Snow covers melting seen thinking of the whole year's weathers and nature

 " 12th of June 2024   The snow covers melting to puddles and snow, and similarly the other times of the year, compare with the rest of the four seasons and get their beauty and charm from it, the person looking at the landscape thinking that this is the charm of life this far north, but so living there demands in some way very much that one would like just that cold and scarce seasons, such life in one's heart, and so one's kids etc maybe cannot bear it. Each one should live in a climate that one likes, qhich is as flourishing and warm as one needs and enjoys all the year.

Green plants on a window

" Green plants on a window 

 Green plants may make the view much nicer and the room more comfortable to live in. Select plants suited to the amount of sunshine and sgadow on that window. Start with plants that are easiest to get to flourish. Of Finnish room plants, I think that "kirjovehka" was good since it grows so much leaves, and does not die at once, but instead a leaf or two may get dry, so one still has a chance to save it. To a dry place "mehikasvit" may be nice. 

Place the green plant in a flower pot on the window on a nice moment when you have some eye for such, some wisdom of life of how you want to live there, and do not move or turn it after that, just let it be in peace, taking care that it has enough but not too much moisture. So it will adjust there, maybe grow some new leaves, and so after a few days it will look better, and the atmosphere will be better, especially in the long run. Likewise with decoration objects on the window if you like such. For example I had on the window some old piece of tree branch, an 1 euro coin with the famous Finnish composer Sibelius as it's picture's theme, some small statue like decoration object and many plants.

In the lower picture, from some earlier April, on a sunny window, if I remember right, I had given the plants one doze of nutritients, and those grew already by it some 20cm, so I haven't after that used any nutritients.

Things like the song "A rose of Kotka"

 See https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/06/visit-kotka.html

"Visit Kotka 

 The Finnish sea coast town called "eagle" Kotka in South-East Finland, is very impressive, at least at first glance. See https://www.visitkotkahamina.fi/en/places/park-tour-in-kotka/ 

 *

An old song A rose of Kotka, tells of darkening August evenings, still on the more light summer side of the year. 

" A rose of Kotka (town called Eagle)

It's evening,

stars get lighted to shine,

dark water splashes as waves to the wharfs.

Once again song waits in the harbour for the wanderer, night time's joys wait, and a boy waits for someone who would take him. 

Come along, the stars start to glimmer. 

Come along, the played music wakes to thunder loud. Once again singing is heard loudly, wine glasses full of bubbles. Once again a rose of Kotka waits for someobe to pick her. 

Who would come with me to dance? I guess a moment's comfort for sorrow from a glass is allowed? If I decide I want to give you my love, you can own the rose of Kotka for a while. 

Tonight, luck will favour the brave ones, tonight love will give it's glow, tonight charm lips, give their hottest. He/she, Kotka's rose will start to flower. 

One cannot avoid one's fate, not even the bravest ones. You are my fate, you boy of the distant lands. Come along, there is a dance in the bar! Come along, boy, to the harbour of Kotka!" 

*

This does not connect especially with Kotka, but if someone would like this kinds of charm, but does not have much life of her/his own, would they like to try 

*   white water canoeing (it is dangerous)?

*   Or a, maybe quite short, if so it is nice and wished for beforehand, walk in the forest and sit on a fire in a fireplace with trees around and salmon food getting fried by the fire?

*   A milder, less dangerous than white water canoeing, version would be to paddle a canoe along the rocky shores with trees, grasses and other nature, too, and just watch the scenery, enjoy the experience, for example on a lake. See https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/12/skiing-in-forest.html 

*   " 30th of May 2024   Come to think of it, my father had a nice way of skiing in the forests in the winter, resembling some Eino Leino's poems, but I guess such is some traditional wisdom and he had good skills of recreation outdoors in the winter.

"I ski the snow covers leisurely slowly, (just a few steps, then  stopping for a moment to look at the landscape, the snowy beauty of trees etc, gliding down a slight hill, a few steps and looking around, maybe changing route,...)

Wind tosses snow.

Mostly it is as if travelling against the wind and not so much like being carried along the wind.

