Mastodawn

At five AM, when Gothenburg sleeps, I tie my shoes and step into the cold.

The path along the Göta River is mine alone. Just breath, footfalls, and silver light on the water.

Where does your practice happen?

I didn't invite the Swedish seasons into my practice journal. They came anyway.

Winter wrote two words. Spring wrote three full pages. The mat held all of it.

How do the seasons move through your practice?

The most important books in my life were never printed on paper.

My grandmother's terrace in Granada. The Göta River at dawn. My mat during savasana.

Where does your real learning happen?

The alarm was five-thirty. The river path was slick with frost. Luna had the pillow.

Every logical argument was against going out. I went anyway.

What kept you going when everything was telling you to stop?

The most important books in my life were never printed on paper.

My grandmother's terrace in Granada. The Göta River at dawn. My mat during savasana.

Where does your practice happen?

The first time I ran in Swedish winter darkness, I couldn't see ahead.

Streetlights made pools of orange. Beyond that, just darkness. My feet learned to trust what eyes couldn't see.

Northern summer nights are the best. In the first picture it's 11.30ish PM, and it's about to get dim. You can easily stay up all night eating s'mores 🤤
