Begegnung Hannamari Ruohonen 

* * *

Hannamari Ruohonen ist eine 42-jährige Illustratorin aus Tampere, Birkaland . Sie studierte für einen Master of Arts an der Universität für Kunst und Industrie in Helsinki.

Hannamari traf einen vollständig schwedischsprachigen Mann aus den Åland-Inseln und beschloss daraufhin, nach Åland zu ziehen. Die Natur und der Åländische Lebensstil zogen sie an.

Heutzutage  sind Hannamaris Kinder zweisprachig. Sie hat einen Job in einer Bibliothek und hat Fernzugriff auf finnische Buchverlage, für die sie als Illustratorin und Autorin arbeitet.

When did it all started to go wrong ?

Was it when we began building weapons ?
Was it when we began conquer continents ?
Was it when we drew the first border lines ?
Or was it when we stopped sharing and started fighting ?

Was it when we invented the money ?
Was it when we decided that some get to command over the others ?
Or was it when we decided that fooling thoese who don’t know better is a victory ?

Was it when we began loving to say that there isn’t enough for everyone ?
Was it when we began loving to take it all ?
Or was it when we began loving tot hink that „me“ is more valuable than „you“ ?

Was it when we decided that helping those we stole from is a waste of resource ?
Was it when we decided that those who aren’t strong enough get to loose ?
Or was it when we knew that our children are dying and did nothing to save them ?

I know when it all started to go wrong.
I know when it happened, and I think you do that too.

Now I wonder when does it all starts to go right ?
