1: Where Did I Come From

M: herskedal
L: mortensson

When I find myself overpowered by anxiety,
I lay myself down on the ground, and let the earth guide my breathing
I offer these tears to her, and rise up
feeling stronger than before,
In silence, I speak to myself

Stopping for a moment, I turn from side to side
facing each cardinal direction
to find out where I came from,
to figure out where I am destined to go next,
In silence, I speak to myself

I have always forced myself to hurry on onwards,
finding comfort in the importance of choosing my own paths

I find myself on my own in this place,
surrounded by self-hatred, 
and wounding words hurled at myself
Why do I run away from everything?
Where will I ever find myself at peace?
In silence, I speak to myself

The path continues,
even if its many twists and turns onwards might surprise me
Sometimes, I make a detour,
questioning my own decisions and convictions,
In silence, I speak to myself

I have run away,
failing to observe life itself as it rushes past around me

2: Piere Åvla’s Yoik

L: mortensson

He always shares his wisdom with a smile on his lips
skillfully helping others
He carries a lot of hidden knowledge in his heart,
blazing his own trail throughout life

5: Dawn

M: herskedal
L: mortensson

Each dawn,
a precious time of unspoilt morning,
the light itself slowly changing its colours,
the eyes adapting to the light of the rising sun

I behold the birds,
as they begin to stretch their wings to the sky
on an endless migration
southwards

Each dawn that comes and goes
the weather is changing around me
I feel these changes in my bones,
from one day to the next

Each dawn that comes and goes
the weather is changing around me
I feel these changes in my bones,
from one day to the next

I am thankful for all the shoe grass that I have gathered
I am thankful for all the wood that I have chopped 

The autumn gives birth to itself 
around us the days grow shorter
the hail storms are being carried 
by the wind from one place to the next

The time of haar frost has come,
the plants dying in the cold,
we’re surrounded by covers of fog,
it is getting colder now 

6: Be Cautious 

M: Mortensson/herskedal
L: Mortensson

We have always protected these lands of ours,
We have known each corner of our mother, 
our planet, since time immemorial
She has allowed us to survive here, sustained us, but the time has now come for her to say that enough is enough

These rainy winters, turning our frozen lakes
into treacherous paths, weaker than before

These cold springs followed by burning summers,
drawing new plants and crawling insects to cover our lands 

The water evaporates under the burning sun,
The springs of our quagmires overgrown with weed

They cut down our pine forests,
the lichen and moss all but gone,
and in their place, fields of overpowering heather

But the Earth, Our Mother, has had enough
Be cautious of her warnings,
The climate has changed,
something is wrong
