Uttalelse fra Edvardas hus: Martin og jeg er ikke lenger kjærester
- og han kommer heller ikke til Kairo i januar (hørt 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 å være kristen. En er at norske menn straks de får rede på det gripes av en infantil trang til å banne og klø seg bak og opptre som om jeg legger kjelker i mellom oss! Dette opplevde jeg sist søndag. Det skal bli deilig å slippe dette en måneds tid! :)

Det stunder mot jul...

En kilde sprang frem
Fra den strøm av evighet som går
under historien
En kilde sprang frem fra en annen
og evigere vår.
~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.
