Wisdom Of Life For Christmas Elves

Obs. 25.11.2023   These texts about Christmas elves seem too explosive in their effects if one does not read first the long long text "Skills of Christmas gnomes", see https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2018/09/gnomes-or-more-likelily-doing-things-in.html . These both are referred by tge Finnish word "tonttu". If you read from the beginning, you can see that with the links the Christmas gnome skills text offers a lot, is worth bladdring through for one interested in a Christmas elf like life and wisdom of life. See the product description on the hardcover book page of the very thick first book https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09K1TWF4R/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=



    I wrote 9 books about the skills for living a Christ.as gnome like life in the modern world. That is some 1500 pieces of text, and as much more than what I was prepated to write. Aftdr that the number symbolics would go worse, and that matters when it is a so long text that many do not bother to read it fully well. And because a tired one is more at the mercy of suggestilns by others, and of other circumstancies. 

So I try to continue with the subject "Christmas elves".

A1.   As a child I read in Finnish a British book called "Viheriä noita", in English "Greenwitch". It tells of the last years of an old tradition in some English village, where girls or young women each year dedicatedly make of tree branches a somehow positively magical shape of a woman, the green witch, which then is lowered to the sea and left there, was it in secrecy. That was considered important for life in the district. In my ears it sounds like a way to teach wisdom and wisdom of lufe to the fishes of the sea as the human shape disintegrates to small branches with green leaves in them. The shape of a branch is more natural than jyst a straight line or human made artifacts, and so it is impirtant learning for fishes too. Likewise it is important for young people, both boys and girls, to understand how human deeds are buikd from natural parts, even if the structure of the green witch does not tell it. See M8. like a hero of old times, in my text about the skills of Christmas gnomes. Skills and taldnts usually consist of natural ages old elements of human life lije looking for example and tge sense of atmospheres. But if the girls were originally from some vety different country, they maybe instead og trying to describe structures, added all kinds positive culturally valued British or universally human values to the figure, like good willingly like this bunch of leaves here, and nurturing, healing, teaching young, thknking deeply, wise, with wisdom of lufe, feeling, strong, agile, etc, and so the thing rose to a higher level of wisdom. I guess that the right age would be during the first few years in school, before the children are becoming teenagers, since the things children learn are more like what young fishes can learn. The figure ought to be done in good common sense ways, more guided by society's civiliced understanding, and not so overly personal. 

A2.   Yesterday I found many this kind of videos, quite many of them by "Rainy boy", which look like a clishee of summer cottage (which got spoiled to the level of murders because of unwanted visitors), but the fire seems to refer to warm summer days while the rain looks ordinary soothing rainy day with a quietened walk sheltered from full sight by the shore's trees, being left there to watch to the lake for a while. Both of them in the same picture seems to refer to indoors with a view to rainy street.


A3.   There is some view of a dream job that you should do it always, and eat yourself warm with good food if there is some problem and it aren't as nice as you planned. I do not think so. I think that some things are best done in small pieces when you feel like doing them and only sometimes shen you really wish so a longer session, and certainly not full time labour and in the same subject free time too, thst aren't the same for inspiration, it isn't the same things one needs then to one's life and so the content to life and the style of things done get bored and like without spirit, maybe even opposing the same things. Like handiworks for example, me wanting to sew something isn't enough if I do not have the fascination for the colours and materials, for the possible things done and for that kind of finely tuned yet individually motivated task right now. 

A4.   When I soke up today morning the song Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton was echoing in my mind and I wondered could it be that love comes from loving a certain way of life and in many songs it is maybe some charm taught by the books of the old Japanese poet Basho who wrote about poetry motivated journeys, wrote story like parts and poems in between them about the same subjects, so that the reader can learn to understand poems. There are also his/her paintings with poems in them, really fine.

In my experience learning some wisdom of life from poetry, having an emjoyable sports hobby and wishing for practical life with healthy ages old elements andpossibilities to change jobs, hobbies, where one lives, etc bring a life rich with sensations and happiness. 


