Vuosien vaikeuksista

Muistelin eilen lapsuudenperheeni Japanin-matkaa, kun olin 12-vuotias eli 1983 syyskuussa tai ainakin osin syyskuussa. Japanissa oli kovin rakennettua, isoja taloja kaupunkikeskustamaisesti eikä juuri puita tai istutuksia, kadut tyhjiä, ihmiset töissä. Mietin, olinko kioeänä, kun ei ollut puita tms luontoa. Muistan, että menimme lähijunalla tms Naraan, missä oli puita, temppeli ja kauriita. Mutten muista paljoa muuta. Siksi tuli nyt vasta ekaa kertaa mieleeni, luulivatko minua kovin tyhmäksi, kun en ymmärtänyt niin rakennettua paikkaa, kun olin kuin tyhjäpäinen ja pahoinvoiva, ja kun pikkuveljeni kenties oli innoissaan niin keinotekoisesta ja pahalle sopivan työntäyteisestä elämästä, niin huonoista elinoloista. Suomalainen ainakin ymmärtää, ettei ihmisen täyttä ymmärrystä pidä luokitella sen mukaan, millainen hän on kipeänä ja tietämättömänä. Minä tapasin olla lapsuudenperheeni ylivoimaisesti fiksuin objektiivisessa ajattelussa ja kovin paljon vastuuntuntoisempi kukn äitipuoleni ja velheni. Japanin-matkan jälkeen olivat luokitukset menneet jotenkin pueleen, äitipuolellani Titalla ja pikkuvelhellänk Tompolla aivan liian iso asema. Ei asemua saa siirtää henkilöltä touselle kuin rahoja tai esineitä, vaan kukin on arvioitava nunakin hetkenä uudelleen, sekä itsenään että sosiaalisten suhteidensa, yhteiskunnallusen vaikutuksensa ym puolesta, siis mm taitotasot, arvot, kiinnostuksenkohteet, sosiaalisuuden tyyppi, laatu, määrä, arvot, ym kuhunkin muuhun liittyen yms. Harvoin on ihminen ihan klushee. Jos japanilainen ei ymmärrä suomalaista, ei hänen pitäisi tätä suomalaista määräillä, vaan luottaa yleissivistykseen ja tervehenkuseen moraaliin.

About celebrations

"    Savonlinna was good at celebrating while the capital district isn't so good at celebrating. As far as i understand, in a celebration day there ought to be the thing celebrated, some guests, some ages old life, some time outdoors with some motion too, foods that are kind of traditional somewhat countryside like but somehow stylish like magnifient looking and tasty, and some fine pieces of culture like some song (on a CD?), poem and/or piece of tradition or history, lots of free chances to talk for a while or do something in varied groups, and an end in sight guests leaving they having the teavel or something else for ghe evening. 

But this is just my impression. Home tidy, clean and nice is important too. There ought to be some nature around. 

And like painting or drawing demands a moment of it's own, maybe 15 minutes with time also for the subject, for such life, and with the goal of making a fine piece of art, likewise things in the party demand some space for them at least on the part of the one who offers them, so that the atmosphere is better.

In celebrations it is a rule that one ought to behave well and be good willing, dress in clean celebration clothes too. If one does not feel like behaving so one ought to leave. Also otherwise it is ok to make just a short visit or to not to come if one wishes so. If some have come from far and cannot leave, they can go and find some quiet enough corner and read a book. 

But I haven't been in such celebrations for a long time, years and years.

A new law makes me wonder

 My step mother like extremely career oriented working mom used to say that she would be better suited for being a man than a woman. Yesterday news https://yle.fi/a/3-12688511 (in Finnish) said that the Finnish parliament had voted and passed a law that allows adult to choose whwther one is oneself officially a woman or a man just by makibg an application. I have always wanted to be a woman so it does not affect me, but i just wonder what will my step mother do. 

A singer (Eino Leino's poems)

 A singer

 "  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 kantelees 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.

 N89.   Of how one sings in the poem of Eino Leino

"I wander the paths of the forest
on a summer evening thinking deeply by myself
and my chest enlargens of joy
and I sing, just sing."

One could think of feeling like singing since it is such a fine weather with some nature ( trees? ) around.

