how open and wide the sky
Different Pen · 1 pvAs a city-dweller I'm always awed when I'm dropped in the middle of the countryside. I'm amazed by the forest, the fields, the quiet villages that seem completely deserted even though they...
twirling between silver and gold
Different Pen · 26 pvChilly rain, lots of work, hair pulled away from the face. A taste for sugar, tired mornings, trying to get back on track. A motorcycle ride, Matisse...
summer moments, the good ones
Different Pen · 15.08.2021Reveling in summer heat by the glittering sea, sun and salt and blue nailpolish on my bare toes, as my mother naps in the cottage nearby.Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries with cream...
recurring dream #7
Different Pen · 09.08.2021I had that dream again. The one where I go back to work in the Magic Valley, which I sometimes, but not very seriously, daydream about doing. It's almost twenty years since I left now.The dream is always filled with...
assortment of motorcycle people
Different Pen · 08.08.2021Laptop on my lap, rain at my elbow, smudged mascara from last night, woollen socks, a glass of wine on the porch.Last night, friends who arrived on a...
three hours north, three hours east

at a hazy distance from shore
Different Pen · 24.07.2021A rare day in the lap of luxury: a big boat roaring out towards the outer archipelago, a blue sea still as a sheet of glass. An almost deserted island with open horizons in every direction,...
glamour stopped me in the street
Different Pen · 23.07.2021I'm back in the city of my wide-eyed youth. On this very path I walked home after my first day at university, thinking I had taken on something...
for the straightforward pathway had been lost
Different Pen · 03.07.2021I guess it's called middle age. When you realise you're not where you want to be and don't see a way to get there. That you're mediocre at best, and...
when I should have
Different Pen · 25.06.2021This is what today was like: I slept late when I should have been up and working. I cleaned my house when I should have been in the office. I wrote emails in an empty office when I should have been buying strawberries....
where the river flows backwards
Different Pen · 24.06.2021Stepping with caution in a long, black skirt, up and down winding staircases of stone worn smooth, with walls too close and lintels too low....
silk nightdresses and sweaters
Different Pen · 23.06.2021Midsummer is trying to go to sleep with the sun shining in from the northwest. Waking up to too-loud birdsong and not knowing if it's day or night. Too warm in silk nightdresses, shivering...
labyrinth of books, candles and wine bottles
Different Pen · 31.05.2021I read a wonderful book last winter. It has magic doors opening from our world into an underground labyrinth filled with books, candles and wine...
more savouring, less swearing
Different Pen · 30.05.2021The life improvement program I set up for myself after last summer has not been satisfactorily executed.In fact, it's probably fair to say it's a laughable shambles.Tiredness have ruined so...
dying unicorns and such
Different Pen · 15.05.2021What I have today: A dying unicorn, faraway voices, a damp fog and laundry that's not drying, a spicy red candle.
darling books: calamity physics
Different Pen · 10.05.2021One of my favourite books of all time: Marisha Pessl's Special Topics in Calamity Physics.I'm rereading it and wondering which friend I could...
a choir on white wings
Different Pen · 07.05.2021The choir of seagulls is persistent and constant and doesn't even disturb my sleep anymore. Nothing is so omnipresent in this city during spring and summer as that noise, and the sight of...
just wanna find an empty road
Different Pen · 28.04.2021Today I'm dreaming of: taking off in the car, going north to Kalajoki with the sandy dunes, staying in a pretty cabin, eating croissants with wine, exploring cold beaches and miles of blue...
coltsfoot thoughts
Different Pen · 18.04.2021Coltsfoot by the roadside, warm breeze on bare skin. Someone goes by on a bicycle with wheels that do that ticking noise my first real, grown-up bike did when I was eleven and life was glorious. My mother, walking very...
mud and vintage cognac
Different Pen · 06.04.2021Weekend trip in a time of restrictions and partial lockdowns: a trip to another city to hang out in an apartment with friends, play quiz games and drink vintage cognac.We don't see much of...
welcome every migrant bird
Different Pen · 05.04.2021What I do in April: throw open the balcony doors to a turquoise evening, chilly with the fragrance of melting ice, euphoric with the promise of spring and adventure. I listen as seagulls...

Different Pen · 04.04.2021An online conference, sweeping through the whole world in 24 hours. Starting in Sydney, ending in my lonely living room. Women of all ages, beauty and words of comfort. Beautiful daughters, tender and divine and...
spontaneous studies in theology
Different Pen · 06.03.2021Social workers, teachers, pastors and me - subtitler and queen of denim - gather twice a month this winter/spring to discuss a book. We meet in a...
this Disney winter
Different Pen · 17.02.2021I should stop complaining about the Finnish winters. Because this one has been picture-perfect, ridiculous in its idyllic gorgeousness, breathtakingly beautiful, as if Disney had come here and sprinkled magic snowdust...
a companion through the ages
Different Pen · 13.02.2021My friend and I sat in a fast food joint in a bland, suburbian mall, discussing physical therapy and inheritance tax with the dissonance of muzak and screaming kids around us.In our youth,...
blinis and grief
Different Pen · 07.02.2021Winter sun, winter gin. Long walks in snowy woods. A brightening at the horizon. A blini evening with people I love and a dog that tried to pull a sock off me. A repetitive strain injury from too much space opera.And...
blessed, found, loved
Different Pen · 01.02.2021Today's best colours: A cloud of powdery white snow, a green DKNY bottle, a rose-golden sun. I doubted and feared and despaired a lot today. Then I remember that I'm one of the blessed, one...
the office puppy
Different Pen · 22.01.2021My boss in the garment industry understands the importance of good employee care, it must be said. Amenities in the office have escalated from a fruit bowl to a Nespresso machine and now to a PUPPY. Here with mirror...SUOMEN BLOGIT TOP-10
