Conscious presence opens the now. Yet it's difficult to be present in the now. There's always something tugging you away. A spot itches, or you're afraid of ticks. Or the red deer.

12.09.2022 // book haul
went on vacation and of course, i returned with more books than i left with. i have no self-control whatsoever and the only thing saving my wallet was the limited space of my luggage
a man called ove by fredrik backmann
while in sweden, i needed to buy a book by a swedish writer and this one was on my tbr for so long, there was no other option than to take it home with me
wild swims by dorthe nors
in copenhagen, i was overwhelmed and a bit lost when it came to danish writers and the store was so busy, i was too anxious to ask someone for a recommendation. tho when paying for it, the woman working the register praised both this book and dorthe nors so much, i'm positive i won't regret choosing this one
persuasion by jane austen
i'm slowly working towards my own collection of classics and seeing persuasion for only twenty dkk in a shop with used books, there was not much of thinking of whether to buy it or not
kafka on the shore by haruki murakami
had this on my tbr for a while, love japanese literature, and it was on sale. win-win-win

"But Knud is connected to this landscape, and he knows that identity must be formed in the schism. You carry the place you come from inside of you, but you can never go back to it."
**********************************************************************
"'I have come here often,' she writes. 'A whole childhood, every single day. All these arrivals are false, because in reality I was born here. Here I can do nothing but return.'
But that's just one side of the coin, Kerstin, I think. The other is this: the place you come from is not somewhere you can ever return. It no longer exists, and you have become a stranger."
A Line in the World: A Year on the North Sea Coast by Dorthe Nors trans. by Caroline Waight

“The power of place. You came here once with all you had, left it and travelled on. And so it is filled with fragments of memory. They flicker, these fragments. They rise like dust...”

Mind-wandering guided by three good books
Mind-wandering guided by three good books by #DortheNors, #Philippe Claudel and #MargueriteDuras
We took a long weekend break last week. We did some walking, read some books and not much else. I read ‘A line in the world: a year on the North Sea Coast‘ by the Danish writer Dorthe Nors (translated by Caroline Waight). The author, Jessica J. Lee, described this book as ‘starkly, achingly beautiful’ which aptly describes an exploration of history and memories associated with the wild and…

Language is powerful, almost magic, and the smallest alteration can elevate a sentence or be its undoing.

Dorthe Nors vult de leegte met een verhaal
Rond het eiland Manø of Mandø doen veel verhalen de ronde; bron beeld: ecomare.nl
De Deense schrijfster Dorthe Nors (1970) schreef met Langs de kustlijn een prachtige verzameling herinneringen, verhalen, geschiedenissen en indrukken over de kustlijn in haar eigen land en raakte daarbij ook nog de Nederlandse en Duitse Waddenzee-kust.
In dit artikel gaat het over de mensen die naar de kust komen…

Dah'ni: 'Background' 2, 6, and 8!
Background
2. Where did they grow up? A city? A village? Isolated, in the wilderness? What was it like to leave?
Dah’ni grew up as the youngest of five in the city of Rimmen in the state of Anequina in Elsweyr. They tended a market stall with their siblings while their parents and other family worked a farm. The family wasn’t that well off, but could still support themselves, at least. Growing up in a city has made Dah’ni used to crowds and bustling streets, and being alone for too long really takes a toll on them. When they left after having upset the Aldmeri Dominion, Dah’ni had no time to say any proper farewells, nor feel any remorse for leaving their family behind. The rush of adrenaline and fear of being taken away by the Thalmor were too great to really feel anything else. However, even with having found a family in Skyrim, there’s still that ache in their heart for home.
6. What are their interpersonal relationships like? Are they close with many people?
Dah’ni is of course close with Lydia, Kharjo, and Cicero, of which the four of them are in a polyamorous relationship with each other. They also care a great deal for Erandur, and view him as a father figure. Any time they’re in Dawnstar, Dah’ni pays him a visit. As well, Alvor, Sigrid and Dorthe from Riverwood are dear friends to them, and in fact Alvor helped Dah’ni find a hobby in smithing, which they tend to do in their spare time. Dah’ni is also good friends with Babette and Nazir, Brynjolf, Teldryn Sero, J’zargo, Sybille Stentor, and many, many more. Needless to say, their adventures let them meet and befriend a lot of people!
8. What guilds do they join? Are they committed to those guilds, or are they mostly in them for the benefits?
Dah’ni is the listener of the Dark Brotherhood, and a master thief in the Thieve’s Guild (in this canon, Dah’ni isn’t the guildmaster, that role has been given to Karliah after a bit of persuading). They’re also a student at the College of Winterhold, giving Tolfdir the role as arch-mage. In their canon, Dah’ni formed a guild of their own, too: the Adventurer’s Guild, of which they are the guildmaster for that, sharing the role with Lydia, and the guild hall being Lakeview Manor near Falkreath. For each and every one of these factions, Dah’ni is a hard working member for all.
#ask#ask games#ardate#dah’ni#cruising says things#tysm pal aaa!! these were some fun ones!#poor kitty going from the desert they’re so used to to cold snowy tundra well at least they have fur#their past is something I surprisingly haven’t planned out excessively#but it gives me the chance to look into these places and see how the fourth era has affected them#and how it affects Dah’ni as well#ty for sending these! it’s really fun to solidify ocs
