In Karelian and Finnish oral folklore the world is born from an egg.
The bird species and number of eggs varies depending on time period, poem and interpretations.
Sometimes the bird has been told to be a golden eagle, sometimes a common goldeneye.
No matter what the species, the Bird is anyhow the one to be thankful for.
Many other cultures share this same mythology in different variations.
Where has that respect for Birds gone? Instead every year we force more and more Bird species to confront difficulties to survive among and around us.
The origin of Life has challenged the human mind through ages.
At the same time when your birth to a certain place and time may look like a lucky or unlucky coincidence, it is still also just one part of the great continuation. Life´s shape and length is like one part or role in a huge game of world, where the players are Survival and Death. Some actions and moves you can choose yourself, but not all.
We are just parts of Nature, which is a collection of lives.
We are just tiny parts of it, and we should accept and respect that.
Ignorance and greed will only destroy us.
