Din veg / Your way

 

I’ve just read a book by Erling Kagge called Walking, and I really enjoyed it.

So, when I had the opportunity to visit the Slovenian seaside with my husband, who had to work there all day, I decided to spend the whole day walking. It turned out to be an absolutely perfect day. At first, it felt a bit strange – I was almost the only one walking alone. There were so many families with children, couples, and groups of friends.

But once I embraced being on my own, I truly began to enjoy it. I walked nearly 20 kilometres along the seaside. 

Here are a few photos I’d like to share with you.

Do you see the signpost on the first photo? Translation: White Rocks (to the right) and Bay of the Moon (to the left). I love the names of those places so much. The town to the right is beautiful Izola. City in the distance: Trieste.

In the book Walking I came across the Norvegian poet, Olav H. Hauge and his poem Din veg / Your way. Here is part of the poem (translated by deepl). I love it a lot!

 

Din veg

Ingen kan varda den vegen
du skal gå
ut i det ukjende,
ut i det blå.
Dette er din veg.
Berre du skal gå han.  

Your way

No-one can tell you the way
you will go
into the unknown,
into the blue.
This is your path.
Only you will walk it.
