Little Nanook's Diary

Dear diary,

Today, for the first time in a long time, i wore my nightgown all day long. Because it rained a lot last night and kept my little eyes open by the windowstill. My sleepy mind travelled to Greenland on cotton clouds. I jumped on a melting iceberg and met a sad polar bear sailing away from home. Lonely Nanook would make my heart cry, waiting for a sailor to rescue us, waiting for the cold, but they'll never come back.

"Lay on your back Noura." Says the Bear
"Lay on your back, and watch for the Perseids. Let them grab your heart, Noura. Let them take us to Pluto, where all the abandonned souls meet. And if you cry, Noura, if you cry, you will turn into a falling star."


Then the north wind blew on my window, calling winter and foggy mornings, i will hide under my scarf and hide my hands in my pockets, hold my little treasures, little nanook, thimble and chestnut.
