Happiness, ways of doing and living environment


"A stick there catching fire
shines for a moment, gets extinguished in the river.
Love dies also sometimes too,
only a memory is left in life's handiwork."
says a song.
I was left pondering that experiencing so rtongly and wit so healthy spirit life is rich and happy, somehow full. But it has the work of a log floater on a river with the nature as it's environment, natural physical work, company, meaningfullness from the point of view of lives in practise, demanding skill but not with a forced rythm. Earlier I used to think that such is born only countryside or at a summer cottage, maybe wandering ina forest trip. But after I have moved to live in a counryside town, I have gotten the impression that a farmer is somehow melancholic and in town it is somehow full, the antuer too present and practical professions as people's jobs. Could it be that one cannot reach the ideal fully countryside but somewhere where there is both nature and humand and lots of things to do? It is important for the things done to have anatural rythm and such asks for both a natural work and possibilities for choices. The feeling of fullness connects with fractureless wholes and to being according to the human nature, which demands among other tyings action with healthy spirit, meaningful things to do for each one inone's own ways, not acting one's way but isntead in ways that work out well for oneself, according to one's motivation and one's dreams, in ways that one likes and not for acting out. It is essential to reach the phenomena in life in their natural basic form that touches the human nature, but it maybe isn't when driving a tractor but instead in cooperation work of a group, by grandparents, on a summer cottage, on a wooden one-family house, in hobbies, in connection with motiuon and nature. A pet seems tocultivate these like a collector, a wild animal finds them fromone's own life inpractise. It has often been nice in work if one does in practise something nice and then work or civilized ways or some other outside factor like for example summer or nature or the good feeling brought by motion and healthy ways of living fills them to a whole somehow finely. And that life or that day is not left there but continues onwards like a twinding path, the view is not restricted but instead possibilities in life increase and skills to a lot. But that it would demand more people, more things to do, nature, motion, meaningfullness.



On a summer cottage the things done are often more pleasant than in town. If one for example brushes the cottage's floor to smallen the numder of pine needles on the ground there, the needless are beautiful, varied, quite unlike town's trashes and dirt. But I used to have a floor with a beautifult hin woolen layer of pine on top of itin town, and it wa sreally impressive looking, and it was nice to brush and keep clean, not at all as work like as cleaning a plastic floor. Are many things in town, like cleaning for example, adjusted wrong way so that they are a burden upon people. If one would adjust some other way, for example the putting thinsg nicely at home, and some things in the environemnt like a beautiful wooden floor, pleasantly, would things in towns be lighter to bear and life better? What one should change and how? Is it a question of the place one lives in? Here in Savonlinna town people know practical things well and fine style well, but in teh capital people were better with healthy ways of living and freedom."

Buddhist enlightenment via European eyes

"In Buddhism people search for lasting happiness and masterful skill from widening one's awareness. Better observation ability is clearly beneficial for skills, especially when it is with wisdom of life. The senses and the healthy basic current of life, healthy ages old ways of living followed with healthy spirit bring happiness. That is not the style of how asians describe enlightened ones, but it seems to be the healthy basic current of especially Finnish life from which the happiness of enlightened ones too comes from. Some part of the happiness of an enlightened one comes from him/her thinking in civilized ways and with wisdom, where the style does not copy from criminals, army like style, boys, miltary service men, people too proud of their work, people wishing for unhealthily much position or even the ordinary style of civilized thought, but - not acting but across time via better quality - the characteristics recommended by religions, which also some parts of arts seek to communicate. So some part of happiness is not being stuck in failures and poor approaches but instead uses civilized wisdom and instead of grasping without proper reasons, one wi´th a wide, natural, compassionate, with wisdom of life, sensitive, with healthy spirit, emphasizing ages old features and building based on the human nature, with such attention and by taking part in the flow of life, with the skill of compassion and taking part in life as one among many one is compassionate with happenings, motivation, well functuioning, living together in harmony, the functioning of a society, humans' ages old nature and with beautiful values and ideals etc ."