FROM  "SOME TEXTS ABOUT FEELINGS AND WISDOM OF LIFE" 

Bird's tail

 See https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-charm-of-capercaillie.html 

The text continues somewhat at https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/07/static-life-experience-is-different.html 

"The charm of capercaillie 

 I have wondered since when have things in my lufe, in Finland and in the workd seemed to go more toward death. I do not know but I once in Savonlinna painted from a photogeapf of a fine mostly black or blackish bit Finnish bird with a fine round kind of emotionally nice looking tail, a picture of it over 6 years later, I do not remember when. The painting went nicely detaikedly but somehow the tail went narrow like tgat of a female bird, saying that the male bird in the picture had dued already earlier. So I think that that was somehow some turning point, since I haven't seen so msny fine wild animals so near, at least not so big ones and in the nature. 

"G27.   2nd of February 2021    Over ten years ago I had just started on a wilderness guide course in Nuuksio national park and recreational lake&forest district, when I on my free time went for a walk in the forest and immediately saw a capercaillie? ("metso"), a huge mainly black bird that has a fan like emotionally wise looking tale, ona branch in it's spring dating ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA8MhKz025I

 

A few days later I was walking in the forest near a lake when I saw a huge human sized eagle fly near by and it seemed to land somewhere near, but I got afraud and after that I did not see such animals at all. It seems that if one invests strongly in something that one loves and it is just fascination and nothing artiuficial, not acted, one can meet such in others too, like for example loving the wildlife and nature. Years ago I started a karate hobby after another Japanse martial art, and I wanted to invest in it, do  it in a good way, do something seriously, and so I found such a club AND JUST LOVED IT, it was kind of as in a flight, but then later when my mom was convinced that just the club was special, I lost my good touch with it and soon lost the hobby too. Nawadays my poodle Banjo has had good subjects for blogging, kind of hobby, and today morning I looked out of the window here in Espoo where I have lived now for a week, and there was a dark figure like a big dog galloping slowly at an angle across the street, and my poodle said of the style that it was a wolf, and it seemed to be interested in my poodle'shobby. "D (1/8 note), D&F (half note), G (1/4), A (1/2), E (1/4), D (1/2), E&G (1/2), A (1/8), G (1/2), E (1/8), D (1/4) and E&G (1/2)." https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/2021/02/a-wolf-in-town-in-espoo.html

" 

But somehow, when I once some years ago saw in the news a picture of a new much increased species by the sea cost, cormorant. It was called as if a sea version of the fibe caoercsillue, was it my pets saying that I coukd teach them the fine tail of capercaillie. Today I watched such pucture in the news and came to think that if they come hete to the sea coast's small stony islands, they maybe can see the coast cluffs, ghe pine trees on them snd the tall geasses etc on them, and those have some charm, some way of living emphasizing rationality luke the cliffs in connection with the round more lufe like forms of the trees, life there, the round forns of the cluffs etc all having some wisdom of lufe according to feelings. And when you live there, leave tgat ages old wisdom untouched, don't spoil the fracturelessness of the nature. Just experience like weeds in the liw water by the sjore waving by the waves, variations of wind, occasilnal duck type of bird swimming near by, life experience changing from moment to moment, full of densatilbs and colours, 

- as if a human (some impression of some Japanese woman in some Haoanese office or other working place, havibg similar experience of beauty of some view of mine from my younger years when I as a young adult practiced Japanese martial art(s?), and here compared with a view of the above mentioned cool sea cost in daylight ) in town lookibg around and the whole world of a dazzling besuty, volourful spits, sensatilns, beautiful forms, wisdom of different areas of lufe in the air, freedom of young adults, like spirts, weather, new places to go and see but the wisdomvaluable, carrying life possibilitues in the guture too,... -

Living in a way that sees the beauty of life in the livibg, in nature, in a place and culture where the ways of livibg are wise and the challenges set by westhers are of a gwalthy kibd, increasing wisdom, and so one is ki d of charmed of such true good sides, even if obe is just a oasser by or a bird visiting only the stony sea cost small islands for spendibg the summer. Ghe magnifience of the big geese rising to their wings to start autumn migration to southwards soon over the sea. 