My books

 Last October 2021 I collected my old texts to books, and now in June 2022 added some of my newer texts ( written after that) to one more book "Skills Of Christmas Gnomes, continued"  see https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B45C7J9M . You can find the other books by clicking my name. Thwre are also some older books and booklets of mine.

8.8.

   Onpahan syntymäpäiväni numeroiden myötä  hoikkuudestakin kertynyt jotakin osaamista:  https://kauneusjaviisaus.blogspot.com/2018/03/hoikistuminen-ja-tunteenomainen-ideaali.html 

Ja laihdutuskikkoja.blogspot.com 

Mutta ennen kaikkea hyväntuulinen elämänviisas elämä terveiden elämäntapojen tienoilta, maailmassakin viisaasti, tuo pienemmän ravinnontsrpeen ja ajan myötä hoikan tai hoikanpuoleisen kropan, joka ei ole kireä vaan tervehenkiseen hyväntuuliseen toimeliaisuuteen sopiva. Vrt musiikista pitäminen. 

24th of July 2022   But the main thing i have always connected with the numbers 8.8. is that the round forms are healthy wholes according to feelings and connected naturally in varied amount. So it is a model of the healthy world and a paradise theory, which has given rise to my paradise theory 2013paradise.blogspot.com .

10.8.2022   Sisätiloissa istuminen, toimettomana ja dyöden ei lle hyväksi linjoille. Musiikkiharrastuneisuus ja luonnossa liikkumisesta pitäminen tuovat sellaista toimeluaan elämänviisautta ja kivaa tunteidenmukaisuutta, että ruokaa kuluu luonnostaan vähemmän ja liikunnallisuuden myötä vyötärö on rennon eloisalla tavalla hoikahko. 

Key to long age

 "   K4.   13th of February 2022   I do not know for dure, I am 50 years old, but if I would be asked what is the secret of living very ling, I woukd guess that doing things with a good basic way of doibg that has common sense like objective thinking with pictures of wholes and also healthy ways of living like one can learn from watching nature, so that the basic guess of a young person is that one can luve very long that way, of a so young person that one does not count how many tens of years but just gyesses that many. 

 I came to write this since when i looked out of tge window, some blackbirds on the ground seemed to have nuclear bombs' destructiln as a theme, and some small greyish bird on the ground ( which wandered absentmindedly saying that people who do not have muchvtime left are often at loss like that ) seemed to say that from a wild bird's view my view went with long age, so i wrote this, even though i often do nit get well alobg with people and i do not know what is the reason for that.

How one is along in the flow of life

 Saying that time passes does not give so happy life. Better to think of time as how one is along in the flow of life, ages old life at the level of experience and feelings, with keen senses and a good understanding too.

50 vuotta kasassa, 50 years lived

See https://fromhighlightohighlight.blogspot.com/2020/08/some-present-like-things.html 

 " Nyt olen jo melkein 50. Jäin miettimään tartteeko minun jotenkin muistella menneitä 50 vuotta vai voinko vain elellä eteenpäin. Jos tekisin yhteenvedon, niin se on, että olen kärsinyt paljon, lähinnä kai siksi, että minulla on paljon vihollisia, mille syytä en kunnolla tiedä, mutta he sanovat syyksi, että äitini on kohdellut minua liian paljon pahemmin kuin heidän oma äitinsä heitä ja siksi he haluavat pitää etäisyyttä moiseen. 

Lisäksi olen kirjoittanut paljon, säveltänyt jotakin, opettanut koiria ja nuorempana harrastanut liikuntaa, musiikkia ja luontoa. Myös eräopaskurssi ja maatalouskoulu olivat kivoja, mutta koulu, etenkin lukio, ja yliopiston matematiikka ja fysiikka kamalia. Asuinpaikoistani olen eniten pitänyt Savonlinnasta, jossa asuin koirineni 11 vuotta, ja Helsinkiä en kestänyt, kun aina kävi huonosti.

Terv. Kaisa Hannele Tervola "

I translate:

"Now I am already almost 50. I was left pondering do I need to somehow ponder my memories of the past 50 years or can I just live onwards. If I would summarize, it is that I have suffered a lot, I guess that mostly because I have lots of enemies, for which I do not know the reason, but they say that the reason is that since my mother treated me so much worse than their own mother them, they want to keep distance to such situation.

