Today, we live in the big city, and exchange money for food. But a few generations ago, our ancestors obtained food left to their own resources, and brought it home. When the trees bear fruit, when the salmons go up the river, when the edible wild plants grow well in the mountain, and when the bears awake from hibernation, they know all instinctively. They laid plans for the year with experiential knowledge. That knowledge has been hand down from generation to generation, and no doubt we keep it in mind. Some people cannnot live comfotably without bearing "Lapland" in mind. In old times, people read nature so precisely, they could bag game and get nourishment. Although the instinct and the ability have been declining noticeably, we can still feel them. Adapt a way of life to nature with pliability and flexibility. Imagine that you are standing all alone on the boundless field of Lapland. Breathe in the fresh air so slowly and so deeply... And you would be back to what you used to be one thousand years ago or ten thousand years ago... Perhaps you might be back to the moose or reindeer... Lapland is such a magical and miraculous world...
