Last week I was reminded of how many of my ancestors actually lived in Finland (here). Then the next day I decided to order To the Ends of the Earth: Scotland's Global Diaspora (read about that here).
Before I finalized my order, I spent some time looking through my wish lists to see if there was anything else I wanted. Well, they are actually more like virtual collections of books, movies or cds I that sound like something I might like to read, watch or listen to someday.
About five years ago, I heard a piece on NPR about Värttina, a Finnish folk group, and their new album Miero. When I found it in my wish list this past week, for a bargain price, I added it to the order. It arrived on Friday and I really like it. I don't understand it, but I like it.
Did I trip across this album at a great price, by this Finnish group, at this particular time by coincidence? Or is it Fate? You decide...
