Some day I'll wish upon a star. Eternal wisdom.



Lovely piece of news: A baby girl was born in Moscow early this week. A very special baby girl.

I wish her wisdom and strength, with best of luck.

Here in Finland she will always have friends - in Helsinki we are quite a big bunch of people who were friends of her late grandmother. And I promise you will have friends closer to your age, too!

You are very welcome to visit us. I hope we will meet some day.

A new baby is an amazing creature. When looking into a baby's eyes I see eternal wisdom and peace: "she has just come from the other side", I was thinking when staring at the face of my baby.

"She must know the meaning of life. She knows everything."

But when we get older we keep forgetting.

Over The Rainbow
(Arlen-Harburg)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
