What does "varhet" mean?

Varhet is an old Norwegian word, meaning "active awareness" – being attentive, on guard, sensitive to the smallest of changes in perception.

A wolf is "vàr".

A good English word would be "vigilance", but "varhet" is an even deeper, more sensitive, creative and silent state: It's amness.

You are, in a sense, pure varhet.
