From Tärna’ "Born and raised"

"To have someplace to call home, where one has roots, I think that is important. Absolutely. (Roots) are security in life. If one has a good base, (then) you don’t have to go searching there. It simplifies life. But one shouldn’t let the roots take over. It is tremendously secure(with strong bonds to roots)but it is important to have curiosity about other environments. Yes, roots are fantastically important. There are people, -refugees, but also people who have chosen to move with out the threat of political violence or similar- You can see how important holidays, food and culture are to them... All people have a need to feel their roots. It is something deep and profound with people. Something we all carry with us."
