Foam<\/b><\/p>\n

At the monastery we\u2019d all do our bit collecting the dishes and cutlery, glasses and serving plates after each meal and do the washing up together. We who could stand on our own, it is. A lot of the resident monks and nuns were very old and feeble and often got entangled in their beards and the younger monks and nuns who were the only ones allowed to touch them would patiently perform \u201cthe rite of untangling\u201d which could take hours as it demands 111 lit candles, half a pound of frankincense and the reading of the entire psalter.<\/p>\n

\nwe\u2019re rubber shadows
\nbouncing off each other<\/p>\n

Yes, the nuns had a beard too. \u201cSomething to do with the nearby nuclear power plant\u201d, a very old sister told me and made the sound of the cross; a sort of creaking sound much like that of old floor boards. She pointed to a dark foreboding silhouette in the distance which looked sorta like burnt out coal. \u201cYes, it\u2019s shut down now, but once the Evil One has been given a finger …\u201d. We said 100 Jesus Prayers hoping \u2026<\/p>\n

with the word asparagus
\na doll\u2019s house gets
\nmore complicated<\/p>\n

I digress. It was the washing of dishes, I came from. A couple of the younger monks \u2013 around 95 years old, I\u2019d guess \u2013 would partake as well after each meal and apparently they thought it was the most funny thing they could do and they would use litre after litre of washing up fluid and the kitchen would fill up with foam which eventually would go out the windows and doors and they laughed and they laughed and had a great time. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. It\u2019s bio-degradable and blessed by the Patriarch of Constantinople\u201d, and we\u2019d all use the cover of the foam to tickle whoever we touched and \u2026<\/p>\n

Skum<\/b><\/p>\n

I klosteret ville vi alle tage del i at samle tallerkener og bestik, glas og serveringsfade efter hvert m\u00e5ltid og tage opvasken sammen. Vi, der kunne st\u00e5 oprejst, alts\u00e5. En stor del af de fastboende munke og nonner var meget gamle og skr\u00f8belige og blev ofte viklet ind i sine sk\u00e6g og de yngre munke og nonner, som var de eneste, der havde tilladelse til at r\u00f8re dem, ville t\u00e5lmodigt udf\u00f8re \u201c<\/span>ritualet for udredning\u201d, hvilket kunne tage timer, idet det kr\u00e6ver 111 t\u00e6ndte lys, et halv kilo frankisk r\u00f8gelse og l\u00e6sningen af hele psalteret.<\/p>\n

\ner vi gummiskygger
\nder hopper mod hinanden<\/p>\n

Jo, nonnerne havde et ogs\u00e5 sk\u00e6g. \u201c<\/span>Det har nok noget at g\u00f8re med det n\u00e6rliggende atomkraftv\u00e6rk\u201d, fortalte en meget gammel s\u00f8ster mig og gjorde korsets lyd; en slag knirken som d\u00e9n gamle gulvbr\u00e6dder laver. Hun pegede p\u00e5 en m\u00f8rk og dyster silhuet i det fjerne. Den lignede n\u00e6rmest udbr\u00e6ndt kul. \u201c<\/span>Ja, det er lukket ned nu, men n\u00e5r man f\u00f8rst har rakt Den Onde \u00e9n finger …\u201d. Vi fremsagde 100 Jesusb\u00f8nner og h\u00e5bede \u2026<\/p>\n

med ordet asparges
\nbli\u2019r et dukkehus
\nmere kompliceret<\/p>\n

Jeg kommer bort fra det egentlige. Det var opvasken, jeg kom fra. Et par af de yngre munke \u2013 omkring de 95, vil jeg tro \u2013 ville altid v\u00e6re med efter hvert m\u00e5ltid. \u00d8jensynlig fandt de det uhyre morsomt, og de brugte liter efter liter af opvaskes\u00e6be og k\u00f8kkenet blev fuldt af skum, som f\u00f8r eller siden ogs\u00e5 ville komme ud gennem vinduer og d\u00f8re og de lo og lo og havde det herligt. \u201c<\/span>Slap af, det er biologisk nedbrydeligt s\u00e6be og det er velsignet af Patriarken af Konstantinopel\u201d, og i ly af skummet ville vi kilde enhver vi st\u00f8dte p\u00e5 inde i skummet og \u2026<\/p>\n