A5.   I wrote when I lived in Savonlinna in eastern Finland in North-East Europe: 

"When I was younger at the capital district, I felt that my own view of what is a nice spirit in a home or in clothes drowned under all kinds of practical details. Later in Savonlinna the things available have been more in my taste, but on the other hand I have noticed that at the capital district the way of trying, it's technique was wrong. Instead of tidying small detail one should have attention in the spirit that one aims at having in the room, if how the room would be nice. Drown in that spirit, do things that fit well together with that, see that view richer and as more dominant. Then place few things, or even more if it goes well, according to that spirit, for example some area of the room, or bring clothes of the beginning season's weathers, things needed in it or the like, for one to have some spirit, some element which creates pleasant being and well working spaces. Where it does not work out so well, leave things undone this time, at most taike away some thing with nasty spirit, and leave rest later, to be done according to other factors which create pleasant life to those things which are not well taken care of by for example the window with it's view, plants on the window, curains, things there, light, shadow by it or the like. If some place has poor spirit, you can search for something to replace it with, for example some nice thing, nice hobby tool, something styly found from second hand or from others or from elsewhere ideas of what would be pleasant, charming etc. So from several pieces is the pleasantness of a room formed across time and changng from season to season. 


 For one to understand a person one needs to take into account social perceptions, things done etc. Looked at more widely, different things done, equipment etc need eacvh their own space to function well, and to understand the whole thing one needs to look at the whole room etc. Likewise the different parts of the room have their own good sides and actions suited to them and a good way of using the space there, their own spirit and the characyteristics of that part of the room, it's spirit, life there, in other words pleasantness, liveliness, well working, good moments and successful things done.

10.9.2016   I noticed also that when my window one can at some places see green outdoors ("Oh, there are trees here") and right next to it the wall of an apartment house ("yak, it was only like this"), I noticed that wehn I put the washed clothes drying thing's usual place so that my ordinary road of passing by it goes with beautiful vies and not at all with ugly views, it at once became more pleasant and charming.

10.2.2018   Here views from my window, all from the same window:












25.9.2016    Here the way of arranging the room should not be stiff or acted, at all like a theater scene, at least if one spends a lot of time in the room, since such does not make one feel well, one does not get that rest and refreshment that one needs from home. So how, if from here is a magnifient view but from some other place not, how should one choose places to sit and walk along? Reaching for looks easily falls into the trap of making a theater scene like arrangement to the room, so it isn' t agood thing to hang on, even though it can be an additional charm. Instead "here is nice to wander when there is the view outdoors, so I will place the walking route roughly here and sitting place there where it is good to sit and look out of the window" works well and one makes at the same time the choices according to the view. Generally "nice" is a good rule, since it takes many things into account and varies from situation to another.

* * *

27.9.2016   If there are as many rooms (not including kitchen) as there are people living in teh apartment (maybe half a room for kids) it brings a luxory like feeling instead of the melancholy of too many rooms, a little bit like the trees may bring greenery and magnifient looks.
"


A6.   The music in the radio seeks to be suited to that day, time of the day, weathers, major happenings in the world lately and local radio stations to local charactdristics too. So frlm listening to the radio at the background while one does chores or whatever at home, may teach one a rewarding way tl be with music and a well running nice way to do things and to live one's lufe with wisdlm of life learned from music and fact documents with civiliced view to the world.

A7.   Chris De Burgh : Lady In Red   When one has own wisdom of life according to feelings and it starts to carry one's life and could be helpful to others too, it is happy like a sports hobby with wisdom of life and a shared interest in thr hobby supporting life possibilities. Yet it works just as an individual but with a wish to be social and support the wisdom of life of others too.


A8.   From my blog 21.2.2021

" I tried to compose something about how to reach a singing experience of life by one's viewpoint and approach if one is stuck like I have been for the last year, which appears to resemble the ways of the tropics. And how to sing such state of mind and experience of life with varied atmospheres and colours etc in voice, so that one composes so of the subjects in one's life. But as said, I have not been lately good at all in this, but maybe now that I live in the capitak duistrict it will be easier, since sports and recreation in the nature are more easily available here.

D, E, F, D and A, of which the first and last are quite long andf the others quick, the first three ought to be one bunch while the fourth separate.

22,2,2021  Here is roughly the same as a note:

"

A9.   Each weather has it's own charm and it's own way of living it. It helps to think of how those who are skilled at living such weathers, live them. At least the little singing birds in the near-by trees and the wild plants natural to this climate are good at living them. Of the weathers in Finland I often sesrch for some intense colour or other strong taste of the weather and time of the day to grasp what kind of style and colours of the nature the weather has, and if I search words for how to find such chsracteristics, it reminds me of how people who here like the steppes (in Hungary?) think of the weathers and landscape there.

