Of woodworks abd skills, and of the Helka hymns

 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.