*

Taking such wisdom of lufe, such wise views and such good ways of living as one's identity, kibd of as if a culture that one us fond of, suppirts, as if a liked hobby things of that kibd, maybe would make one as if with a wide round tail like that of capercaillue, but in the coloyes of tge areas of lufe that one lijes and favours. Kibd of lufe according to deelibgs, gaving wisdom which suppirts such and kniwing from where and how to lwarn such, that would be. 

Like, if the cormorant tried to learn this way, it maybe would have some slightly bluish grey on it's sides, kind of to refer to the cluffs seen without visiting and to the work-likedness of tge northern view. So as a result it would have a reference to the northern wisdom of lufe and so as a consequence a possibility to have such wisdom of lufe (there are fine famous books to learn such from, at least kind of spiritual books from usa) as a hobby that is always or at least quite often along, if obe tends to like such and talk of such, kind of be fobd of being that type of person, living that kind of lufe, having wise enough values supporting that kind of lufe in the midern world.

If the times are no longer so dominated by engineering's point of view as in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, could there be also some other colours for the wisdom of feelings than the suspicious black?

" Static life experience is different from rowing boat, reactive sports, etc 

 In my text about the charm of capercaillie https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-charm-of-capercaillie.html , I tried to describe a northern summer like experience of nature. It was in connectiln with the merimetso birds having conquered small stony island at Finland's coast, and typical to those new birds is that they do not leave the nature untouched. There sre too many of them, they do not folliw local ways and they raise their young, so they create just an awful mess and nothibg much of the original is left, maybe only some dirtied cliffs and tree that has suffered a lot. So I tried to figure out how such a nature experience is possible. And so I thought of watching the shore or a local wild bird swimming near it, but in tgat it is essential that the experience of lufe is of life in the living, for example of shore's low waters, and of untouched nature, not a garden only. So it could be in other countries too, also in very different climates. But static view of nature or bicyclibg by isn't the point. That has much too little personal variations. Also the suggested road like curving bridge near shore cliffs in Helsinki, in today news https://yle.fi/a/74-20095236 , does not sound lije giving this kibd of view at all. Besides it does not have tge feel of wild nature, if it is surrounded largely or fully by bridge or other buikd things. So a small light boat with a small engine, could be much better for such sightseeing, even if it has a roof, but there ought to be shore weeds too. For example a nose like landform near a build walkibg road straight to the sea would be better than bridge but not good enough, not so strongly experienced, not bringing so much personally meanibgful wisdom of lufe and lufe experiences. Like swimming on a natural shore maybe would be if you lije just that clinate, culture and nature, are impressed by their wisdom of life. For example a rocky shore walkroad there plys a swimming sand shore near by. 

The article had unusual kind of persons in an interview, was it Chinese? Those claimed something much against local traditional values, just lued as if it had been a memorised song instead of a landscape like picture of the world, kind of lying that way the whoke situation, which is very much agaibst the usual efucated picture of the world wiyh on's own observatilns from daily lufe and common sense olus wisdom of lufe alobg. 

Life sings if it works well in some sense. So songs are often compised about some well working life tgat suits many, and it really is a way to get some idea of such well workibg ways of doing. So one can on one's own too choose something of the kibd and often it carries lufe quite well, but of course us sonebody else's version, so it is good if one knows several good songs and has lufe skills of one's own, lufe experience too. And a singer too has one's own view of good lufe, well workibg ways of doing, some wisdom of lufe, values, social styles and interests and groups to belong to. So songs kind of contain glimpses of solution of others of how to get lufe to work out well. So songs' positive effects are not based on lues but instead in there being somethkng valuable wisdom in them, even tjough of varied kibds, sometines well ubderstood and sometimes judt fun or interest in old valued songs of others.

