Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!

*An adaptation of the Footnote to HOWL by Allen Ginsberg*

The fjord is holy! The sky is holy! The feet are holy! The air is holy! The Kemps and rain and snow and whiskey holy!

Everything is holy! We are all four holy! The map is holy! Every day was an eternity! We were all angels!

The snake's as holy as the muckox!

The bearded smoking man is holy as we our souls are holy!

The backpack is holy the sleeping bag holy the voice is holy the conversations holy the podcast is holy!

Holy Weston Holy Sebastian Holy Robbi Holy Lisa Holy busdriver holy high schoolers holy the unknown souls written in logbooks and suffering animals beneath our feet holy the wizards and witches we spoke of!

Holy my father in the hospital! Holy the wombs of the women who bore us!

Holy the loud yodeling! Holy the trompings of ear-popping silence! Holy the like-minded air breathing hikers energy & muscle & thumbs!

Holy the solitudes of mountain tops and sea shores and white snow! Holy the cabins filled with comforts! Holy the raging rivers of clear cold water under moss!

Holy the lone thought! Holy the broad basis of friendship! Holy the ice cold bathings and pot bellied fires! Who walks Norway IS Norway!

Holy Oslo Holy Oppdal Holy Kristiansund & Aure Holy Tronheim Holy Eidsvoll Holy Boston Holy Milwaukee!

Holy shoes in motion holy motion in shoes the bringers of place the places they bring us north in love north in love north!

Holy the trees holy the swamps holy the blessed red screaming "T"'s holy the hard dreaming holy the never setting sun holy the toilet!

Holy laughter! Adventure! Innocence! Growth! Holy! Ours! Bodies! Suffering! Hot dogs!

Holy the neverending extra breathtaking mysterious wonder of the fjord!
