Jag \u00e5ker v\u00e4sterut mot solnedg\u00e5ngen. Precis i en gammal Amerikansk v\u00e4stern f\u00e4rdas jag fram d\u00e4r p\u00e5 den skumpiga v\u00e4gen. Det \u00e4r h\u00f6gt upp. I H\u00e4lsingland g\u00e5r v\u00e4garna rakt \u00f6ver bergen. Inte fegt runt dom som i andra landskap. Den H\u00e4lsingska vr\u00e5ngheten fanns ocks\u00e5 hos dem som en g\u00e5ng drog v\u00e4garna h\u00e4r. De f\u00f6rbannade bergen. De som \u00e4r s\u00e5 vackra. Utan dem hade jag inte varit kvar. Men det \u00e4r s\u00e5h\u00e4r h\u00f6gt upp man m\u00e5ste vara f\u00f6r att se dem. Se det bl\u00e5nande.<\/p>\n
I dalarna regerar skogen. M\u00f6rkret, det dystra och det eftert\u00e4nksamma. Om man inte \u00e4r n\u00e4ra \u00e4lven. D\u00e4r spritter det. Ljuset dras mot fl\u00f6det och lyser upp det som finns runt den. Se bara p\u00e5 J\u00e4rvs\u00f6, Ovan\u00e5ker. Ser man bergen h\u00e4r uppifr\u00e5n \u00e4r dom som mjuka v\u00e5gor p\u00e5 ett stort hav och man sj\u00e4lv bara en guppande kork p\u00e5 tillf\u00e4lligt bes\u00f6k p\u00e5 v\u00e5gkammen. V\u00e5gor som rullar bort d\u00e4r mot Norge n\u00e5gonstans. Eller i alla fall till J\u00e4mtland eller \u00e4r det H\u00e4rjedalen just h\u00e4r? H\u00e4lsingska gr\u00e4nsen \u00e4r sv\u00e5r v\u00e4sterut. Det kan lika v\u00e4l vara Dalarna som glufsar i sig en kil av landdet just h\u00e4r.<\/p>\n
Men det \u00e4r H\u00e4lsingland som \u00e4r mitt. K\u00e4nner att jag vill d\u00f6 h\u00e4r. Jag som en g\u00e5ng l\u00e4ngtade bort s\u00e5 det v\u00e4rkte. Men nu kan jag med k\u00e4rlek i tanken flyga in i landskapet f\u00f6rbi H\u00f6lick. Havet \u00f6verg\u00e5r i H\u00e4lsingska berg just h\u00e4r. Sen rullar dom in \u00f6ver Dellensj\u00f6arna, Ljusnandalen in i de trollska skogarna och det or\u00f6rda, vildmarken, tillbaks ner mot Voxnadalen och ut mot havet igen. Skrythusen. H\u00e4lsingeg\u00e5rdarna. Torparstugorna. F\u00e4bodvallarna. Folket som st\u00e5r f\u00f6r sina ord. Den H\u00e4lsingska vr\u00e5ngheten. “Det skall nog f:n g\u00e5.” “Vi klarar oss sj\u00e4lv” mentalitet. Industrierna som d\u00f6tt. Folket som har H\u00e5rgas\u00e5ngen i blodet. Som t\u00e4nker stanna h\u00e4r och vinna banyfinaler. H\u00e4lsingsk stolthet.<\/p>\n
Men f\u00f6r en del \u00e4r allt det h\u00e4r bara skog s\u00e5klart. M\u00f6rker. Vr\u00e5nghet. Myrar. Mygg och en massa skr\u00e4mmande rovdjur Det \u00e4r sant ocks\u00e5 s\u00e5klart. Det \u00e4r det vi alla ser ibland. H\u00e4lsingland \u00e4r enkelt att ta in i J\u00e4rvs\u00f6, i Ovan\u00e5ker efter Voxnan och i H\u00f6lick. D\u00e4r \u00e4r landskapet som en vacker kvinna. L\u00e4tt att bli k\u00e4r i. P\u00e5 andra st\u00e4llen \u00e4r det sv\u00e5rare. D\u00e4r m\u00e5ste man s\u00f6ka innanf\u00f6r det man ser p\u00e5 ytan. Lyssna lite mer. Syna lite noggrannare. D\u00e4r tr\u00e4den skymmer sikten f\u00e5r man resa sig \u00f6ver dom f\u00f6r att se. Med en liten anstr\u00e4ngning blir man oftast rikt bel\u00f6nad s\u00e5 som det oftast \u00e4r n\u00e4r man ger sig tid att utforska det icke uppenbara. Det man oftast \u00e4nd\u00e5 m\u00e5ste s\u00f6ka efter ett tag. N\u00e4r det sj\u00e4lvklara \u00e4r f\u00f6r sj\u00e4lvklart. Det riktiga H\u00e4lsingland ligger liksom d\u00e4r under ytan och lurar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