A10.   Sometimes a curly wind has it's own rythm and one can step accordingly, being fascinated by the nature's phenomenom, like one could dance in the rythm of this song of the autumn wind. 

A11.   From my text Skills of Christmas gnomes learntalents.blogspot.com : 

"   N88.   20th of July 2022   Eino Leino wrote ( my translation) :

"...  See, a human feels sorrow and joy

and a human feels and lives.

But a singer wanders and listens

and in her/his ears kanteles play.


Those play, play days

and nights, those echo from far away, so far away.

And a singer wanders and listens

and a singer hears and - sings. "

Life has it's own rythms, like lifting one's glace when one is aware of one's environment, or running a short distance, or how the feel of rainy weather affects how one comes in. Those rythms are kind of like songs, and having started something natural and pleasant in one's everyday lufe one knows how to continue it, kind of saying yes i was singing this song and the other natural refreshibg songs of my daily life. But it is more like lufe singing than any memorized melody. 

"

The poem is the ending from the poem Yölaulu = Nightsong in Eino Leino's poetry book Laulun lahja = The talent/gift of songs/singing.

A12.   "Last year I gave you my heart, the very next day you gave it away. This year I will give it to someone special" meaning: I will follow my own wisdom of life and my own positive feelings. 


A13.   " Get along and be liked

GET ALONG WITH JUST ABOUT ALL
AND DESERVE WELL THE SOCIAL POSITION THAT YOU HAVE:

"I love Life, happiness and things positive for happy life - like most of the others, like You too!
So I take them as my value in the world at large."
If you can agree with this, without ever neglecting badly this point of view, that's it!

A14.   " You get an increased work efficiency in mathematical kind of work and other work demanding objective thinking or similar skills, via the following:

* recreation in the nature: just spending time in the nature while admiring the beauty of nature

* sports: doing enjoyable physical exercise relaxedly the senses open and according to what feel best for you - as long as it is a varied and demanding real sport

* painting, drawing, etc. - especially structured landscapes with a sensitivity to atmoshperes

* following feelings in healthy natural ways while having a holistic picture of what one feels about each kind of thing

* singing, playing an instrument and learning to compose

* meditation, prayer and healthy natural ways of living

* doing anything that you like emotionally - including a rich social life and sex

In the following I give explanations to how all these help one's working ability in mathematics etc.

For a more detailed explanation see MY BOOK "Hard Rationality of Feelings and Instincts", to which there is the link http://www.angelfire.com/planet/paradisewins/HardRationalityOfFeelings.pdf. (It is a whole book: a large PDF file, so give the page time to load.)

A15.   14th of September 2023   "Safety in government jobs with position
"Dear Sirs,
Something which can delay supreme court nomination is lack of safety
and conflicts about what course the court should take. So what brings
safety to government officials?
Rationally grounded moral makes arrangements understandable also to
the selfish individuals and groups, see
http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2013/04/rationally-grounded-moral.html
Basic view of bureaucrats is that bureaucracy serves to meet people's
needs fairly and according to common sense witha picture of the whole
and civilized wisdom.
Different professions gain safety if they are according to people's
wishes what they with wisdom wish the officials etc to be like. Like
singers should have wisdom of life, police behave according to common
sense and people's views on what kind of moral is ´good to have in a
society, etc.
The Finnish behaviour rule
http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2012/10/live-and-let-others-live.html
solves conflicts between individuals, groups and countries. It also
makes government agreed about and law too, if it is placed above them
according to common sense, wisdom and wisdom of life, with a healthy
spirit.

15. March 2019   About placing the rule "Live and let others live" (i.e. it is ok to be selfish in ways positive for happy life but not to disturb the lives of others except fairly is ok - Think of the trees in a park: each one has it's branches sovereignly but does not disturb the braches of others.) above law. Sin ce the rule is ok but kind of thinking centered and does not allow all possible choices, it might be good to start in a quite (but not overly, I guess) orderly, rationally inclined way, and then let the situation open to this kidn of aloowing view that is positive for happy life.
I do not know about punishments, but could one in one's mind think of different choices, maybe far apart to make it easy in the beginning, and check what the end results affect compared to this rule: what would be the best working society, easy to agree about, giving good life & freedom to all? 

