the first runo in english:
--------
the destination
---------
the heaven is pouring rain
on the dying fires of the hell
it is cold to wait
on the windy gates of the death
--
in finnish:
------
melkein perillä
-------
taivaalta lankeavat sateet
sammuttaa helvetin tulet
kuoleman tuulisilla porteilla
tulee kylmä
----
----
the second runo:
in finnish:
-----------
Matkalla
------------
vihdoinkin
olen matkalla Pihtiputaalle
siellä minua odottaa
räntäsade ja pellon reunassa mätänevä lato
--
in english
-------------
On the road
-------------
finally
i'm travelling to Pihtipudas
there a rotten barn
on abandoned fields

It is funny that you say that 'it's a nice thought'...
But I think that it is the way it goes. When you get older all your feelings, good and bad will get milder, the rain will kill the fires. I don't know it well it is just speculation. What do you think?
Yes we do become milder and contemplative but also better planners (sometimes). We beauty where we wouldn't have done when younger and fear when we'd have been oblivious to it a few years back.
All in all Shit Happens then Evolves. SOme things we can change others give us heart attacks trying when 'logic' (I'll google that word later) would say drop it and don't waste your time.
For many years now I have believed that "CHance favours the prepared Mind, whilst ASsumption is the mother of all fuck_ups".
Good post by the way. "Press send and /r it please FRed(tm)."
