We have come prepared,
even for a longer journey,
but we travel not across land alone.

This trail bears the signs
of many a traveler's passing.
Be wary lest you too leave a mark.

In death comes survival.
In survival comes death.

Älä kutsu metsän herran raivoa
yllesi turhan päiten.

This is a life-long struggle for survival.
There's nothing glorious about it. Nor is there hate, nor honour.
Such things have little meaning when the choice is between feeding and death.
And you know that is no choice at all.

This is a fool's errand.
(He insisted I write this down.)

Keneltäkään ei kielletä ruokaa, juomaa, tai suojaa täällä, niin kauan kuin minussa henki vielä kulkee.

To tread the cold path
across wintery waters
and to breathe the cool air.
