What is less or more than a touch?
- Walt Whitman


Stella: Human touch. Our first form of communication. Safety, security, comfort, all in the gentle caress of a finger. Or at the brush of lips in a soft cheek. It connects us when we're happy... bolsters us in times of fear... excites us in times of passion... and love.

Torvi: What happened to you, Lagertha?
Lagertha: I almost died but was reborn.
Torvi: You were between life and death. What did that teach you?
Lagertha: The only thing that I've learned is that life is about suffering. There is no escape from it. That's the truth. What's important is how we deal with suffering, how we deal with the truth.

Now that your life nears its end
when you turn back what you see

new, but the same.

Bishop Heahmund: You saved my life. Thank you.
Lagertha: But if I had not spared your life, you would now be in heaven. I believe you are a Christian priest? Isn't that where you would prefer to be?
Bishop Heahmund: I am a priest. But I am also a man. I love God. But I also love life.
Lagertha: And what is it about life that you love so much?
Bishop Heahmund: Its joy. Its pain.
Lagertha: And do you love human beings?
Bishop Heahmund: Our Lord loved all human beings. His love was agape, not eros. A great embracing love.
Lagertha: And do you have that same embracing love, priest? Do you love men and women just the same?
Bishop Heahmund: I am not our Lord. Agape is too hard for me. I love women, not just spiritually.
Lagertha: We have no problems loving the spirit and the flesh. Our gods encourage it.
Bishop Heahmund: Then you have no guilt? No remorse?
Lagertha: No.
Bishop Heahmund: I envy you. I have spent many years of my life living sinfully. Even in my thoughts.
Lagertha: You're funny. Your thoughts are your thoughts. But if you do terrible things, that is different.

What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: who is to blame?

Rollo: Being alive is nothing. It doesn't matter what I do. Ragnar is my father, he is my mother, he is Lagertha. He is Siggy. He is everything I cannot do. Everything I cannot be. I love him. He is my brother. He's taken me back. But I am so angry! Why am I still so angry? You tell me, wise one. 

Seer: Hmm.

Rollo: Or I will tell you! It is because I am useless, feckless, hollowed-out by failed ambitions, by failed loves. Nothing good can ever come of my life now.

Seer: [laughs]

Rollo: What is there to laugh about?

Seer: Oh, Rollo, if you truly knew what the gods have in store for you, you would go down now and dance naked on the beach.

BREAKAGE
by Mary Oliver

I go down to the edge of the sea.
How everything shines in the morning light!
The cusp of the whelk,
the broken cupboard of the clam,
the opened, blue mussels,
moon snails, pale pink and barnacle scarred –
and nohing at all whole or shut, but tattered, split,
dropped by the gulls onto the gray rocks and all the moisture gone.
It's like a schoolhouse
of little words,
thousands of words.
First you figure out what each one means by itself,
the jingle, the periwinkle, the scallop
full of moonlight.

Then you begin, slowly, to read the whole story.
.

Rollo: I too loved someone in the same way once. I sat among the reeds, waiting and waiting for my love. I prized that woman as much as my own life. Lot of good it did to me.

Ragnar: And what did you get from sitting in the reeds, but a wet arse.

Torstein: [laughs]

Floki: I would say, let no man mock another over what touches many men. Time and again the wise are fettered by beauty. They ache with love-longing. Lucky are the fools like you, Torstein, who remain unmoved and free.

Torstein: [laughs]

Athelstan: Help me, Lord. Who are these gods who haunt my nights and wreck my peace? Odin, Thor, Freyr. You taught us not to worship false gods, but I have seen them. I have seen Thor in the sky. I have seen the sparks from his anvil. I felt the sea heave with his anger. Why is this false? Things I've seen with my own eyes.
