Thank you for the letter in the bottle!
Dear Kaisa and Christoffer,
We found your message in a bottle on the shore near Kaivopuisto. We were biking with my husband and son and took off to throw some stones into the sea. The boys discovered the bottle while I was picking some flowers. My husband wanted to open it immediately but I was hesitant cause I thought someone has hidden it as a secret and it was not meant for strangers.
Luckily his curiosity prevailed over my reason. Would be a pity not to read your letter. It’s a wonderful story, both the text and the comics beautifully done! For me this finding is symbolical cause it reached me in the right moment.
After reading the message I was thinking a lot about how we travel physically but also mentally or even spiritually pursuing some goal. It’s about the liberty to go with the flow but also humility before the elements stronger than us, about respect and love to our travel companions, about going not straight forward to our goal but navigating towards it in smooth zigzags, about the ability to wait and and the same time be determined to make one last leap.
Your message was a real treasure to find, thank you!
Have a wonderful journey!
