Today I visited an artist that lives near here, Leena Valkeapaa and her husband Oula. It was an amazing day, one of those days when you think about why do you stay some much time far away from your family and friends and you have the answer right there. Beside the very nice way of receiving someone, they also have special way of discussing themes that are new for me in this context. During our discussion it was interesting to understand how the idea of interval or rest or even extended time (if we compare to the time in big cities) is not only an abstract idea, but something very concrete in this context. I believe it was a very important conversation, that I´ll not reproduce entirely here, since you have to come here to understand what we were talking about... I thank Erich Berger for everything he has done until now, specially having the idea to present us.
