RE: Old friends and a bottle of lager

in Freewriters3 years ago

Don't we all? I know every mother I ever asked this of has told me she has a fantasy of getting in some sort of transportation and leaving her life. Some drive, some sail, some walk, some run, some fly, but in truth, we all stay.

Sort:  

Yes, it is a feeling, not a voyage. In Denmark we have a saying: "the nisse moves with you". It is from an old story about a farmer who had decided to move to another farmstead as he was pestered by the Nisse (a folklore creature that we love and cherish in Scandinavia, a bit like the English brownie - a house God in really). When the man saw the wagon with the furniture rolling down the road he also saw the nisse on top of the load. There's no escaping yourself. But reading can at least for a while let you escape :)

hahaha! Love that story!
