Of woodworks and skills, and of the Helka hymns

   From my Christmas gnome/elf skills blog LearnTalents11.BlogSpot.com & also at my blog about learning sports talents and about sports philosophy Liikuntaa.BlogSpot.com : 

 "  Of woodworks I liked a lit as a child. As a girl I did not feel tgem compulsory or some role which to follow. Instead I was interested in learning all kinds of skills for lufe, abd saw woodworks somehow nicely demanding sports kinds skills, and wood as a natural materual was nice, beautiful and somehow healthily good feeling for me. But I was not interested in technology, but instead in learnibg all kibds of useful natural skills, good to have in the world. So I was interested in the spirut of doibg and in ways of doing, lije if different people try doibg sonething detailedly, what is the spurit thry happen to use or hapoen to have that occasiob, since for some it is like overconcentratiob, for some lije continuibg in some social company, for some like drawing, while some jyst survive it through as iftrying to be well eaten and happy for the sake of kuds even though the work feels repetitive, and only some take the nuances as if having natyral rythms of lufe, of wood, like natural songs of lufe, ways of doing, nuances in atmosphwres of things done and in the observatilns of wood's pattern and feel, both of the materual and on the other hand how ghe ways of doing and the charachteristics of the occasion are reflected in the markings in the wood so that one can develop in skilks so, maybe also in wisdom of lufe. 

The famous old Finnish piet Eino Leino - or was it very many school children etc - wrote also a series of poems called the Helka Hymns. If I remember right, those tell of people, is it men, skiing alone in the winter in a forest far away from humans and meeting there some other man who attacks with a knife, or of other simikarly questions of lufe and death at a single quite short encounter. Those are like tales of soldier virtues and of the wild nature like fights or tests of who survives where and how, who in the old tines' nature's ways, which are the interesting side of those poems. The impressiln is that the survival isn't build on those moments, since there is also the lobg way to the indoors warmth to survive through before one can stay alive of such and continue life. So the impression was that one with good wise life skills survived well, but maybe others too stayed alive, while the others with square ways, uninterested in the wisdom of the nature, did not survive so well, not necessarily even alone, without any additional challenge of possible fighrs around. 

So these two types of vhallenges, woodworks and fights fsr away from others, are different in that from woodworks one can all the time learn something of skills, effects of choices of practices, etc, while fighting xauses too much damage and is kind of a fracture in life's landscape of glourishing life. On the other hand those both build pn the ways of living at large being good in many ways and of gwalthy kind, kibd of happy natural ages old life preferred, wise life with lots of wisdom of lufe in use.

Of separation anxiety

 I wrote about the separation anxiety of dogs etc, but then came to wobder, is separation anxiety the thing which prevenrs peopke from changing to live in another country? 

"  23. helmikuuta 2025   Koiran eroahdistus ja siihen liittyvä ulvominen, voivat liittyä siihen, että kotona jossain näkymättömissä on muita koiraa pienempiä ja usein kai paljon nuorempia ja kojemattomampia eläimiä, esim rottia, hiiriä rai myyriä, jotka ovat huolissaan tutun ihmisen poissaolosta: riittävätkö ruoka ja vesi, ja entä miten on vessa järjestetty? Ja huolussaan olevat pienet eläinet nojaavat koiraan ja niiden huolen koira ilmaisisi ulvontana, joka on kenties kuin nuoren rotan tms itku, kun se on epävarma ja kenties sillä on turhan viileä olo. 

Vastaavasti koiralla tarttee olla turvallista ja hyvä olla, mm riittävän lämmin eikä vaaraa liian kylmästä eikä liian kuumasta, eli jos on talvella ikkuna raollaan tai kesällä aurinko paistaa kuumasti, niin on tärkeää, ettei väärään lämpötilaan jää jumiin ja ettei siihen niin muelellään jäisi loikomaankaan vaan palaisi sinne mussä on hyvä olla. Pelkkien tyhjien seinien sijasta llisi hyvä llla jotain virikkeitä, esim puu ikkunan ulkopuolella ja sisälläkin kiva miljöö, sosiaalusesti mukava koiralle ja sille tuttu. Näin etenkin paikoissa joissa koira tykkää loikoa sekä myös jos se jonnekin ehkä jää odottamaan esim ovelle. Ja lisäksi on kai hyvä että koira tietää, miten oitkään suunnilleen ollaan poissa, ja mitä tehdä, jos paluu venyy, missä kulkee raja että milloin ilmoittaa naapureille tms ettei omistaja ole palannut niin kuln arveli tulevansa. 

Ikkunan luota kylmästä ei ehkä aina tee mueli palata suoraan loikomaan lämpimälle pedille, vaan ensin koira kai kävelisi lämoimämpään, missä vaikka vanha tuttu käytävän matto tms matto, ja vasta siinä mukavamman lämoimässä sitten katselusi, että mitä tekisi, minne menisi.

Translated to English : 

The separation anxiety of dogs abd the howling connected with, may be results of there being other smaller and much younger abd unexperienced animals hiding in the apartment, like rats, mice, etc, and those are worrued of the absence of the familuar human: is there enough food and water, abd how is the toilet arranged? And the worried small animals woukd lean on the dog and so their worry woukd be expressed as the howling of the dog. 

Likewise a dog needs aafety and needs to feel well, for example warm enough but without sanger of too hot or too cold, so if in the winter time there is a window slightly open or in the summer the sun shines hotly, it is impirtant that one does not get stuck to too cokd or too hot, and that it woukd not be so comfortable to lue there but obe woukd instead return to where things are well for life. 

Instead of jyst empty walls it would be good to have at least some stimuli, like for example a tree outdoors and also indoors a nice miljo for the dog, socially comfortable, familuar and safe for the dog. This especially where the dog lijes to lie and if it tebds to wait sonewhere like for example by the door. In addition it would bw good if the dog knew how long one is approxinately away, and what to do if it takes longer, and is there some time after when it would make sebse to inform neighboyrs of the owner not having returned like planned.

From the cold by the window one maybe does not always feel lije returning straight to lue on a warm bed, but instead the dog would return to comfortably warm where there is an old familuar corridor carpet or other carpet, and only there wobder what to do and where to go.

Tge Christmas gnome like life as a subject makes the atmosphere around amazingly much more comfortable, but I haven't had a dog or other pets for a few years now   LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2018/09

 "  A melody of harmony and love in a society 

Just an attempt at natural feeling basic harmony in a society, kind of common sense and people separate, ages old wisdom followed, nothing special 

D, E, A(long), G, E, D, - , A (long), upperC(long), G(long), E, D, G(long)

Not so sure about the lenghts in the latter part

...

Just tried to remember from my youth in the 1980's how a young person could create or help to create ordinary good life in the society around.
