Juhani Aho kirjoitti lastuja. Minä ajattelin yrittää lumihiutaleita. Sitä miten talvikokemukset kirjallistuvat pieniksi tarinoiksi. Nämä ovat talventuntoja kansatieteilijän näppäimistöltä.

Otsikkokuva on arkinen ja arki on kansatieteen tutkimuskenttä. Tämän ikkunan takana raottelin lastenhuoneen verhoja kymmeniä vuosia takaperin - josko maa olisi jo valkoinen.

HARD FACES

(WHO IS CRAZY - THE OLD MEN IN POWER ARE - STILL, WHY)

newz make me desperate
         want to close away the world
                  glass of whisky,
                  ...descending into my mysteries
                  october make me fall

...darkness, silence, mist, high spruces silhouette, sauna, whisky, long hours, autumn = mysticism, turn inside, reality rationalism fade away, journeys inside, reflecting in space...

... ... ...
     ... ... ... ...

days go by

longing for a snowflake
on the darkest hour of autumn

praying for a teardrop
in the eye of a hard face leader

black turn white
only few degrees away
         (critical 1,5 c° degrees)

anticorrupted antiegoistic wisdom
just change the angle of your face
         ...shadows ease away
         (saw Grave of the Fireflies)

mercy

LITTLE SISTER
...li'l sis...

where do they go
if not to tomorrow(s)

you,
         hard faces
         hardened hearts

You're teasing a child!
         ...shamelesly stealing from a child

and you know better,
         deep inside you do, sure
                  everyone does

         let her,
         lead you

I draw that picture before my 10th birthday. I always loved winter. And I got my snow adwentures. It was the Cold War era, but still the world felt better balanced than now. Cruelty of the world to day is so tiring. Seosonal depression is knocking to get into my head. Rising of temperature makes wet and dark autumns longer.