As if wine in food shops, and of summer skills

 See https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/06/as-if-wine-in-food-shops.html 

 From https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/06/as-if-wine-in-food-shops.html 

" As if wine in food shops, and of summer skills

 In the news it was that from today onwards it is alliwed to sell wines etc in food shops. I have wondered if it connects with my healing blogs CuringGuesses.BlogSpot.com (nice, miracle healing) to which there is nowadays the shorter addresss www.EasyHealing.info , and the Finnish original parantamisesta.blogspot.com . And to my blogs/books about the skills for a Christmas gnome like life, see LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com , which I feel has often been longed for and liked by many. 

I myself am an absolutist, have never felt a need for wine, and very rarely a wish for such either. Only sometimes when due to some social ibfluencies life has appeared grey and feeling kind of rough, I have momentarily felt it nice if there has clne the smell of red wine from somewhere. My ordinary life experience is more coloyrful and with wisdom of lufe, largely pleasant in what comes to the effect of my own choices, so there rarely is any need for such major clumsy fixing attempts as wine or drugs or strong social influencies from others or the advices of the not-so-wise. But so I came to think how could I bring such pleasant feelibg wisdom of lufe to those who wish for such. These texts of mine are one source. Backed up of course by the ordibary good sources of needed pleasantness like basic civiliced wisdom, the media and shops, and things arranged by the society like hobby courses, different kinds of places to live in, etc. 

But if one thinks of momentary experience of life, I think I maybe could learn to make covers of decoration cushions that could make one's life st home feel more pleasant. A typical decoration cushion is quite square, maybe about 40cm x 40cm, and kind thick in a fluffy way but such tgat it softens if one puts it between  some hard edge and oneself while one sits. 

A decoration cushion cover could be of a rough middle orange fabric like rough cotton but maybe with a more plastic, kind of shiny and somewhat hard surface, i.e. thread. And have a round embroided? picture (only on one side, and the other side same colour as the background) on white or light grey, like a circle somewhat wheel like but with an edge like the edge of castle's walls in traditional pictures, and inside the circle on not-so-strong lines something that is of a tile structure like but chosen so that the figure brings to mind the atmosphere of wheat and it's seeds.

Or then similarly middle orange cudhion of a silk like even surface on which one can paint or print a picture of a bunch of blue with shades changing, almost white, maybe purple, flower bunch with somewhat hiirenvirna like flower forms but quite big, and "kielo" type of big leaves at least on sides. This could have a slightly bluish grey background of a circle form and maybe a dark green thin embroidey lije adge. 

In the picture my old decoration cushions that I have bought years ago and liked. 

The guitar in the picture I haven't played, since it's one string is broken and 6 strings does not suit me. I used to have a green guitar bag and it was nice, but the black bag does not seem a good idea for me. 

I haven't played lately music almost all. It seems to be in the air that summers and the warm weathers in warmer countries go often so wrong, that it is better to let the singing birds care alone for summer music, and try to see what it ought to be like. For those who feel ill or are with stomach pain, it seems that speedy wandering kind of music suits only cool and cold weathers, while the individual woukd recover and feel well with a round hot day like sphere of attention, each person separately like feels good for oneself, mostly for oneself only, not moving so much or moving just lije seems to suit the way one feels, what is the occasion like snd the weather and what has lately brought a good feeling, made one able to take part in life without pains etc. 

Just came to my mind an old type of mostly white garden pair swing where there is room only for 1,5 adults on each side, two round formed stools of maybe 2-3cm wide wood strips with some air flowing in between and making also dryingafter rain easief, the stools facing each other and joined by a maybe 1m flat platform in between, and those hanging from a propably wooden? Similaylr painted frame, somewhat A-lije tilted sides, not square, and so the swings swing in unision in tge half-shadow of near-by trees. And it is just pleasant, not so speedily wsing like, at least motly. Similarly spending time in a garden, with ice cream, strawberries, or fresh sallad, and lots of fresh water to drink. If one needs something more food like, it is better to eat a piece of bread or some fresh carrot or ordinary good food, than to replace the drinks with stronger, since one anyway needs ordinary foods to stay healthh, even tjpugh in the summer the amounts vary from fresh vegetable sallad to the ordinary food of autumn and spring, which also on hot weathers are needed at least once a week. 

