Dawn Ra

 "Dog" is in Finnish "koira", which when one plays with all kinds of words, brings first the interpretation "dawn + Sun god". But having had dogs, the word seems to go in a different way: "kohti" = "toward", I like the long nose of the dog, and Ra, Sun god with the meaning aiming at being a true friend. The dog comes toward the ownef, trying to see what is in her/his mind, and then tries to be a good enough family member. 

But I have heard that a dog is maybe a good choice for a child who seeks to live with wisdom of life according to positive feelings, and maybe like a man of the family was thought in a healthy sense in the lld times, also good for the society and the world.

Another explanation that I have heard is that if one wants to go for a walk, the weather, variation and nature are good for one's life and for one's wisdom of lufe too, and a dog makes frequent walks possible, is a good excuse for them. 

A guess a dog's view to these associations maybe was "we can help in these fine things for example a child who ought to have wisdom, or some human similarly, but we are not the ones expressing them in the human world, we are not at that sphere, more like a handicraft expresses some wisdom of the one having done it instead of it being a thought, a dog's wisdom is more like points to take into account in one's way of life", "except that sometimes dogs and other animals associating with humans have kind of hobby like interests that grow wisdom in single areas of the world like for example an author learns to tell short expressed opinions about one's interests". 

Pets are important as a connection with the nature and the wisdom of the wild nature, so in a sense pets are meant to be a dawn of that wisdom in one's life. 

There are many kinds of dog breeds: make a search "dog breeds" at www.google.com . To some suit other types of pets. All people do not want any pet, not even aquarium fishes. 

The picture is from Savonlinna, but I am originally from Helsinki, lived four years in Espoo and had not lived so long in Savonlinna. I had a "rivitalo" one-storey row like apartment house apartment with an unusually large garden which was very nice, seemed a good idea. I read a gardening magazine "Viherpiha" and tried to learn from it. I also love gardening and farming, arts, motion, practical things to do, variation and the beauty and wisdom of nature. I also like flowers, considering their fragrant beauty somehow benefical for wisdom about wise sensitive atmospheric ways of doing and also good for feelings and having at least some flowers is in my opinion good for feeling well. https://savonlinnasta.blogspot.com/

I have now lived in Leppävaara town area in Espoo at the capital district for over two and a half years.

17th of December 2023   The name of Alaska is problematic in Finnish language since "alas"means "Put it down!". And for me, because of my first name Kaisa, it has meant that I cannot associate with Alaska at all, since people connected with Alaska seem to attack me unendingly. But I did read Jack London's adventure book The Call of the Wild, and have always tried to learn wisdom of the wild nature, and I also thought the sledge dogs in that book to be of arctic spitz type which are considered wise in healthy natural ways of living. So I thought the book also being about growing in wisdom of life when met by obstacles and challenges like the weather, and not about fighting as separate from the need for wisdom of life and high skill level in objectivity, weather skills etc. But the people in Alaska do not seem to rise to that level at all. Instead they seem to sit kndoors a large part of the year and are not of good quality like school teaches. So even if in the book the place was Yukon "niemimaa", a large nose like form of a shore, which sounds like it coukd have been Alaska, that would have misled travellers too much, since humans rarely have wisdom of the nature, and humans staying largely indoors rarely have the wisdom of those whose climate allows them spending time outdoors with the nature too year around. I do not know what would be a good name for Alaska. I think it ought to be something that they presently can rise to, but having a too liw name isn't good either. So I guess that something around whst presently works well in Alaska and brings good lufe, high enough skills, tends to support civiliced values and would somehow mark where and what kinds of people they are and who suits there. But as said I do not know about Alaska. But having send links to my blog or books around the world, I have the impression that Anchorage in Alaska seems to work well, but of course it was jyst an imoression of a library there. 

(If one thinks of the name Anchorage, an anchor seems ok and it seems ok to take in a good way into account how much time one spends indoors, and how much otherwise. But to anchor the coming ages to Alaska does not sound wise, if the people in Alaska aren't that wise by the present time standards. So one should check that the type and amount of influencies goes fairly and according to common sense.) 

25th of February 2024   I saw today in the Facebook.com some separate pictures of kind of wooden hut like interiors, in a way nicely cared for and on the other hand I did not understand what it was about. One of them had a sofa or bed made from an old boat, and so I wondered could Alaska have so much sea theme. If one wondered was it maybe from Canada, it looked peaceful, but a thought of Alaska made it loose such shelteredness like skriik, so there clearly was some extra problem in Alaska. It looked as if it needed slme sturdy stone wall as a shrlter agsinst such, but the room in picture had very sturdy walls, so it seemed that on the south-western side there should be an extra sturdy stone wall piece or something sturdy like that, for example outside ghe hut, and that it ought to be much styrdier than in other directions, since it seemed at least partly a spiritual kind of shelter, but such appeared to cure the problem but I do not know of lufe in Alaska, I do not feel like fitting there myself at all.
