those, talking against annihilation…
it was a remarkable day in spring 1985, when two remarkable people met in the vienna concert hall. 2000 people in the room, and thousands of austrians at home were listening as psychologist erwin ringel and writer erich fried read and discussed about poetry, psychology and peace. allthough fried died in [...]
what a wonderful world
it’s been a long time since I’ve heard eva cassidy’s interpretation of “what a wonderful world”, she died in 1996 and the recording was made only a couple of weeks prior to her cancer-caused dead. her voice is strong and clear and through the darkness she reaches out…. I hear babies crying, [...]

The old man and the sea.
I had to read it again. I was out there on the sea with him, worrying about where the current of the ocean and life will take me. I was waiting, waiting, waiting. Einstein was right, god doesn’t play dice. We just don’t notice him being there, whenever [...]
Above all others we’ll fly
Envy is one of the things I truly despise. Whatever I do in my life, I want to be judged for what I do, my actions, my thoughts, not for where I come from or how old I am. I just keep asking myself if anyone ever has the right to [...]
You hear the voices telling you not to go
Sanna sent me the pictures we took during the last weeks in Finland. There’s a couple of them from the ferry between Hankko and Rostock too. I remember leaving port, staring out to the sea and silently waving good bye to my life up there in the [...]
When you are with me, I’m free, I’m careless, I believe
When I left home yesterday night I wished I could see the sun rise once again (normally I tend to get really tired around 2 am when going out), suprisingly I was so excited about it, I made it, drove out to the lake, sat [...]
But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for
I had my first ever first-page headline at the paper where I am working now. I am proud but the strongest feeling is thankfulness. I am so thankful to all the people that gave and give me the confidence to be able to do what [...]
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which us bigger, even it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn, that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Henry Ford ( 1863-1947)

Northern lights.
Just checked the weather up there in Jyväskylä, and suddenly I started missing that place so big time, Sanna, Mikko, Ari & the rest of our bunch, it’s weird, I guess I just figured what it actually meant to leave.
I believe.

Who will stop the rain?
It’s been raining for a couple of days now, in Finland I would have gone nuts, sitting inside, bound to doing absolutely nothing. Here I barely notice it. I started writing small articles for a regional newspaper published in my hometown and it’s been some time, since I’ve felt this feeling, [...]
World’s apart.
It’s been in 10 years since I had last been to the town where my dad works (about an hour away form Klagenfurt), he’s got a small house there, in case he decides to stay overnight. and skip the drive home. Weird enough, but I had never been to his working place before, [...]
