A text about my texts
I write for myself. Not for anybody else. However, I have for roughly 30 years chosen to share my writing and offer it to the world. As it is. On different platforms, in different channels.

Opting for the difficult
Roughly 20 years ago I realized our current idea of civilisation could not be sustained. I imagine many have had similar insights.

And honestly… Fortsätt läsa Opting for the difficult

Contemplations by @jandeman

I refuse to tidy it up as I want it to be a record of my thoughts, interests and emotions,… Fortsätt läsa Contemplations by @jandeman
