"Forest was the old times forest dweller's church"

 Thinking of churches, have I had any goal or dream of such? I did not come to think of any dream of mine by just such words or from such a viewpoint. It onle came to my mind tgat there is an old saying "Metsä on jätkän kirkko."= "The forest is the church of a forest guy." which to me has been mostly just a dream or an ideal from far away past times in Finland. The ideal is that the complexity and beauty of nature, in some ages old fracturelessness, would make things right. Like a garden does for one exhausted from city life, but garden has square edges so would a whole landscape and near areas too of nature be better, wiser? On the other hand people used to city life often spend just some moments or some days in the summer cottage interested in the beauty and wisdom of nature, and start then long for also more town like things to do, and as time passes even many more of tgem. So just looking how life goes countryside maybe isn't the answer. Short moments in the beauty of nature in some park like recreation area near where one lives seens more like the answer. Like when the weather hits one's face when one goes out, forcing one pay attention to the environment and to the needs of skills in living there, instead of continuing on stuck tracks like often hapens for social reasons. So grasping the moment, being with the weather and with the beauty of nature around, can lift fine-tuned skills to be the basic current of living, and so one is wise again. And that is the dream, even though with higher wisdom, more from the point of view of the good of the whole world and the beauty of nature bringing the atmospheric sensitivity needed.
