Ro

Ro is the Danish and Norwegian word for stillness. A quiet hour, a child by a window, a parent who does not fill the silence.

Matglede is the Norwegian and Swedish word for the pleasure of food. Not nutrition, not fuel. The smell of bread before it is cut. A child tasting the soup before it is served.

Hygge is the Danish and Norwegian word for warmth at the table, candles before dinner, a room where nobody checks their phone. A note on the warmth that does not require an occasion.