28th of March 2020  The rule "Live and let other live" could help also polices' work if used above law but explained with common sense and with the laws too.
"
From my book Healthily moral, see www.amazon.com/author/khtervola 

A16.   My impression is that the gorillas, apes and other animals, even insects could achieve an intelligent common sense like civiliced cooperation or coexistence with humans, human societies and the whole world, if given the teaching material about reaching fair position in my book 5. of the "Christmas Gnomes Internet Institute", see https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CFK3WNTZ?ref_=dbs_m_mng_wam_calw_tkin_4&storeType=ebooks .

A17.   A copycat version of an original idea of some other culture or of some other type of persons, is usually not at all of the same quality, does not fit to the same kibd of purposes. Like in the news today there was about the wives of famous dictators. In Philippines they had sewn traditional Philippinian dresses for visiting dictators' wives, which sounded like their view of a good way to tell of the wisdom of Philippinian culture to the general public in those other nations. But the Finnish questiln should all sew and give such dresses of their own country tl visiting foreign leaders' wives, has only gone ashtray because we do not have a so good communication via clothes. Likewise the news article sounded like the dictators' wives had taken care of some sides of the societh demanding more social eye and had had some funding to it. So the copycat version of having used such money to luxory sounds like a claim of children with low quality, but it does sometimes happen that a copycat replaces the wise persons already in the beginning of such income, but yet the place for such spending comes from the benefits so gained and not from lues and acting. Yet such happens often when thete are skills, values, situations, cultures, interest groups etc that are difficult for people to estimate, yet how economical or other measurable benefit is born is just straightforward physical labour, thinking, solving problems, making things run smoothly, teaching wisdom and wisdom of lufe and arranging the society well for lufe now and in the futute, and fair play is essential in that. 

A18.   One where people often try to cheat and which creates lots of problems, is how much food they eat, since they many try to pretend wiser than they are in wisdom of life and in their effect in the society. So a thin and domewhat hungry looking being nasty or unfair toward others, pften gets explained by a real or instinvtually attravtive inknown wish to harm by lies or knives or otherwise the serene or flesjy öooking others around to be able to eat them or parts of them. To which wpuld help if they would eat an ordinary dinner of that climate with lots of added oil like tastes good. 
Being cynical causes that one does not try to repair the problems around, so there is lots of dedtructiln which causes a much bigger hunger. Wishing well in the world with the help of civiliced wisdom, common sense, beautiful values and healthy kind of wisdom of lufe makes one need much less food, especially fresh vegetables, and especially if one likes beautiful music. Keeping compa y brings influencies from the other person's views and makes one clumsier, so for the wiser one it increases need of food and lufe's and world's problems a lot. 

A19.   The news told of wolves having killed and wounded sheep somewhere in South-West Finland. There had been 50-60 male sheep on a pasture and the su.mer or growing season drawing towards it's end. The male sheep were worried about are thry needed in the world at all, since they were in an all-male group. Some of them mixed their worry about not having offspring to green plants dying in the autumn, so those who had least possibilities for offspring or some other place for just them looked at the dead and dying plants on the meadow, and died tgemselves, maybe via having felt desperate and someone called the wolves. So tough the winter on life. 
In youtube.com there are lots of angry ram videos from some warm countries. 

A20.   Yesterday I watched the beginning of the video of Arkhangelsk which is a forgotten place near Finland in the northern Russia. The associatiln to the main angel brings influencies of what humans who are called angels are like, I guess that is what the dark technical looking angel figures that one sometimes sees in pictures are about, and how the people in Transsylvania who wish for white angels flying around get Dracula etc, vampires. So it must be difficult to live in such a place. As far as I know it makes Christmas handiworks (mittens?) that have been prayed about too, so that the name suits. And it suits of course religion, but as such it is important to not to make clumsy garden repair work or somehow alter the places where once maybe some wise old person visited from whom they want to learn poetry, religion, etc. This video made me advertise "The Christmas Gnome Interndt Institute" as an angel repair set, like I earluer advertised it to Lis Angeles. 

Here are my old mittens whose style made me think that they have been knitted in Arkangel by some religious person with a thread from too short pieces of sheeps' wool. I used them in Savonlinna and repaired them with woolen threads of different colours.

If arkangel means moral, my book/blog "Healthily moral" could help: healthilymoral.blogspot.com . It is also at the end of my Christmas gnome skills book series i.e. in book 9.

