Life in the tundra imagined

 I have for some reason gotten this summer lots of influencies from life in the northern tundra. Here in southern Finland is vety different: much warmef, people inclined toward a much warmer climate. And the nature less scarce, here one can rely on the nature carrying, trees bringing pleasant refreshment after a day's work, while in the tundra there are no trees and that far north one cannot so much lean on the nature, exceot maybe when tjinking of the nature's ways of living the weathers and challenges of the four seasons, of the whole year and what character traits, values and skills it demands. 

Anyway, life in the tundra is much cooler or colder and mostly there are no trees. One can compare it with one knterested in the nature, weathers and time of the day in a stony sea shore of low or quite low cliffs, on a cool day with some moisture in the ait, at a time of the day when the sun is not high but is instead quite near the horizon and maybe at least partly covered with clouds. One who is alone on some maybe near-by area of cliffs and sea, and kneels/ kneeling like squats to feel the atmosphere of the nature there, to be quiet for a moment and think of the ages old life there, the ages old nature there.

 So it is somewhat like on a foggy day when one comes out to walk some way and after only starting there is the landscape covered by fog or mist. And one is kibd of quiet for a moment and as if swallowing thears of something and thinking of the beauty of nature and of the tree branches nesr by and of the cool. 

 Or when in the early winter temperature is about 0C and there is a slight kind of greyish cover of snow partly on the ground like frost, and one does not quite know what to vontinue to, is this already winter, does one have winter skills for minus degrees, does one lije such wintery beauty, what will the coming winter months be like this year, why does the landscape somehow resemble school and somehow not, more like remarking healthy wisdom of life being important, do one's social contacts have winter skills, what will lives so turn knto now, what did the insects think of this first glimose or among the first glimoses of winter, will they have skills for it, hiw much the nature understands, yet there is mostly the weather catching attention, needing attentiln and kn a way so quiet yet life at 0+C beneath the surface.

The song "Needless and pins" by Smokie, reminds me here of encouraging and supporting the young, or the northern nature, even if it isn't the most flourishing life anywhere. 

Which reminds me of the summer Olympic games 2024 in Paris in Framce, which start today. Sports too is largely a question of encouraging the young, of giving good possibilities to lufe for all even if they are much older and the people today not as sporty as some ancient times when the sports abilities possibilities developed to our ancestors. 

These bring to my mind tge name of the Finnish forest god or some such person, who has the name Tapio, which means one who is losing in competition, since at such a situatiln with the wild nature one who aims always at beautiful values in the world and at an as good quality as one ever can, can so learn a lot from the nature, almost God like in proportions. Like the subordinate ones often learn in an environment with civiliced wisdom taught wisely enough. Like children learn new talents, like people in a new hobby tgat they themselves like and admire, learn quickly and big things. And like women and girls learn from being demanded to take the wisdom of all fairly into account. Like the moral ones learn from wishing well in the world and having so as their forefigures everything working well in the world. Like the founders of new liked areas of life learn. But very dominant people do not learn, those lazying like too much eaten or in summer heat. 

There is an old Finnish song:

"Forest's son I want to be,

somewhat like a hero (wiser than the people in town, subordinate to the nature) in the dense woods of thick needle trees, which are charming like the steep shore cliffs and their trees, seen from a boat on a lake

And the fuss of the world fades away, is forgotten like it never existed, and there is only the wisdom of the wild nature surrounding oneself, happy fractureless life ages old

..."

There is an old Finnish children's song, I do not quite know why it came to my mind, in addition to the words and melody there are pantomime like gestures telling the story

"From a forest hut's window a gnome is looking out, 

And a rabbit is galloping and comes to knock on the door: 

- Help, help me, I ask from you

The hunter is destroying my life

- I will give you shelter, so grasp my hands "

I had a cousing almost a year younger than me and she and her brother lived in the same block of houses with gardens as me and my brother and our families, and those my cousins paid lots of attention to this song like in the video's second chapter with the tiny gestures, while to me forest and wild animals were big things, like in the third chapter with ghe wide gestures. Anyway, as older my female cousin resembled somewhat Shakira in this video Waka waka, this time for Africa 

I do not quite know what to do if the social environment is enemy like but pretending to be ok friendly. Such is of course different from trustworthiness. In a society one can rely on the society's normal arrangements which try to make fair life possibilities for all, like school for kids for example. As one gets older, more depends on one's ability to find a place in the society for example, like job, hobbies, one's own adult year's family i.e. dates and a spouce. One must so understand also tge places of others in the society and in the world, why woukd they suit and choose such jobs, what kind of social relations they prefer and what is their lufe then like, and so how to associate with them. Ordinarily there are the civiluced ways, clmmon sense, wisdom of life, things done together all talked about which can create some room to live in. But one must remember that often it is good to be on one's own, good to trust civiliced wisdom ibstead of trying to reserve a certain spot in life and so get so stuck to certain choices that one fails in jyst about all life skills.

It is as if someone on some mental side had said that this they wanted to know of the background of women travelling alone. I was on an Interrail trip, one month by train in Europe in my early twenties, and was it two years later also alone travelling in South-East Asia. 

A moment ago there sounded like a delivery man on the street interrupted by someone like my mom saying something, and it was as if he had been promised money for going with her to handle something, but such is not ok, is too dangerous! The basic rule is to go with no-one anywhere, not to any place with anyone. A traveller can go to a good quality hotel or hostel, surely known of and checked, and to museums, railways etc usually recommended for travellers, simikarly buy needed things and souvenirs from shops that are ok enough. And if there seems to be problens somewhwre, go to some safer more public place with more people and from there to some other safer place. And one can talk with people, and if one has enough social eye, maybe obe can so better estimate what is what for whom, and so it is said that travelling makes one's understanding of lives and of the world wider. 

This news video of a fire tornado in California https://yle.fi/a/74-20101587 brings to my mind childhood environment, some sides of how things went ashtray when the traditilnal Finnish culture was wise but in connection with technology and computers there came an attempt to put objective pictures of the world on computers, and since the computers people imagined were so elementary, there came the problem of how to get the picture of the world on computer stay as a picture of the world instead of being mindless nonsense and maybe turning to it's opposite, and so since such skills seemed needed in the future, many well working things turned to dominating nonsense or to harming tge things which should have been cultivated, and so such was called evil or acting or the views of others, and civiliced ways were just lost.

 Such ought no longer be the problem if one would use a basic vommon sense like objective picture of the world, civiliced values and lots of wisdom of lufe, understanding that people aiming at different professions may often have different skills and values, and also otherwise individuals differ. 

One ought not affect things that one does not care to well, i.e. not for example affect as much as a more skilled and dedicated person. And one ought to leave the large world and the lives of others untouched, follow civiliced values in them. Basic civiluced picture of the world is good to have, but each one should have one's own picture of the world, in which they know if they have read some knowledge from a book or heard a certain person say so or have personal experience of things being so. The picture of the world ought also contain edtimates of the trustworthiness of each claim. So one person understanding and greatly valuing some kinds of things, does not mean that person's clise social contact or childhood social environment aytomatically understanding or valuing such.
