« La Nature n’est pas une aveugle puissance : C’est un art qui se cache à l’humaine ignorance. Tout ce qui paraît hasard est l’effet d’un dessein qui dérobe à tes yeux son principe et sa fin. Tout ce qui dans l’univers te révolte et te blesse, forme un parfait accord qui passe ta sagesse. Tout désordre apparent est un ordre réel, tout mal particulier est un bien universel. Et bravant de tes sens l’orgueilleuse imposture conclut que tout est bien dans toute la Nature. »

Hello. I'm an elfling.
I like to sing, think, write, take photographs, ask deep questions, feel the smell of spring growth, summer warmth and autumn leaves, roll around in fresh snow and speak with trees. 
I come from Estonia (and the weird language of some songs is Estonian). Remember the elven tongue of Tolkien's books? He constructed it on the base of Karelian, a fellow Finno-Ugric language and quite close to both Finnish and Estonian.
You can find more stuff on my website www.haldjas.org, as well as most of the song lyrics and English translations to the Estonian ones :)

p.s. 'haldjas' means 'elf' of 'nature spirit' in Estonian... ^_^