In Finnish arch angel is Arkkienkeli, where "arkki" means either a sheet of paper i.e. a writer, or it means Noah's ship/home full of animal friends of different species. So the upmost angel could be a wise writer with animal friends who teach him/her wisdom and help him/her. 

A21.   The Paradise Islands of Oceania have music that teaches some type of harmony, at least Tahitian music gitted together with my Japanese sports hobby. And they have a music instrument called ukulele which is like a small 4-stringed guitar and which come in different colours that try to teach different well known paradises as skills along the lines of the colour symbolics. But it may be that those do not taste like life, not enough sportiness, enjoying weathers, nature, variations in feelings and states of mind with wisdom of lufe. 

A22.   Of having written 25 years without pay but very valuable things like my objective paradise theory, feelings etc for computers, the thinking course, advices for living the four seasons, over a thousand seemingly good attempts at advices about healing by healthy natural ways of living, and this five years about Christmas gnome like lufe. Of this I have concluded that working life and money does not work like I was told as younger. Yet I think thst if I do something valuable and good willing in the world  yet comfortable and quite easy st ghe level of individual luves, it does not go completely unobserved, I have some place, and it means that also the use of money goes via some more vague logic than engineering. I guess that for a good cause one can have money but not for unwise life chouces. One is often wanted someshere where one's personal likings and strenghts lead one but one does not necessarily know of such places  since relatives etc are not trustworthy enough to have told even if they knew of such, and maybe they were socially too fifferent. So I feel ghat if one lives in a good way from the point of view of working lufe and the good of the world, wisdom of life, etc and does not check diligently how much money one has one may have enough for such a way of lufe, and maybe one could also make handicrafts that way, like seems adviced by the shopkeeper whose products suit your valyes, but not spending blindly and not too much, just trying a little to see how it works out, but if the money just somehow is enough, maybe the handicrafts are even for free or like works out to where each piece is fairly for the good of the world. But I do not know. The money system cannot work engineer like if one working via the i ternet kn the tropics can save all the heating costs and have lots of superfluous money each month without really being such a good influence to the world. 
Sometimes something is just wanted.


A23.   20th of September 2023   Livibg in a build environment of square flat surfaces and straight lines makes one stupid and unhappy, while having nature to look at outside the window makes one much more intelligent and happy, especially if indoors too there are more complex structures like nature decoratipn and handiworks. Ghe same happens to insects which spend their winter inside house's structures, so in building and repairing it would be good to hide pieces of small branches of treen or of sturdy undergrowth and maybe some sturdy small leaf here and there, so that all would stay more intelligent and wise, happier too, both animals and humans. The same applues to building space stations etc. 

A24.   I found many more videos of sofas near a fireplace and trees outside the window. If one would replace the fireplace by a tv or something else nice, maybe music or some hobby or nice coloured clothes or blankets or some nice warm handiwork, the same would be possible in many apartment houses if one likes a view of trees, and maybe somewhat higher up to gain peace and safety. 

A25.   There was one such video that reminded me of making handiworks and having a family the way people seem to live in Lappeenranta in eastern Finland. They seem to enjoy such life and gain lots of position because of it, but are often much too irresponsible and unfair, so it goes much more ashtray then what the idea suggests. Instead of making products for sale, kind of concentrating ln one piece being good enough, one should have a landscape like view of life and aim at a good life for all fairly now and in the future. Fair play is what usually makes things good for life. 

A26.   If there is some good person jnder evil attach without it being so easy to get rid of, it is often that the attackers have a nice reputation in the eyes of some others, so the people get mixed and the attacker is considered helping with wisdom the attacked. Like an intelligent gets attacked by the educated with official position and more experience of life but more unreliable. One with wisdom of life gets attacked by persons with motherly good sides, for example fat, in the eyes of some people elsewhere. Etc. 

