The Finnish Dream

“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb

The Finnish Dream

A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator

  1. I didn’t realize this about Finnish people. They like their space? Wide open, no one in view of their space, space? Thanks for sharing. Learning SO much about neighbors from around the world:) blessings, denise
