“When people are born and die, when kingdoms rise and fall, the bog remains. Regardless of languages, religions, or the stories humans create, the Finnish bond to the bog endures unshaken. It is an anchor in a stormy world, where the orders, narratives, and cultures of ages fade away.
In the eternity of the bog, on the border between life and death, something greater than us roams. Thousands of years ago, someone carried our future across it; a thousand years from now, someone will carry the remnants of our present. When we are forgotten, the sacredness of the bog will be our memory. It will stand as a reminder of what is eternal and what is an illusion.”
