Norwegian Independence Day. And 200th anniversary. After the Black Plague in 1349 We fell under Denmark. 1814 there were many enough of Us to start anew. The Constitution was written a Fifteen minute drive from Here. The heart of the country. And Here I sit. Outside. Shirt on the Ironing board. Sun in the face. So much green it's an ocean of fields And foliage. Under my bare feet I Feel the strong, steady Pulse of the Land. Like that of a Mother's to an unborn. *Closest. Closest. Closest. Closest. Closest.   Closest.*   Happy Birthday, Mother.   I'm here.
