Bernie Freytag's Blog

As I write this, I'm sitting by myself at a fairly quiet watering hole. There are 3 people in the establishment and one is the bartender. It may sound like a desolate setting, but I assure you this is exactly the place I wish to be. It’s here I will gather my thoughts, because gathering thoughts is what I do. And a quiet place such as this is essential for such a practice.

Bernie’s Quotes

“There is art that can be so beautiful that it makes a teenager too big for her body. There is a sort of happiness so overwhelming that it is almost unbearable, your soul seems to kick its way through your bones. You can see a painting, and for a single moment of your life, just for a single breath, you can forget to be afraid. If you’ve ever experienced that, you know how it feels. If not, there probably isn’t any way to explain it.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
