Eternal sun

Eternal sun

Keskiyönauringon Aika is for us the definitive end of our long yearning for the light. Every living thing burgeons with life and stretches up proudly towards the warmth-spreading sun. We are experiencing a surreal time; a time when the difference between night and day can no longer be discerned; a time when the sun spreads its warming rays around the clock.

It is as if both we and Nature instinctively understand how little time there is to enjoy the blessing sun; a time for us to do all we can, in those brief few weeks, to absorb enough energy to last us through the rest of the year. While time, itself, stands still for a moment, as if it has ceased to exist.

The experience of opening a packed “lunch” at two in the morning, and seeing that the only thing obscuring the sun is one of the sixty surrounding peaks is almost unbelievable, definitely indescribable. Nature is ecstatic, and we with her, during Keskiyönauringon Aika.
