"I think over again
My small adventures
My fears
Those small ones that seemed so big
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach
And yet there is only one great thing
The only thing
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world."
Abridged version of anon. Eskimo Poem

The piece is dedicated to my mother, Viveca.
