The Askeladden Complex
The qualities of humility and being "down-to-earth" have been much praised among the Norwegian people. Certainly, to put on airs or pretend to be better than the people from which you came is a thing much discouraged, socially sanctioned by avoidance and "the cold shoulder". Even the King of Norway doesn't put on a big show of bodyguards and barricades, but carries himself as an ordinary man despite his title. But do Norwegian secretly desire to show off their cleverness, skill, or goodness to others in ways that will not compromise their humility?

Uninhibited in the Garden
There are probably things you will do in the garden that you wouldn't dare do anywhere else. Or at least there are things you're more willing to contemplate doing there. Something about the garden seems to free us from our otherwise inhibited selves and allows us to break loose, to experiment - to dare to have fun. And sometimes in doing so you become freer in other parts of our lives as well.