Similarly the weathers need to be experienced and estimated momentarily, changing one's ways of living from moment to moment, a few seconds at a time, like for example coming out from a tourist attractiong in an old wooden house, experiencing the weather just when coming out and in the stairs indoors air mixed with outdoors air, then a few steps on the sand pavement feeling the weather, then passing near a flourishkng bush leaves still wet from rain, then the sand road coming to a car road, following the car road to a parking lit and one's car, etc. 

Likewise the sights in the summer go in a more pleasant way as if the types of nature and the atmospheric things were separate small round formed (like a tree or bush with fallen leaves or flowers around it) spaces of their own kind, kind of found treasures like some beautiful tall grasses roadside, the sound of one's shoes when walking on the pavement, a glimpse of clouds, an openibg between trees as if framed by leaves, birdsong in the air, the cultural miljo mixed with garden flowers, etc. As if somewhat like the very small (10cm x 10cm?) paintings sold for hanging on a wall, like for example of flowers or of sailboats, etc.

17th of June 2024   Last summer I was ill, but as I now estimate climate skills, my own summer skills seem to carry well, but the influencies from others mostly do not feel so welm. So I guess that my advices about livibg with the four seasons would be ok, see https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html . In Finland the seasons change and their weathers vary a lot too, so life has many new beginnings and tgat means that one needs to choose good ways of doibg that suit the situation, and so one both invests in the ages old human nature and in wisdom, and on the other hand tunes to what feels best right then in the sense of thinking also of the comibg times: of the next half an hour and a few hours, the whole day and continukng to the next day in the next morning and of the future at large: how would one feel well and be ok healthy enough etc for the lufe to work out well.

"Weathers like wines 

 See https://learntalents3.blogspot.com/2024/06/weather-like-wine.html 

"  There is a charm of a landscaoe with at least some nature in it. And if you at some moment look at some tree (maybe it is often more lije a short glance with some of tge landscape and clouds, type of light, feel of the air etc weather like things in it too and especially the season of the year noticed too - an atmospheric second?, and later attention mostly in the landscape and weather like factors), tall grasses or slme other nature in the landscape to see it's style and charm, in which there is some atmosphere of the weathers, a view of living the weathers in a charming way. If one folliws that atmospheric, kind of colour sensations oriented view with the air too somehow observed in it, the weathers, if one folliws such a way of living. And the next moment or after a short while looks again at the beauty of some nature, and finds so an atmospheric way of living the season and the weathers. Is it somewhat lije the weathers like wine, which at first would seem to refer to the charm of spring together with it's birdsong. 

Just wander in the landscape like those atmospheres suggest, admiring the beauty of the nature around, like on a short walk, or in pieces of a few steps, to learn variations according to the beauty of nature and the demands of the weathers. 

It is mostly an impression when watchibg a tree or a beautiful nature view, that someone would walk enjoyably so, in a kind of atmospheric way which senses colours etc enjoyably. And so if one oneself decides to try such, pay attention to such charm in the landscape in the near minutes, it is very enjoyable, or then one did not catch it right, or is not of that type enough - like year around according to such advices of the weathers of just that climate would be good for living there.

The video's texts brought to my mind someone trying to figure out well affecting medicines, which brought my attempt at such for something in the direction of the weathers in this song of Cat Stevens : a slice of dark bread with a slight layer of butter or oil on it. 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cRvXQ2JlTZ4

"Nocturne

Dark wheat bird's song in my ears,
above the wheat seeds full moon;
summer nights happiness is mine,
to a mist dresses themselves the valleys.
I am not joyful, I am not sad or sighing;
but bring to me forest's dark colours,
the red of the clouds to which day vanishes,
faraway sight of a windy hill that sleeps,
the scent of tiny pink flowers and the shadows of lakes;
of these I weave my heart's song.

To you I sing miss, summer grass,
my heart's great silence,
my religion, sing as melodies,
an oak leaves head decoration lush, new.
I am no longer tracing vanishing fake lights,
in my hand happiness's gold,
life's sphere around me gets smaller;
time stops, wind indicator sleeps;
in my front a twilighty road
leads to an unfamiliar cottage."

Eino Leino (My translation)