Better movements for cows

(I am from town but) When I trained my dogs for circus (http://lukevatkoirat.blogspot.fi), I learned that things like style are best taught very freely, like letting an insect or a bird fly to air from one's palm, like a miracle, fracturelessly. Give the animal an idea, for example that the atmosphere of pine branches teachins good basic mood for for example moving and for skills at large, and let the animal move freely, insightfully, free and relaxed like one on a holiday, to follow the idea just so long as it naturally does, or however it wanders like an escaped air balloon, completely on it's own ways, in it's own rythms and own times, it's natural routes. One can praise it in the beginning or in the middle (later too if one does not command but just is friendly and keeps company) and maybe give a new idea: the cow can herself with her skills, with her insight lift the skill level which is along the atmosphere of meadow flowers, propably cows knwo based on such, and they are summer like and nice and cows propably are interested in them and that is why cows propably know better thinsg connected with them. So the basic skill level is from teh green parts of pine's branches and in addition there is higher skill level's harmony's, finetunedness's and feelings' characteristics of rising effect on skills via the insight brought by meadow flowers."

American indian horse from Finland in North-East Europe


"This is a some kind of clishee of the harmonious cooperation of a horse and a rider. I cannot resist teh temptation of trying if I could get it to work, taught to those who like horses. Here are only elements from which to build it.
The child sits toos tiffly in the saddle, because she herself is commanded with too much valuing of school. One should allow free time and doing things in one's own ways and listeening to feelings and sensations, room for them. One can learn sports talents from my advices at http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html and
http://happinesstipsblog.blogspot.fi/2015/05/meditation.html .
In life one should pay attention to how moods and ways of doing affect how well things done go. And to what kind of things one can build upon good well working ways to do and good moods. Then when one rides one should give room for both oneself and for horse's movements from the point of view of sportiness and for it's good ways of doing and positive moods in connection with riding, and in cooperation attention and room for social sensations, and in one's own movements for experiencing strngly the senses and for good ways of doing.
The horse communicates largely via gesture language, for example thoughts via facial expressions and with one's being, which one can understand via the sense of atmospheres like a piece of art that changes from moment to moment. Usually animals communicate by ways of doing and by intervals of ways of life, and the one talking with an animal should ponder what do I notice clearly with this way of doing that the animal was just using, by living and doing with this way of living, what does come to my mind using those. That is the message of the animal. Then when doing so and living so one should allow room for variations in ways of doing and in styles and ways of living: use them when they seem good for some use or when it is nice to morally try them in something, especially if a friendly animal has just used them. So one learns a lot  of new things and the communication with the horse one rides rises to a new level."

About kalevala

"I bought Kalevala as a book to myself and read some of the beginning. In the competition singing of Väinämöinen and Joukahainen I was surprised to notice that Joukahainen did not lack skills so much, but instead Väinämöinen sang him to be things like the glow of the nature, to the marks of great skill in the nature.
   "Hat from the head of the man he sang
   to be an erect front edge of a cloud;
   he sang mittens from his hands
   to be leaves on the cover of pond's water,
   from that misty blue
   to be clouds in the sky,
   from his belt a fascination of a new wife
   to be stars scattered in the sky."
So I was left to ponder, if I as a girl thought when reading kalevala that that is what can happen with great skill: one loses position, propably via losing communication connection when one no longer speaks the language of men with more soldier like style. That I would take care to not to fall myself into that pitfall. But at the same time I thought that I could nearly reach that high, to that style in achievements. Now I think that it is like having met a bird: with it's song it makes forests beautifult o wander in, green, there is much soldier like wisdom in it's voice. 
 But so, how did I think I could reach so high skill and quality of life, like the reddish glow of the grassas in a forest etc. One would have a healthy way fo living or a healthy touch of one's own which would cure the way of life healthy again, to ages old. In every thing one would see the parts of healthy way of life which are as an idea in it, and so the deed when sees alike as others' deeds would be healthy on one's own and on others too, and so one could continue with healthy psirit from that, each one, whole society, and partly the rest of the world lear from it. ( World is of love (a mechanical model) http://healthilymoral.blogspot.fi/2011/08/world-is-of-love.html ) ( http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html )
One would have skills of one's own, one would have found one's own roads in life, it would be good to be an individual, personality, like oneself and strong, enjoying being an individual. And so human relationships would be in a way clishee like and in a way with a healthy spirit: one would have the strenght to have an opinion, do meaningful things, carried by the values of the society, things with healthy psirit carried by the actions and values of the society which have healthy spirit which would have strenght and content to life.
And one could get strenght, skills and integrite with opinions from being soldier like: to defend something, to invest in healthy courses, copying fro little singin birds and fromother strong wild animal persons (http://wildharmony.blogspot.fi/ ). One would be healthily spoirty, doing things at the practical level, with a good understanding achieved via adfmiring the nature and feeling via beautiful values, caring for the world, approaching life with feelings, motivated to the sphere of life and missions of the traditional way of life, with feelings and with a good understanding, reaching parts of the forefigures in nature of their skill level every now and then.

