Uttalelse fra Edvardas hus: Martin og jeg er ikke lenger kj�rester - og han kommer heller ikke til Kairo i januar (h�rt slikt!)
"Today - it cannot be denied - there is no Alexander the Great. There are indeed plenty of those who know how to murder... but no one can lead the way to India. Even in those days the gates of India were beyond reach, but the royal sword pointed to where they stood. Today the gates have been carried off to some quite other, remoter and loftier place; no one knows the direction; many hold swords in their hands, but only to brandish them, and the eye that tries to follow them grows confused." ~Franz Kafka, The New Advocate
Det er en rekke lidelser forbundet med � v�re kristen. En er at norske menn straks de f�r rede p� det gripes av en infantil trang til � banne og kl� seg bak og opptre som om jeg legger kjelker i mellom oss! Dette opplevde jeg sist s�ndag. Det skal bli deilig � slippe dette en m�neds tid! :)
Det stunder mot jul...
En kilde sprang frem Fra den str�m av evighet som g�r under historien En kilde sprang frem fra en annen og evigere v�r. ~Stein Mehren
I was born and grew up in Trondheim. It was here Kolbein the Strong destroyed the mighty image of Thor at the command of King Olaf in the presence of thousands of heathens. It was also here that Olaf`s silver shrine drew to the Nidaros Cathedral (undoubtedly Scandinavia`s most interesting building) pilgrims from all over Europe.
At the moment I`m attending a master programme at the faculty of law in Oslo. For the purpose of studying Islamic law in the Egyptian context I will be conducting field work in Cairo the year of 2004. I also look forward to moving into the field of conflict at the Institute of Cultural Studies where I will be studying religion and politics. For the rest, we learn two things at the Faculty of Law. One is de lege lata and judisium. The other is to think conservatively. Just look around. Who of all schools is located at Karl Johan below the Royal Palace? Who is known to master the sharp, classical 'look'? Who, if any, is able to achieve the at the same time powerful and discreet self-awareness of being everywhere placed in society`s casting ladle? But the conservative stance is other and more than a neat student image.

Mens vi venter p� fullf�relsen... stikk ogs� innom disse guddommelig humoristiske jentene:
Cephar - the patron saint of girls is here Nina - autumn salmon in Grong William: did Weber adhere to natural law, or did he not - according to Olaussen? Tor - fine travel companion and friend Blindern fjellgruppe - jeg gleder meg til ny hyttetur til kvikne!
2. september: Sennepsfarvet vaskeklutklatt lokalisert i badekardusjen - skal jeg regne med at den tilh�rer nabo �yvind? Den sendes efter grundig t�rk, vask, stryk etc.
