disquiet

Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating.

Iceland: Scenes from Reykjavík and around

February 8, 2018

Þar sem jökulinn ber við loft hættir landið að vera jarðneskt, en jörðin fær hlutdeild í himninum, þar búa ekki framar neinar sorgir og þessvegna er gleðin ekki nauðsynleg, þar ríkir fegurðin ein, ofar hverri kröfu. — Halldór Laxness, Heimsljós

I spent a couple of weeks in Reykjavík in the summer of 2017, exploring the country during the weekends. My days comprised of coffee, bread, books, programming, conversations, hot dogs, naps, smelling roses, and the occasional exploration.

Looking across at Reykjavík through Reykjavíkurtjörn, not far from Alþingishúsið, or Althing, Iceland's national parliament, also the oldest legislature in the world that still exists.