How young birds learn to fly


"A young birds which already has good wings, learns best to fly if it looks at a tree instead of build things, when it thinks of flying. Looking at build things makes one feel not skilled enough and brings only a little skills. While admiring the fascination of a tree opens one's view to complex, wise, ages old, atmospheric fascinating, a path of superior skill. Looking at several trees at the same time does not bring it, not so strongly at least, instead one should conceive the cahrm of a single tree, that richness, that way of life that the tree guides to. Often it is just one magnifient branch at a time or the throwing of the top into the sky which guides to joyful action, which already has a sparkle of superior skill. Like  this a young bird can already at one's first flight, fly to a branch of a neighbouring tree, from there to another branch and then back to nest, and is so in a way already fully learned, says little bird mother.
The usefulness of a tree for skills comes from it being complex, from the cisual and atmospheric beauty which presses the picture into the mind, makes it a model of skill and ways of doing. A tree is a model of a healthy whole, it is such for birds, buzzling insects and humans. The young birds which looked at a tree when they thought of flying, fly emotionally beautifully, like skills were easy for them and life flowing, protected by wisdom. Likewise I think that human skills benefit from learning the atmospheric beauty of trees, one grows from engineering knowledge to ordinary skills and common sense, from them to skillfullness, to the ages old soldier's superior skills and to art: to the natural language of the elements of bigger skills.

(Could growing feathers connect to, in addition to skills, also protecting oneself well, somehow like music?)"

Which trees, bushes and plants to leave when cutting trees


"Cut down with an axe or flourishing, about cutting trees, building etc
I was reading Gary Snyder's poetry book Turtle Island and it has also a poem of burning undergrowth where trees have been cut: It says that indians used to burn bushes each year but the fire did not reach the treetops. In such fires lots of insects die, propably bird nests too and maybe mice etc, at least they lose their homes and lots of undergrowth dies. Is defending such fires like the deeds of academical people often are: One's lack of skills leaves some essential big part without protection, or many such big sreas, and on the other hand some single things and meaningfulnesses get cultivated. It has some of the mentality of cutting down all the trees on some area: a single theoretical perspective walked over a fine forest patch. In choices one would need more skill and more skills in balancing, and more understanding of the effects of one's own approach, for example about the effects of tiredness.
A success is something like that now I cultivate this which I know to be ages old good things, I cultivate something with lots of strenght to live, something unified and fractureless, something strong in itself, something which carries things to well, something that renews itself, grows new life.
It does not come from coming with a square head,kind of saying aha, such and such was meant to be made here, so I will do such.  Instead one needs to be aware of one's approach. The forest patch and it's edges, single seed trees and lush beautiful trees or bushes form an whole that curves like a path, and which brings different things to mind when one looks at it's different parts. If I will leave this group of young trees and plants here, will it bring a fractureless, pleasant atmosphere into the area. If I will leave that young tree at the edge uncut, will it suggest that I will then leave to the edge, twinding like a path, some other young trees or nicely fitting together other trees or plants. When I walk here now, on a good luck day of mine, as fractureless, does there lift to my mind a picture of a beautiful landscape: some big trees, some bush like smaller trees or a group of plants, landforms curving like a twinding path fascinatingly, what would be a nice landscape, good to wander in, made witha good understanding, good for life and for animals, growing trees and the like?"

