Niin korkea taivas / Sky so high

Above all do not forget your duty to love yourself.
-Søren Kierkegaard, letter to his cousin Hans Peter 1848


Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.
Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being
& walk away from every illness.
I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and
I know of no thought so burdensome that one
cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still,
& the more one sits still, the closer one comes
to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking,
everything will be all right.

-Søren Kierkegaard