A27.   In August or earlier, maybe even in May it was as if on some mental or spiritual side some police had said that it seems marked to the police on some spiritual side that all humans, the human species, also from lives after death, would die in one or two years, in August that was possible after a few days, which now was already a quite long time ago. The ghost of my apricot miniature poodle Banjo said that in such case dogs and all other animals closely associated with humans will die in a few years. I have wondered at it and it seems that many men want to die and do not want children to a world that is not good enough to live in, especially in the lobg run. My opinion is that life after death seems to exist for many, but in principle those wanting to die could die and those wanting to live could continue living. If there are lots of deaths, spiritual kind of sides of the world may matter a lot. Writing about the Skills of Christmas gnomes has brought an impressiln that there is some place for Christmas kind of things, so those may stay in their own realm if one wants such life and wishes well for the world. Likewise thinking of Arkangelsk made me think that there are kind of spiritual places for things like a dog helping relugious people in some affairs involving travelling. And generally kn life I think that it is important that one would live with wisdom of life and do slme nice things too, so that if one is a glimpse of nice life for some far away person, one could live a normal life and have such a nice hobby, even if the times are tough in the world, but that means that one shoukd wish well for life kn the world. 

A28.   I used to have on my window a collectors' one euro coin with as it's theme the famous old Finnish composer Sibelius. "Suomi (=Finland), sauna (the traditional Finnish steam bath to get warm) and Sibelius" is an old motto of Finland. I used to have on my window also green plants, some nice fallen branch, a pebble, maybe some fallen seagul feather and some unused present wrapped candles with one 90 years of Finland's independence and a heraldic lion, and another red one with a Christmas themed picture of a reindeer, and of course curtains on both sides plus a hanging green plant in the middle of the window. 

A29.   From my home in Savonlinna some years ago. 



https://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com/2018/02/pictures-from-my-home.html 

A good spirit somewhere at home means that one likes such things, enjoys them for their own sake, instead of work like achieving poibts in having such even if one oneself does not like them. One also leaves them undisturbed. In the above pictures I had liked the subject of the painting in what comes to one's relationship to the nsture, and I liked the hanging flower pot's shadow thinking that such is beautiful. And my dog was the subject of the picture, if I remember right, it was about him having woken from death a year earlier or something like that. In the second picture spring 2019 I had been composing that spring about the seasons, lookibg out of the window, and the flower somehow reflected that kn style. The third picture is from some earlier year, I just liked to play the keyboard, but having it against the wall was somehow flat since there were no trees or the like in sight while playing. 

A30.   21st of September 2023   Tge Christmas flower in the pictures above was in bloom only for a few days and then over. A week or two earlier I took a picture in the twilight time, when I liked to see somewhat outdoors but have a curtain partly drawn because of sometimes having lights on. It was an atmospheric moment, so I took a picture and it turned out to be a version quite much influenced by having the Kokoomus party in power in Finland, which was quite difficult especially at first, since I had a white dog and the name of Kokoomus has thw associations "collected together" or "fully black" of which the latter seems to refer to a lack of moral or to coffee. 

A31.   As a child I would have liked to become a ruler of the world (see my view of such as an adult https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/01/womens-position-like-that-of-others.html ), or a singer-songwriter superstar, or a famous painter like Albert Edefelt. When Iwas at the first class in school, the mom of one child worked as a some kind of boss at the famous art museum Ateneum in Helsinki and she said that I had a so good quality that my paintings might suit Ateneum while those of most not. When I moved back to the capital distrkct it was still in the air, but I guess not nowadays since I have only slept and eaten too much. When Iwas twelve I once tidied my table (except some high objects including maybe a high black hair spray bottle, which my mother placed at the end of the table near the door and forbid me to touch them at all) with good quality way of trying (since my mom commanded that I ought to try such then), and it somehow made a fuss. My mom took a picture of it and maybe showed it to some Orthodox Christian monks, even though we were atheists, and that is when I first heard of them and have been their afmirer ever since. But after that my attemots at tidying my room have been kind of stopped, hindered badly. When I was 12 tge leader of the school I was in said in frobt of our school class that he had talked with our teachers and they all thought that I was so rational and responsible that the compulsory school was over for me. But also after that I was forced to school, and that year our family visited Japan and Thailand and somehow I got very squeezed after that always. And that year too, was it the same evening my little brother had some crying rage in kitchen with a knife and maybe killed my father who was too allowing toward him. At the age of 12 I also noticed that I had not managed to learn the social skklls enough for politics or the like, so government careers were out of question, and my life started going badly from the point of vieq of wisdom of life, so I concluded that I will not have a career in arts either. 

