For two days we have been on the road, or more correct, one day on the ocean, one day on the road. The theme for the days has been "staff development"
Through talks, discussions, group work, RPG, meals, common experiences. Starting with the Coastal Express from Trondheim to Molde (a whole day), meeting up with other colleages in Molde, going back home by buss,
we have strengthened the ties between us.
One of the many challenges and questions we have worked with is
what is most imposrtant, man or nature
The question has many answers.
I have many answers,
and I also have many new questions.
One woman said - humans of course, if I am in Oslo and have to chose between plane and train to get back home I will always chose the plane, to reach home to my kids before bedtime
Then the next one asked - but what if all our traveling by planes destroy the nature for your kids?
One man said - man can not live without nature, but nature can live without man
The next one replied - are you sure, what is nature without man, is there a nature without man
And I can go on like this, asking a question which leads to, not an answer, but a new question.

What has followed me today though is that
we are part of God´s creation, we are in The Creator´s plan, both human and nature,
and as a woman I have a responsibility
to care, and
to love.
