After quitting/ Of my view when I was a child

 I think I remember that when I was a child (it ought to have been on the latter half of the 1970's or the year 1980), either under school age or in the very first classes of school, my mom asked me, since I had a good theoretical head, what was it in folk tradition that woukd stay in these modern times as times change and the world devoloos toward more technologised but develoos also in other respects, some old drops away but something of it stays too. We had read about old Finnish Christmas gnome like gnones or the subject somehow got chosen because shops and slme who had been said to suit foreigners, had a somewhat Christmas like liking in styles. And so I told of principles, of what at least was the idea in old tines thing, lije for example to get things work out well, there were skills and values cultivated and places where such tasks were the idea, like for example a weavibg feamework used for weaving fabrics and the space near by kept well for just that purpose, not other objecrs there or other use, except maybe for fine culture that is benefical for such a work and it's values, like taking part in singing songs. Or that the weathers and tines of the year do affect life also in the modern world, and thst life is better so, more fractureless in an ages old way. I do not remember anymore what I said, but the beginning of the English version of book "Tontun vuosi" somehow reminded me of such, as if I has said that then it is impirtant to mention that... It was as if I had dictated something of it and my parents said they will see what they get from it, will others accept, as if it had been an interesting project for them. 

Today morning as I walked past the Finnish and English versions of the book Tontun vuosi, it is as if a cousin of mine whom I have not met so many times, had marked it tgat gnomes are taken away since it is a book made by a child and so it somehow was allowed to take such life away, she claimed, but it did not seem right at all, it ought not be alliwed to destroy the pissibilutues for such life, especially since it is a fact book like book, not so much stories. All traditions cannot be folliwed as times chsnge, but what there is good in them ought to be alliwed to continye in ways that are for the good of the world. I do not know if story books vary according to the readers, some thinking of it, some producing nonsense. So one ought not group them all to the same.
