling of the end and the hope of a new one. This peacefulness and calmness that crawls under your skin and makes you feel like you are floating. Like all the worries don't exist anymore. That everything is in its' best order. And you know what? Everything is in it's best order because Imperfection is Perfection in its' purest form.

From the very depths of the darkest forest..

 The everlasting quietness is resting on the shoulders of this forest. It's dark and calling. Exiting as you can smell the danger of the woods. The tall and slim birches swing menacingly, towering over your head and hiding you from the reality. Trapping you inside this unreal world of shadows. You are afraid and you can not move. Every branch that moves in the air makes shivers crawl down your spine. Everything is alive. But what you don't know is that no one in this forest wants to hurt you. They want to protect you. Hide you from the harsh reality of the world outside of that place here. Protect you from pain, tears, betrayal and loneliness. Can't you hear them singing to you? The trees hushing the melody while the animals stamp the rhythm. The leaves dance around you making thousands of formations just to relax you. And there peeks a fairy from that tree trunk calling you to meet the magic. And you follow him to the depths of the forest wherefrom you never return...

Land elds og ís

Land elds og ís.

The land of fire and ice.
Finally we met and I could not resist you. I fell for you. You put your spell on me and now I am everlastingly trapped inside your magic.
Yes. This is Iceland and this is what it does with you. It catches you like a butterfly from the sky and holds you in it's arms without ever letting go. Ever. But you really don't want to leave it either.
The emptiness it creates inside you is like running away from everything bad you know. And all you can feel is blissfulness.

Big and small, hand to hand rule that land of rocks.

 I knew what to expect. I did. Before stepping onto the plane I knew that my home for a week will be a land filled with mountains, ice, lava and rocks. 
 Then I saw it from the sky. Gorgeous.
 And then I looked at it when I was leaving the Keflavik airport. Empty. I must admit, that at first I was a bit disapointed. There was nothing there! But as we slowly drifted away with our bus towards Reykjavik I was hooked. There was nothing but lava, lava rocks and moss and that was what got me. An entirely different environment. A different paradise. A dangerous paradise and a quite windy one I must say. =)
I was finally there. The land of the Vikings.

Some kind of number...
