Maybe that wasn’t exactly what you meant with the prompt Johannes, but when I dragged the word “surreal” through my head, this was the first thing that came up. It was, and still is very surreal to me, how this could happen I Norway

nat navigation

et øje på pagajen og et

night navigation

one eye on the paddle and one

on the North Star

 The other weekend I took a course in night navigation. It’s not very often I paddle in completely darkness, because of the bright nights we have here during summer. But that night was very dark and every time I dragged my paddle through the water the bioluminescence lighted up around it.  And the North Star just hanging there on the same spot like always, guiding sailors in all times.  That was really an amazing experience. I find it very difficult to fit it into a haiku  ;-)
