The Path: the first step

I have been in Trondheim with Peter Elmberg and we have mapped out the first legs of the Path, the planned trek of 2012.

For those who don't know - and it should be most of you as we haven't yet introduced the idea to any great number of people - we are planning a long song-walk.

What?
Yea right, a loooong song-walk!

When?
April to September 2012!

Where?
From Trondheim, Norway through Sweden to Copenhagen, Denmark!

Who?
All are welcome! It will be as a relay and you do as much or as little as you can or want.

Why?
The path is beckoning...

How?
Step by step, by the grace of God and the support of fellow travelers on the path.


Now really, what is this?

As those of you who have followed us know: we have over the years arranged a lot of "Song-Walks" starting with "Sång i Dalgång" 1994. The concept is simple and beautiful: we go on tour with our own feet and voices as means of transportation and communication. We get a small repertoire together and then we go on tour. Walking. We have done it from Peter's Mundekulla now the last four years and this year we will be walking in the archipelago of Blekinge. Read more here!  (in Swedish.)

And next year will be the year of the path.

Get ready, gird your loins and stay in tune with this site and your own sense of path and purpose - and more information will appear...

Mundekulla Music Festival.

We are here in the embrace of Mundekulla, the course centre in the middle of the woods. Every morning kicks-off with a circle-dance on the lawn. What a wonderful way to start the day! The first morning we sang a new song of Anne Elmberg: I am beautiful  just the way I am. You are beautiful  just the way you are. Shining like a star, we are here to be  who we truly are. We are beautiful  j ust the way we are. And we danced and saw our beauty. Just as we are. It is wonderful for a walker from the long, straight roads to rest in a circle-dance. That is a home-coming of sorts. The meeting is the reward of the walker, the fellowship his goal and the trust his staff. The festival ended with us all summing it all up by creating and singing a new song with Sadhu the dancing dervish in the middle.  Download the full score from here! The lyrics were born out of the moment:  (in a not-so-poetic English translation;)...

Åke Edvinsson, 60 år

Det går nog knappt en dag utan att jag tänker i tacksamhet på dig, Åke. Alla minnen som vi delat under årens lopp blir man ju ständigt påmind om genom gamla sånger och sammanhang, människor och miljöer som poppar upp litet här och där, litet nu och då. Häromdagen slogs jag av en lust att hålla ett tacktal till dig för allt du betytt för mig, men antog att det är väl något jag kommer att skjuta upp tills din begravning - om nu inte du kommer att sjunga på min dessförinnan. Men varför vänta till dess, tänkte jag sen? Det är så dags då, nej låt mig få uttrycka detta nu! Och så vaknar jag idag och ser att du fyller 60 år! Detta är mitt tillfälle, att få skriva ett helt oförblommerat tacktal till en underbar människa som nog betytt mer för mig - och för många andra - än någon annan utanför den innersta familjekretsen! Den första gång jag såg dig var den första gång jag hörde dig; i barnkören som repade i kyrkskolan under fröken Gun Anderssons ledning. Och vi fortsatte s...

Mountain and sea

I am cradled so safe between mountain and sea. So protected yet floating so flawlessly free. I am wave, I am particle, child, I am God,  I'm the fish, I'm the star. I'm the kick in your womb, I'm the kiss in your ear. I'm the "I AM" transcending the time and the sphere. I am here, I am near, I am now, I am dear. I'm the child of all your dreams.  I'm the dream come true, I am you! The  reason for being born in flesh is to learn to see way beyond it. The reason for leaving my mother’s deep warm sea is to learn the Oneness of all. My kicks are a tapdance with time and with space. I am learning from the beats of my mother's heart's embrace, and from the soft of the floors and the walls of her womb I will incarnate soon. I'm the dream come true, I am you! I'm the dream come true, I am you! This post has waited a long time to be published.  "Mountain and sea"  was written when...
