Change

173_Changed

I have changed my plans yet again. Instead of going to Narvik, I was to go to Tronheim, but now have decided to return to Stockholm and then to Oslo and spend about two or three days there and know the city. https://sites.google.com/site/archetypealgorithm/ https://archetypealgorithm.earth/

Programming

172_Power

The two other fellas I meet on the train told me about Santa originating in Finland. They were both sales men on a four-day drinking binge, one who had left his wife and kids at home. We talked a while and they showed me a side of Finland that has the programming from the cold

Santa Clause

171_Clause

So today I walked from the city to a place more north than the Arctic Circle and when I arrived, I found Santa‘s home. I do sometimes wonder how all that Santa/Saint Clause got congealed with the pagan sun god‘s birth and then had the birth of Jesus woven in. Jesus and the sun god

Rovaniemi

170_Rovaniemi

I arrived in Rovaniemi, Finland last night from Helsinki by train. I had meetings with four interesting people on the way. One young woman was knocking off her classes of child counselor training to go home, the other woman I assumed was Italian because she was speaking fluent Italian and had dark hair and dark

169_Deficiency

I have almost decided not to return to Holland. The only thing calling me there is the tea and today I figured that I could do without it. I must continually try to take less part in the deficiency. Tomorrow I go back to the train station to see about going more north. This is

168_Roasting

I have noticed that people/ most people are wearing very heavy layers of clothing. As for myself, I am sweating with just a short sleeve shirt and a Henley on; they must be roasting in their gortex, wool, and fur coats. https://sites.google.com/site/archetypealgorithm/ https://archetypealgorithm.earth/

167_Still

I am on my way of still lightening my load by getting by with less and at a lesser cost. Although I did buy a recorder today, I hope to become adept at playing it. First, I must learn the notes and practice the scales before song; one thing at a time. https://sites.google.com/site/archetypealgorithm/ https://archetypealgorithm.earth/

166_Overcast

Helsinki is more pleasant than I initially gave it credit for. After getting off the ferry here, I got something to eat, sat in the sun, washed cloths, and went to bed until this morning. I may have to venture out tonight to see if I can catch the moon but the day has been

165_Traffic

I am sitting on a tall rock formation that overlooks Gabriella, the ferry that will take me to Helsinki this later afternoon. From this vantage point there is a wonderful view of Stockholm. I am sitting and waiting to see if the clock tower bell will ring and if it does, will it be heard

164_Life

Life is becoming full of meaning as I continue on my endeavor of spirituality, but I still have miles to go before I sleep. Last night I was talking to Alexandria from Columbia. We talked of travel and her country’s problems. I once again shared my views on the fulfillment of life and once gain
