Translating ancient wisdom poems today. This one a scandinavian monk’s-about finding The Sea and how it helped him find meaning in taking out the trash-or how knowing the sea teaches us the value of simple daily activities!

we sailed
until
we knew
the sea
then stopped,
came home
and took out
the trash.

in Icelandic it sounds more wise, i assure you!

við sigldum
þar til
við vissum
hafið
hætti svo,
kom heim
og tók út
ruslið.