In addition I have written a lot, composed some pieces, taught dogs and as younger I had as hobbies sports, music and nature. I also liked the wilderness guide course and the farming school, but school, especially secondary school, and in the university math and physics were horrible. Of the places I have lived in I have most liked Savonlinna where I lived with my dogs 11 years, but I couldn't bear Helsinki since things always went badly for me there."

26th of July 2021   Of how my paradise theory and my writing work connects to what I learned in a good quality way about my birthday and my childhood name assosiation "emperor", https://aboutmytexts.blogspot.com/2015/08/my-birthday.html

It is a little bit under two weeks to my 50th birthday, and I come to think of the people I studied with or associated with as younger and many of them too are 50 years this year. But I think that having lived 50 years is mostly about one's own life  how it turned out and what one has avhieved, what carries life and what one waits from one's older years. While school times and pals of one's younger years connect with school and studies and aren't so good to mix with this. I do not feel like having travelled together with them, but instead with my own hpbbies, like-minded peope, music, good books, etc 

28th of July 2021   It is some one and a half weeksvto my birthday, but since Midsummer atmosphere has usually been 10 or 11 days before Midsummer according to the calendar, I marked already now to my prile thst I am almost 50, but I am not planning anything special because of my 50th birthday, just ordinary peaceful life. 

2nd of August 2021   My mother has never been like the usual picture of mums. Instead she is very much like a step mother clishee or enemy, so I guess that she is either a step mother or persons who pretend to be my step mother. 

7th of August 2021   Timorrow is my 50th birthday and today around noon I noticed that when I looked at some music vudeo, it kubd of flattened the atmosphere as if there was a celebration going on, people thinking that I am now 50 years and that that is a whole bunch of time, of life. I do not feel a need to celebrate, but I recognise a simular phenomenom as in the celebeations of the elderly: activity stopped, nothing to do, the younger ones just thinking of such bug amoubts of tine, of years they still have to live their life. I nitice thst I bladdre meaningfuö memiries qithout gully going them through, as uf those things were in some vitrine for guests to look at. Such reminds me of the elderly, but I do not cobsider it a good way to live, yet I feel that if I do anything special around my birthday, i judt ruin it useless. 

I guess that that means that especially younger people want to hear how to live a long and good life. My view to that is that one ought to have healthy ways of living and follow civiliced wisdom. My wisdom of life you can find from this blig at links from yhe text Some present like things, for example miscellaneous advices for unknown audience at my text about the skills of Christmas gnomes learntalents.blogspot.com .

8th of August 2021   Today I am 50 years old. It seems to bring nothing special to my life. I would like to continue with healthy ways of living, music and Buddhism. 

 

"Grey" hair

 I have lately had some "grey" hair. I have heard that such can be grey, silvery or white but mine resembles optical fibre i.e. transparent. My mom used to have silver or metal coloured hairs but she used to dye it quite light grey, and my pa's dark brown hair did not so easily turn grey.

I used to have a white spitz. I have also in Finnish kept a blog "Tulta leiskuu harmaahapset" harmaahapset.blogspot.com .

Christmas gnomes

 My long text learntalents.blogspot.com about the skills of Christmas gnomes appears now to be ready. I got stuck to wtiting it and I do not know why, except that something like that was maybe longed for in the world. Gnomes are also what quite many elderly appear to be like, so maybe some want such skills as a support for livibg longer, a good life I mean.

About anniversaries and memorial days

 I am not sure of the English term, but some historical happenings are remembered each year the same day of the year. Some say that they then tend to have bad luck, but I guess that is so when one does not celebrate it at all or celebrates as if were even one's enthusuastic hobby. Often anniversaries and memorial days go well if one has the wish to celebrate soimething and so grasps the chance and celebrates a little bit the theme of the day too. Like for example looking it up in the encyclopedia and then wandering to similar subjects and one's own interests, or mentioning the theme of the day but also history at large and highlights of one's own hobbies I guess, so that it is mor erich with life and kind of mildened. If it is the memorial day of some war or accident, mentuoning something that helps to overcome such eases the atmosphere, like for example meditation and Buddhist good will toward all living beings eases away some of the danger of a nuclear war. Anyway, things go better if one has lots of other things in one's life too, healthy kind of life with wisdom of life.