A32.   When I lived in Espoo before I moved to Savonlinna, I once saw in a shop window in Hakaniemi in Helsinki small statues of horses made of some glass like transparent material which maybe was some type of Russian plastic. Such costed 25 euros and I asked anf got one for Christmas from my boyfriend. In Savonlinna I bought two bigger angel statues made of beton. Having such in one's room looks somehow magnifient but slows down life, but it seems that if one is impressed by the subject one can learn of such that way since statues are fine just with wisdom, and anyway it may help one to learn arts oneself, I do not know. Such with the view of trees can be impressive and good for a high skill level like the elderly making art or writing nationalistically or the like, but it demands ghe basic life of the young too, since otherwise what is the point in making art? In Savonlinna market square there was in the summer someone selling among woodworks finely detailed spirited horse scultures of wood or of something very much like wood. I once bought a small round box of tree bark with a pictyre of two doves at the cover. It had some magic but I had to return it since I had thought of Gaia and not of a marriage. 

Where I now live there is no possibility to place anything on a window, and I have been very sleepy for two and a half years now, but when I moved here I placed some decoration objects on a self.


A33.   This video of Japanese flying squirrels makes me wonder do some nice homes have wild animals living there part of tge time and spending part of the time in the nature. Is the comfortable charm of a home based paftly on allowing and supporting such in wise clean ways, even if we never see the animal? By the big tree I see from the window there seems to be a marking of a flying squirrel kn the tree, but I have never seen such. Over my clothes shelves there is a marking that an eagle sits there often, it is maybe from Latin America and it has marked "kotka" (=an eagle) because this is "Kaisan koti" (= the home of Kaisa), but I have never seen it even though the place is fully in sight in daylight and it is in the same room. Or is it some joke by mice? 

A34.   For recreation outdoors and for sports it is good to use so loose clothes that they do not restrict movements and do not create extra effects like sensations or choices in ways of moving. So one can concentrate on listening to one's body while moving, and also the atmospheres of the nature landscape around are easier to notice. 

A35.   If the social environment is with too stuck views, you maybe should change your area of life to a more relaxed wiser free time like. If there is no such environment or maybe in any cade it might help if the working place's dining hall's tables had a flower pot or the like for making places nicer, likewise other usually valued nice things of more pleasant areas of lufe like nice curtains, free time subjects, varied magazines or newspapers to read and discuss, etc. 

A36.   A video of a fine performance of a Russian(?) circus, only riding & riding acrobatics. I used to (autumn 2010 - spring 2011) train my white spitz and my light brown (apricot) poodle for circus, but we never got the performance ready. In training for circus it is fine that one can try one's best and learn new skills in a way that is harmless and positive in the world. In training it is important that one does things in a good quality way and is very motivated, so that one is kind of turned toward developing skills in harmony with others. It is also very important that one wishes well for the world, since then one observes how complex wholes can work well in all places at the same time, which is good for complex skills, and it also makes the skilled individuals fit as parts of the whole world. In such beautiful civiliced values and wisdom of life are important: what to invest in, what makes complex wholes work well. Beautiful music with it's wisdom of life offers one side of such skills, of harmony with happiness, which is also one way a circus performance can look good. That is good for developing skills as a group since each one can do things in one's own way but with the aim toward hogher skills, which is also one of the major reasons why circus interests the audience. 
My dogs continued by reading the local newspaper which was an arts oriented place with summer cottages in the surrounding countryside and the art happening was high culture and so oriented toward doing something great in the world from the point of view of wisdom of life with feelings and offering the fine Finnish or more widely civiliced cultural inheritage for the younger generations so as to safeguard good life for all fairly in the future too. 

A37.   22nd of September 2023   Of making some circus like performance, it is born of what is natural for each of the performers and what is good for the world. First one practices jyst ordinary hobby like skills that one is interested in, like as a child having a colourful gummiball called "superball" which bounces just finely in varied ways and is colourful and somewhat transparent to look at, so it varies according to how light hits it. Then one has ordinary hobbies which often have many interesting sides. Especially learning to play piano/keyboard or some other music instrument via going to piano lessons and practising, teaches how life can have many sides and what kind of observation ability teaches wisdom of life that is good for happiness in an ages old way and good for skills. Likewise sports hobbies can have many sides, since ways of living are reflected in ways of keeping the body in ways suited to those areas of life. Also admiring the magnifient beauty of nature and reading teach some wider understanding that is good for skills. When one has such a background and wants some one type of performance, it is born of what is natural and fascinating as skills for oneself, like for someone throwing hulahula rings to the air would go nicely, whike someone else would be good with safety precautions and a dare, figuring out something like a jump through a burning ring.
