- from burning wood
Smoke has some fantastic abilities: When one are completely close to the point where the smoke emerge, the most incredible whirls are being formed - beautiful and unforeseeable – but as soon as you move away, the smoke is formed in larger and larger formations, until you on a long distant sees the smoke as clouds that are moving very slowly into new formations.

- Blågrå røg
- fra brændende træ
Røg har nogle fantastiske evner: Når man er helt tæt på det punkt hvor røgen opstår, danner den de utroligste hvirvler, smukke og uforudsigelige, men lige så snart man bevæger sig væk, formes røgen i større og større figurer, indtil man på lang afstand nærmest ser røgen som skyformationer, der ganske langsomt bevæger sig og transformeres ind til nye former.
Vi mennesker har en utrolig evne til at dufte røg, længe før vi ser den. Undertitlen ’Blågrå røg fra brændende træ’ refererer til en oplevelse lidt henne på eftermiddagen, hvor jeg sad i et sommerhus i Nordvestsjælland dybt optaget af at komponerer, da duften af brændt træ nåede mine sanser. Da jeg kikkede ud gennem vinduet så jeg verdenen i et lidt blåligt og gråligt skær, og det var først da jeg kom udenfor, at jeg opdagede at det forunderlige syn blev skabt af røg fra naboens haveaffald, der væltede ind over haven i større og større bølger.
