We Swim In A Fog

I woke up to a foggy morning in Heponiemi. The nearby Lake Puujärvi was fully out of sight. Once in the water, visibility was still next to nothing. So still, and calm. Such a beautiful way to wake up!

Back home, I look at the picture again. It inevitably reminds me of the breathtakingly beautiful song We Walk In A Fog (sung by the A Cappella group Rajaton), originally written by the poet Eino Leino.
We walk in a fog that forever surrounds us
and hark to the sounds of the moonlit night.
We tread on the treacherous moss that confounds us
and darkness of dusk human heart does blind.

This fog didn't surround us forever though. It's been a bright day, and I feel absolutely refreshed after the (half-speaking, half-silent) weekend with my retreat friends.
