Mother of Lemminkäinen

 Lemminkäinen is a young man in Kalevala, a soldier. And of him is known that he died and his mother tried to wake him up with different wise means. So since there is the tradition of the young men going to the military service and fighting in war when needed, what if a boy is not so skilled and wise, what if one's child seems to die in a war if there ever comes a war? How to try to cure the situation? There is a song about the subject, ghe lyrics telling of a storm in the sea while the bay is quiet and peaceful. The message is that one has to live one's lufe in wise ages old ways, learn weather skills, get motiln, learn healthy basic skills in life. Then one can do better in life. If one just lazies out of doing anything healthy basic kind, one does not learn lufe skills, and so one is much weaker in war. But wisdom is also a wise good oeaceful perspective and that is good to have always along, also in the middle of action. 


Here is a video of a painting about how the mother of Lemminkäinen tried to wake him from death. My guess is healthy natural life in healthy natural ways, with the world at large also wished well for, with such natural motivation too. What is more alive, what kinds of things, beauty of nature, religious sensitivity, wishing well for the world, living in a healthy way working for the good of the world in beautiful alive healthy kind of ways, beautiful music. What makes burdens smaller?
