First Summary

Summer has come without noticing. Next weekend is the midsummer festival and we have reached the highest point of the northern summer. After this the day starts to grow shorter and shorter.
This was some how shocking for me to realize. I think I have been living in some kind of never ending spring phase in my life. When did all the snow melt away? When did the night frost stop coming?
When did the tree leafs grow in their full size?

I'm now convinced, that I have been definitely too focused in all the wrong things in life. If you can't notice time passing by and seasons changing, it is definitely time to stop. Stop running and take a deep breathe. After all I moved here in Lapland so I could enjoy all the four seasons. Where the life phase is slower.
To have stress-free life. And yet I'm carrying the stress with me.

I know, I'm good at being concerned and stress about things. But I truly hope I could learn to be more relaxed. More trustful towards life and it's habit to carry things in the right direction.

It is not too late yet. I have still half of the summer ahead of me. I have still time to enjoy.
I promise to myself I will do so.

Giilavárri - Se joka menee ylös, on sen myös tultava alas

Kuva
Vesisateen, tuulen ja pakkasen kovettama lumi oli puolimatkaan saakka niin jäistä, että edes hankiraudat eivät tahtoneet pitää. Tämä ei ollut kovinkaan yllättävää, olimmehan seuranneet säätietoja. Kovat tuulen puuskat myös aika-ajoin työnsivät kiusallisesti joka suuntaan. Tämäkin oli odotettavissa. Kompuroimme kuitenkin lopulta ylhäällä odottavaan kuruun, jossa lumi muuttui pehmeämmäksi. Kiipesimme ylös kurun jyrkkää peräseinää ja odotukset alkoivat olla paremmat, ehkä tästä kuitenkin vielä hyvät laskut saataisiin! Kun pääsimme kurusta tasaisemmalle maalle, hyökyi tuuli päällemme huippuharjanteen takaa käsittämättömällä voimalla. Kasvot oli pakko paketoida puffeihin ja huppuun. Näkökenttä kapeni olemattomaksi. Laskulasit olisivat olleet repussa, mutta ei niitä uskaltanut alkaa kaivamaan, etteivät irtotavarat lentäisi tuulen matkaan. Olin ehdottomasti mukavuusalueeni ulkopuolella. Huipulle oli vielä matkaa vajaa 100 metriä. Päätettiin lähteä yrittää. Ärsyttäisi näin lähellä kääntyä tak

Kuuraista Kiveä ~ Climbing in Lapland

I haven't been writing too much lately. As you might have noticed. First it was the exhaustion from the work, then came all the fuzz with corona, then the slush season and finally the outdoor climbing season was fully on. And I wanted to break from the mental chains from this spring and do all the things I graved to do, but for one reason or an other wasn't able to do.           And now to the actual topic of this writing.       I have always loved climbing. Like most of the children. I just never stopped as I grew older. Last autumn I found climbing in my life at a totally new level. Suddenly I had a whole group of adults around me, for whom climbing was a serious hobby and a way of life. I was thrilled and excited. I started training at indoor climbing wall. And I developed fast as a climber. I felt like, I had found yet an other thing in my life that I love and I'm good at. Then came corona and closed our climbing wall. I kept training my muscles and fingers at home. And