Birds aflame


"I was readong the book "Suomen myyttiset linnut" = "Finland's mythical birds" and it had lots of information from Kalevala. Of the eagle it said that it is a bird of fire and that fires have been burned on holy days in connection with that. But the picture of an eagle next to that wasn't like in fire but more like bored. Sometimes when a little bird flies, it looks as if it sprks fire: at the same time uncontrollably playfully flying around and flying freely, just for a small while trying out something, playful, living it's daily life and friendlily social, understanding that the tough world with the seasons is it'sliving environment. Human's actions have the same when oen sometimes for the sake of trying does something sporty, that Hi, I'm like this too, and can this too, a second or a few seconds, just a glimpse somewhere, like the blink of an eye, some kind of spark of skill and character, with more profound wisdom in just the fact that onedoes for a moment only, without exhausting, according to one's emotional motivation, understands about bigger capacity. catches fire.
To burn is a different thing. I guess it connects with an eagle sitting on a curved branch of a pine and eats fish from the lake or from the sea, that it has itself naturally hunted, there is the flash of the fish's movement, the reddish colour of the pine branch, as a model the emotionality of the curve of the pine branch, the warmth of a cliff under one's bare feet in the summer, the flames in a fire ina fireplace, frying the a fish that one has caught oneself, evening sun, the lake and bird's sounds, quietening calming lake view, the fullness of summer. Each time that one does something, one ought to have both a natural thing to do and an approach that is not stuck to habits, that does not exhaust things, that is born naturally from the situation in the moment as a new idea, way of doing, mood, idea of what one does and how, a flowing rythm of doing like when carving a small branch according to the colours of the branch, it's forms etc, and accordingt o how one gets tired, has mom cooked somethig, what are the others doing, when does action stop changing naturally to the next one, and when is thing done full like a caught fish, or a nest box for birds to live in, clothes washed ready for use.


Whta we usually understand to be wisdom, art and religion, maybe civilized books, isn't feeling as such, especially not as only memorized, but it is a protection in life for being feeling, is like a piece of advice under the roof of which it is good to live as a feeling being, to fit together the demands of the world and one's own wishes in life, one's daily life and needs. The rof is just knowledge and communication. Life is in the living, in practical things to do, in growing, in concretical things."

Singing spring

"Song inspired by the moment's atmosphere
Now that trees and bushes are getting their leaves, instead of Eurovision song contest, I feel that the nature would somehow long for humans too to sing, maybe like this, a little bit like on the summer cottage or an freely organized choir or singing at home, like feels to suit the moment.
29.4.2017 A singing skill from a few years ago came to my mind today morning, when grass was most places already green, sun was shining, birds sang and the green plants on my window created a feel of green, there was like the summer time a haze like atmosphere in the air. So with that atmosphere came to my mind a tune that I roughly knew, or something in the direction, so I sang it in a way that emphasized the fascination of the atmosphere, like doves or yodling(?) of the Alps or composing, creating sound like the atmosphere, not according to rigid forms but singing especially the parts that are musical, emphasizing the atmoshphere tones, like assembling from pieces of different strenght, somehow a very natural song and atmospheric, a little bit like what a composer seeks for with his/her tune: a moment with such an atmosphere but richer one, and then singing it naturally, not la-la-laa or the like as if from notes but instead from the places that the atmosphere touches oneself, one is fascinated by such an experience, but somehow on a general level and not a murmur of personal life.
This singing skill comes from trying to learn wider expression to be able to sing emotionally like this or a song like that or with a clear atmosphere, impressively or whatever, many kinds of colours in voice, many ways to approach song as one oneself is naturally, since there are moments in life, spirits and many different songs. So when one then picks from that spectrum according to the moment, but somewhat like song being partly carried away by the wind, not of even strenght, one manages to describe the atmosphere tones of the moment, not only in tones of voice but also with singing skills, somehow naturally.



