FYI I do smile occasionally.

The Superfluous man in Twenty-First Century wonderland.

For some practical details:
I am a chef by profession, though for now I am working as a sacristan/attendant for the Lutheran Church (this is not a calling and I can't find my spiritual home here, reason for this is that the job is easy and the pay is decent). I come from Finland,  a little town called Muhos.

So what do I enjoy in life? One of the most important things to me is nature; rivers, lakes and their pikes and perches, swans and squirrels, birches and spruces of the Finnish forest. The frost, darkness and silence of a wintery night. The ecstatic light and warmth, sounds and scents of middle summer. I am glad to be able to capture these feelings and moments in a photograph or just ponder their sheer existence.
I love hiking and fishing, gathering berries and other ingredients from the nature and cooking with them. But I also like to do gardening and see the labor of my hands bear fruit afterwards.
Family, friends and relatives mean the world to me, and as life progresses so does their significance increase. We all are in debt to our forefathers.


I was born in the year 1992 and throughout my life by chance and fortune I have been able to succumb to the pleasures of the modern individualistic and hedonistic welfare state of Finland. One would think that would lead to subjective happiness and being content with what you have, but instead it lead to a constant search for instant gratification and forgetting that what I have should not be taken for granted. This led to despair and bewilderment; the paradox of hedonism.


I used to be a plain nihilist. I think it was to justify my actions. Nowadays I would consider myself to be an esoteric traditionalist. This means improving yourself spiritually,  improving the physical well being of your body, and constant evaluation of  your values  for the benefit of the surrounding community and thus yourself also. It is a loop that keeps on giving. The stiff dogma of organized religions with their personal God-image is decadence from true tradition. I find that tradition in little daily anecdotes and stories that have come to fruition in the soul-image of different peoples in their respective geographical and spiritual boundaries. This makes me an ethnopluralist as well.

In this increasingly global world people feel more and more alienated from their roots. This leads to a destruction of collective spiritualism and to individualistic stances on all aspects of life. This will further the degeneracy of social cohesion. This affects all and everyone on some level.
One could argue that this is just part of the natural cycle where cultures develop into civilizations which then come crumbling down after the peak of their empire. And so all efforts to stop the destruction of local communities of these cultures are in vain. Indeed that they have exhausted their creative power, explored their possibilities and their faith is predetermined all along. Even considering the aforementioned, I believe late stage capitalism is such a powerful force that it will take a long time before anything decisive happens to it and so we have many moments left to live in this world-image and that is why I wish to improve it.

If you read through all this and still feel you want to have a conversation, then by all means message me and share with me your insights into life

Want to meet people that have Finno-Ugric/Uralic roots. Especially if you have something to tell me about living traditions or discuss the similarities between our languages.

Photography - I find it a perfect way to capture memories, places and emotions. And when you succeed in saving a special memory in an aesthetical way, you feel content.

Hiking.
Philosophy, folk lore, traditions and history are also close to my heart.
