"Man is more himself, man is more manlike,
when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief is superficial.
Melancholy should be an innocent interlude,
a tender and fugitive frame of mind;
praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul.
pessimism is at best an emotional half-holiday;
joy is is the uproarious labour by which all things live. "
G.K. Chesterton,
Orthodoxy
Pictures from Borgen in Troms;
Joy over nature, creation and the change of season.
Chesterton altså! Han kan få sagt det! Fine ord for en livsopptimist det der! Og fine bilder Ragnhild! Det var ein fin tur!