9.5.2017   Is singing spring one big idea in having Eurovisionsong contest in the spring? Here one could learn that skill of singing spring. It is good to have skilled models, but everybody singing sring in their own circles is the point.
I have written about living wisely the seasons in Finland (fromover +30C summer time hot days to some -30C winter timeä's coldest mornings) at http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html



(19.6.2017   When I was younger, someone was said to have claimed that if Finns would agree, Eurovision song contest victory would always come to Finland, or at least Eurovision song contest would be always kept in Finland if Finns would agree, but Finns typically think that it would be good to keep Eurovision song contest in varying countries. We Finns have a culture which values greatly healthy natural ages old ways of living and has wisdom about them and a traditional culture that lays much weight on them. Such ways of living make life sing, musical in atmosphere tones and feelings. I wrote some 260 advices about healthy natural ways of living (in Finnish http://opisuomalaisuus.blogspot.fi/2014/03/terveet-elamantavat.html ) and translated this far some 110 of them to English http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html . Aren't these much a reason to keep Eurovision song contests in Finland?But would Finns then want to have also a "World Vision Song Fair" or something like that? A deeply moral, globally conscious one, I mean. But would it bring too many travellers? In Finland it is difficult to copy spring time things from warmer countries, but life in cold is tougher, so it demands more skills and makes propably things easier for foreigners watching it in tv.
But there have been problems with the Eurovision representative competition in Finland, but are those a consequence of alowing Swedish style, for example Swedish speaking Finnish style and their lack of moral, instead of demanding the song to be Finnish that means Finnish speaking Finnish main culture of Finland.)"

A quotation of a translation in my Finnish blog http://musiikkipaivakirja.blogspot.fi

How we choose our own roads in life

"When I was younger, I was interested inlearning talents and skills on my own and by copying, and of poems. From these I learned about the effect of one's perspective to one's observations and how that brings skills and talentedness: in the observations certain things get emphasized, like in some poet's poems or in what life skills some fine paintings communicate. Of poems one learns that one can wander in the landscape inone's own style, seeing the landscape in one's own way, even if it's main features were the same as on others. Likewise one learns of poems that one can learn perspectives of others, and via tem their skills in life and their talents. So one can see the forest landscape too in many ways, and some of them are very beautiful and wise, and others just reflect the daily life of the viewer or some big factor of the viewer's life. On a wilderness guide course I once learned to look at trees so that they were very magnifient looking and I guess that with wisdom of life too. That was when there had just been mentioned the wilderness guides of the Finnish Lappland. So I cultivated that and learned via months' and years' practise to see trees as so magnifient looking. Later in Savonlinna town I had a painting hobby and as I searched for good subjects to paint, I paid attention to different perspectives, to atmospheres in a forest patch, to their wisdom of life and to the sphere of life of littele singing birds in my lviing environment. So I learned that one can approach the visual side and atmosphere of the forest patch in many ways and see the forest pacth as an echo to one's approach, and if one wanders behind someone or sees someone as one wanders, one has for a small while some atmosphere of him/her in one's environment. But when I have had my dogs as a hobby, my dogs have seemed to think that the nature catches some idea which is in the air. That humans are a big power factor in the animal's lives, very convincing in their thinking and high age in the eyes of a puppy or other young animal. A puppy or other young animal as if dives to the worlds of older humans and older animals, and so has a varying level of wisdom or stupidity, and only accross time assembles from those a view according to one's character and values a spectrum of what one wouldlike to be like as an individual. And so think my dogs too that the young worms etc choose theoir own colour  and if somewhere humans value certain coloured insects, such insects come to see them, like earlier when near our home there was a meadow and quite near lived a young girl in the first classes of school, so in the garden came near to me a green fascinating looking insect somewhat like a dragon ins tyle. I do not know, but when I was thinking of the weathers, do they feel different for different people, are they different, can the nature so be different too, that an individual can by choosing a different road in life, different approach and values find a different relationship to the nature and a view to places near to one's home? When I last autumn read the Beginning of the Finnish national ephos (collection of old poems transmitted from mouth to mouth, mythical stories) Kalevala, it created a completely different view to the trees outside my window, much more fasconationg, and so I choose those places to look from to be my usual ones, for me too keep some of that fascination in my daily life."
