frozen lake around tampere in Finland

The first thing that I can
remember is when I got a sparkler from
my mother on New Year's Eve.
The sky was full of
rockets and fireworks
that exploded and sparked.
That was loud.
But I wasn't afraid.
I just held my sparkler up
to the dark sky...
... and shook it like crazy.
I shook it so hard,
so incredibly hard, as hard as I
could. And even harder.
Until I couldn't any more and on and
on. Senseless and harder and harder.
And I was small.
And so was the sparkler.
But I was part of the biggest
and most incredible thing...
I've ever seen.
The greatest and biggest ever,
and I was there. Without me knowing
it, without me knowing anything.
I think, I've never done anything
like that in my life again.
So hard and uncompromisingly
and totally.
I think, I never experienced
anything in my life again,
that was so big and so gigantic.
What time is it, by the way?
