Today my native Finland is celebrating it’s independence day. While I’m not taking part in any major celebrations today, it made me think how privileged I am to have lived in an environment of peace all my life. And even if my generation in Europe has enjoyed peace, I know many people for whom this hasn’t been the case.  So today is a good day to take a moment to think about this and to send these warm thoughts around the world.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”
