In #Finland, the turn of the year brought a proper winter. We woke up to an incredibly beautiful and quiet morning with -20 °C. (Link to my blog post🫶🏼)

When nature speaks, do we still hear? Reflections on our connection to the earth. Thoughts on how modern humans’ connection to nature has become petrified and left behind. 🗿🌳

Our hike to the high, wild island brought us close to the forces of nature — the very place where someone passed away back in the ’70s. Nature is beautiful and powerful, but also unpredictable. ⛰️🕊️

As our laughter faded into the distance, the bog returned to silence. The peat beneath the moss sighed and slowly began to heal the traces of our steps—as a land itself had paused to listen our wild play.🌿🩷

Through the Looking Glass

When I was a kid, I so badly wanted to go to Wonderland.
Now I know I don’t have to go anywhere to be who I am or do what I want.
The magic was always here.🌿
