On the way home

The time had come

Snow was melting

Sun was big and warm

The darkness gave way to the light

It was time to go back

To The South

I packed my few belongings

And lifted my little back bag on my shoulders

I was ready

I gave a last longing look

To the three mountains

I would miss them

A small red bubble

Was standing on my cabin's front door

What the heck?

Next to the bubble was standing Jeti

He glanced me shyly

"I want to come with you."

I smiled

Leaving Jeti here

Would had been the hardest thing to do

As it turned out

The red bubble was some kind of a vehicle

We stuffed our self in

And started rolling south

On the way

We could see

The summer coming

Faster and faster

Like a one whole season

Just winding past us

The moment was ours

Our own little road trip

We enjoyed the way

and stopped for any wonder

Like for The Dancing Swan

Though Jeti said

That it probably just had fleas

But I wanted to believe

It was dancing for The Lady Spring

"There is a canyon on the left."

"Where?!"

"I dunno. The sign just said 'a canyon on the left'."

It was called

The WallMountain's Canyon

And  in the evening gloom
It was pretty amazing

Loving high places
I was thrilled
On the edge of the canyon
Jeti was uneasy
He had sometimes started to fear for me

At the bottom of the canyon
Was really dark
You could feel the big stone walls above you
The air was heavy and moist
I wanted back up
Where I could feel light again

Jeti liked it here
He found some comfort
From the darkness and the big walls around him
We felt like the fairy and the troll
From the children song

Arrival to The South
Didn't feel like coming home
I wondered
If I had never really felt
Like home here

'Home is were your heart is'
They say
And from many crossroads
I have been in my life
Many beautiful souls
Still carries a peaces of my heart
With them
I always feel like home

I glanced at Jeti
And I knew
In his white soft fur
I would make my home now

Isokuru ja Uhriharju / The DeepCanyon and The SacrificeHill

Pyhätunturi / The HolyHill

It was a very windy day

I climbed on top of the the GoldenHill

The first of the HolyHills

It was hard to stand up in the wind

I enjoyd the sun warming my skin

And the wind roaring around me

Ripping my clothes

In the west I could see the other two

The second one was called The God's Hat

And behind that

Was the greatest of them all

The WitchHill

 Today I would walk trough The DeepCanyon

Which lies between The GoldenHill and The God's Hat

They say it's the deepest canyon in Finland

I can believe that

After doing some unpurposed clift hanging

I found the path leading to the canyon

At the mouth of the canyon

They were trying to stop me

Yeah, right

I'll take this as an invitation

To an adventure

At first

The canyon is actually two smaller canyons

The BearCanyon and The LampioCanyon

 I couldn't translate "lampio" to anything clever

The google told me

That it is just a rare surname in Finland

Like every fifth person in Finland has a rare surname

Anyway

Lam-pi-o without o is a pond

And shovel without m

The path leads the traveller

On a narrow and high hill

Between these smaller canyons

Before they join to each other

To make The DeepCanyon 

This narrow high hill

Surrounded by canyons

Is called The SacrificeHill

They say

The old Sami people used to come here

And sacrifice for the spirits

To get some hunting luck

I don't wonder why they came here

It really feels like a sacret place

I stand quiet

My eyes closed

Sensing the old air

The old energy

I leave a piece of my granolabar for the spirits

And ask them protection

Before I continue my journey

The path to the bottom of the canyon

Is really steep and slipery

Where there is stairs at summer time

Is now just an icy slide

When I'm slideing down

Way too fast

And saving my self from couple 90 degree turns

I wish I had a GoPro 

 At the bottom lies an other sacred place

(Well dah, this is The HolyHills)

The frozen waterfall and pond

Called The HolyWaterfall of Baptism

And The Holypond of Baptism

Like the whole hillside area

This was also a sacred place for old Sami people

So when the Christians came

And wanted to give a baptism to Sami people

They fulfill the rite in the holy water of the waterfall 

In the waterfall

I found an icecave

As a kinda small person

I was able to crowle in

Standing in the cave

I could feel

The holy water dripping on me

It was a kind of baptism

It felt nice

I thanked God for leading me to this place

And protecting me on my way 

As I walked further to the canyon

Sun started to set

And shadows woke up around me

The moon came to keep me company

I could feel the evening magic

All around me

As I walked home

The night had already come

And the old God send me His regards

A thought came from my hearth

Full of love

I'm really lucky

Blessed
