A singer

 From my lobg text Skills of Christmas gnomes learntalents.blogspot.com :

"   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 kanteles 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.

Gnome like life

I somehow got stuck writing along text with lots of links about the possibilities of gnome (like Christmas gnomes, "tonttu" or "joulutonttu" in Finnish) like life in the modern world:

Did you ever consider a dream job, something you like or love doing and which you value? There isn't always a good wage for it but there is a place for it in the world. Like for example the things you can buy in a shop. Someone made them and the materials costed a lot and transport, storage, selling. Yet they are often worth buying if one needs such. http://todreamjob.blogspot.com

Maybe my gnome texts can answer to the question: how is sheltered life like music possible, where to find such peace, how to create it oneself? "

I have also learned to compose music

Spring melodies 2020

Just an attempt, a not so musical day for me

Another subject, this time in the suburb:

13th of March 2020
A melody of an icy sand raod for walking, but the main attention of course was in not falling and in avoiding falling badly.

5th of April 2020  During the last two days it has part of the time rained snow or the like. Today sun was shining but outdoors a dog howled as if it had not caught the weather but instead depressed mood coming from children's school. So I composed these twi chords for it the experience the weather nicer, even though I was indoors.

How to find freedom inside a form

Do not fix your glance to the form. Instead be what you are, freely, unobstructedly. (For example take a walk in the nature, do things that you like, enjoy life, express yourself enough to feel free but do not reveal yourself in any way that would be dangerous, like "I like ice cream" ( most people like it) but not like "Collecting X has always been my secret love." (Others cannot share it, so they are likely to restrict you from doing it.) Seeing how you are alike with all the others: "I love Life!", you can enjoy a freedom that makes your capacity grow.) What you are is a complex thing, much more complex than the form.
Now, you can be honest but don't tell everything: You can see which sides of your life the form touches, but don't let that be all of your life even now. Live, express yourself and see where you are like the form, let that side of yourself be clearly in sight, partly guiding your actions/steps, the rest not-so-well-in-sight. Thus you can as an expression of what you are fulfill the form and at the same time live freely.
This way you can also make inspirated variations to the form: Just let your experience of life be a starting point. See which things touch feelings especially much: those are your energy, those will in their generalised form touch others too, without revealing anything about yourself personally but teaching a lot about what it is like to be a human.

These are useful skills, not just for dancing or singing, but for all of your life - in the modern environment which sets so many demands for us.

Living fully when working

Living fully when inside some work perspective

Find the soul of the work's demands on you & others.
That makes you work better and enjoy your work more.
It also fits your work together with the rest of your life, with your ideals in how to live.

How to not to lose the soul to technique

But how to do a thing if you do have a glimpse of its soul but at the same time have a technical form to fill?
Start with the clearest intuitive idea of the soul in its pure best form, in its right place in the world which also should be conceived intuitively, inspiratedly. Then in addition pay attention to the atmosphere of that soul: to its overall atmosphere, to all its sides, to each tiny glimpse of something somewhere so that you have a landscape of atmospheres, the overall shape of which is the soul. Where you know what is what, fill in also the sensed impressions, parctical deeds etc. that produce the atmospheres in the landscape. In order to better handle the whole, arrange it spatially, to a real landscape.
Then you should take the only APPROXIMATELY right technical form and interprete it to the language of practical actions, sensed impressions, atmosphere tones etc, maybe have a glimpse of its soul. Fit that all to be a part of the atmosphere landscape, making the soul better tha in the technical form, allowing exeptions to rhythm and variation: toward more soulful, atmospheric, inspirated.

 Now you have the life in the living in the first place and the mechanical forms in the last place without having forgotten the mechanical form.

Ideal way of life

What then is the ideal way of life like? It is something like the traditional ways of American indians and of the other so called primitive cultures of the world with their close contact with the nature and with their healthy ways of living with their enormous amount of sensory stimulus and other factors which keep us healthy and fully functioning.
But that way of life has to be combined with having the technology: a portable computer, a phone, etc and importantly: modern kind of work to do. It may be that as the time passes, we will find more efficient natural ways to handle the modern work too, but for the time being we just have to combine two different types of building blocks: academically or at least school educated with the technology and natural healthy life with the nature. The latter gives us the capacity and endurancy, the former is what matters a lot in the modern world.
Still, the piece of understanding that I am offering about the value of natural ways of living and natural living environment, may make it possible to change many things in how the cities and modern societies are run, at least on the level of looks and feelings & atmospheres, and that ought to cure a lot of the nasty feelings that people have: we matter after all!

Beauty is our guide to better functioning

You look around yourself and the world shines in its beauty.
If we use some machine against its instructions of usage, it makes a kraah like sound. It is the same with humans.
When we have reached the natural correct way to live, our senses sing. That's our guide to better functioning that our natural tendency to enjoy beauty and things that are according to feelings and the deepest understanding guide us toward.
Life really is a great panorama of natural music to some: that's why we still love music.
Seeing the world answer centeredly, i.e. the human nature and health centeredly, makes the world look beautiful, shiningly, effortlessly, enjoyably, efficiently - that is the beauty of nearly full functioning.
Full functioning is something even better.