19th of June 2021   I moved from Savonlinna to Espoo at the capital district in the end of January, and two months later my poodle was killed. After that I have been vegetarian. Lately I have been very tured, both night and day and wondered if there is no room left for me in life. Except that I woke up with a light view of my future space in life when I came to think that I should alreafy now think of myself as 50 years old, even though my birthday is in August.

Savonlinna

The countryside town Savonlinna I nowadays live in, is famous for it's medieval castle and a summer time opera festival in it, every year in July but not this year (2020) since there has been an epidemy in the world even though not here (or only a little here).  There is some of that festival likedness left here for the rest of the year too, people interested in arts, nature, etc, and when I had lived in Savonlinna for a year or two, I thought that it was something birthday like, maybe the area was a good place to spend a birthday of the elderly. Anyway, across the years I have learned something of that even though not so much.

One thing in it is that one ought to buy foods & other things from shops by paying attention to what dream about way of life, skill level etc the style of the package & product promises to answer, and base one's choices on those observations.

Ages old like the nature is often good, even superb quality, so that some basic life with nature and natural materials, handicraft skills, music like heart's wishes and respecting ideals and healthy spirit, often rise the quality much higher, which is valuable on important occasions. There are lots of summer cottages around Savonlinna.

Some present like things

After a year I will be 50 years old. It seems to ask for some kind of collection of treasures that I have found or achieved, kind of presents for others. Maybe also some personal history, but there is nothing special to tell, so I guess that such is unimportant for me, and anyway I have already written a lot.

Present like achievements of mine:

"Many words for snow" (in the Finnish language) : winter melodies (from winter 2019-2020, please click the link)   https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/2019/12/winter.html
I mean to collect these to some more stylish blog post in the winter time. (2. Oct. 2020   Oh, that maybe isn't possible since the blog site changed to more cumbersome editor.) (20th of June 2024   This maybe led to me writing the blog post https://puutteidenkorjaamiseen.blogspot.com/2024/06/how-far-north-is-too-north-for-life.html ) 

For birds: how young birds can fly to the branch already in their first attempt    https://talesfromforest.blogspot.com/2017/08/how-young-birds-learn-to-fly.html (20th of June 2024   This maybe led to me writing the three books/booklets ASorcerer.BlogSpot.com .) 

Not so much my own idea, but with a bunch of links to my other texts, is my long Christmas gnome skills text http://learntalents.blogspot.com   ( the first part is at http://learntalents.blogspot.com/2018/09/gnomes-or-more-likelily-doing-things-in.html ) (20th of June 2024   This was one reason which led to me writing the 25 part book/ebook series Find / Create The Land Of Christmas, see my pages at www.amazon.com .)

My translations of famous wise  old Finnish poetry to English:

A little bit over the first poem of the Finnish national ephos Kalevala translated to English in a way that is independent of climate   https://kalevalainenglish.blogspot.com/

Some poems of maybe the most famous Finnish poet Eino Leino   https://einoleinopoems.blogspot.com/


50 years is a long time. It does not sound rational to connect it with just one day. Better to collect some memories and some wisdom of life to some blog posts across some period like for example when writing this blog.
Of the birthday itself, I feel that instead of celebrating one day one ought to live in a good way that is good to continue along. So I of course usually try to do, but it does not always succeed.

20th of August 2020
I guess that 50 years is so much that also the not so familiar people may be interested in whether there is anything of value to learn from such an age, and so maybe the material, the wisdom ought to be ready almost a year in advance and not only for the birthday.

 * * * 2nd of August 2021 That was written almost a year ago, and next Sunday 8.8.2021 I will be 50 years old, which I do not plan to celebrate but instead I aim to live normal life.   

5th of August 2021   My birthday is three days from today and I do not plan to celebrate it at all, there seems to be no demand for such. But lately I have seen as passer-bys people that connect to my interests: yesterday a singer and today a farmer and a dancer. I do not know if such is somehow spiritual, since my dogs seemed to meet dogs of same colour and size and I ran to such similiarities at large, but I guess thst it connects to my 50th birthday which may cause that some wander by as if it were a theme of the times, and so I think that the near area share of my mobile phone is good for that, but of coyrse such depends on whether one has anythibg valuable in the internet.
