jan Lapale o! sina en mi li jan poka pi nasin sewi! mi kin li jan pi nasin Puta en jan pi nasin Asatu (Asatru kepeken toki Inli).
len pi jan sewi Inta (Indra's net) li sona suli li pona tawa mi. taso jan sewi Inta li jan Towa kin! (Indra == Thor!) '
Buddhism and Asatru make for a good combination because Buddhism has good things to say about how to relate to the sentient world and Asatru at times feels like it's a lightly evolved version of animism has good things to say about how to relate to the inanimate world.
ni li musi tawa mi:
nasin Puta la telo nasa li ike. jan li moku e telo nasa la jan li pakala e nasin (pi) nanpa luka. (My memory is fuzzy about how I dealt with these in the past. Seems like they need a separator because nanpa isn't in a grammatical category of it's own.)
taso nasin Asatu la telo nasa li kepeken telo nasa pi pipi pi telo suwi.
nasin Puta la jan pi nasin ni li moku e telo pi lape ala! ijo ni li ante e insa lawa sama telo nasa. taso ni li ante kin. (not sure how to express "is opposite")
tenpo pini la mi pilin e ni: kon wawa li lon ala. jan sewi en jan sewi mute li lon ala. tenpo ni la mi pilin e ni: kon wawa li lon. taso kon wawa li lon lawa insa taso.
lon ma la jan Potisapa en jan Puta li jo ala e wawa li lon ala kin. taso lon lawa insa lon lawa insa pi kulupu ale la jan Pitasapa en jan Puta en jan Towa li lon li jo e wawa.
(Hint's for translating-- Asatru and Buddhism are a good mix, Buddhism has things to say about dealing with the sentient world, Asatru has things to say about the insentient world (nature and all). I also think it's interesting that the Asatru drink mead and how that booze is a against the rules in Buddhism, but another mind altering substance, caffeine is okay. And unlike people who can believe six impossible things before breakfast, I can't take a real god or gods, or souls or magic seriously, but the idea that the exist in our minds and in the collective conscious and have magical powers there-- that actually is rather plausible.)
