Now it is midsummer, again! I say this to make it sound like a comparison with Christmas; 'now it is Christmas again!, we sing for half a year and celebrate the highlight. Both festivals have tons of Christian traditions and values with new additions, at least for Christmas with the commerce which bursted in discount sales! One and another element we have left from the time we were pagans and had other gods to relate to. Our farming culture, which followed the seasons and traditions, extant in many places and is in full bloom, especially at Midsummer. A and other residue from the culture, we can still stumble across if we take ourselves out of congestion on the network and the intoxication that mobile brings in sharp contrast with schnapps midsummer herring.
It is pleasant to have a look back at what created the feeling of happiness at certain times and weekends sooner. Even what you have not experienced yourself, but you can read about. And it's a great feeling to find an occasional little of what was the gold grains in the mix. Maybe you can even feel the finstämdheten and become a little sentimental without being embarrassed or sorry..
Like now. At Midsummer! The feast that is spiced with all the most amazing nature gives us, just nu, when it is in full bloom and meaning. There are experiences that we want to share. And we want to share with you.
Many remember the long and midsummer festivities crowned festival. Between two and three thousand came to the long and celebrated Midsummer with an extensive festive program in the national class with contemporary best entertainers and musicians. The dance floor and Skansen, Långå Skans, was the residence of experiences. The dance lasted fifteen hours, on three evenings. Långå Skans arrived after the peace of the Brömsebro 23 August 1645, then Härjedalen, became Swedish. Some thought war and strife, it was not. Peace, no war!, can you say about this redoubt that was reused for pleasure and new traditions sake. Then were long midsummer highlight of the celebration and fellowship in three days.
Although the extensive celebrations dwindled to a picnic with a few villagers, so is the feeling of midsummer celebrations remain. Any, who prepared their fishing to long, asked if there is a pub where you can have a beer and kick up your heels. It is in any case Midsummer! I understand the idea and ambition as part of today's midsummer celebration and have full respect for the. Of the thoughtful replies indicate that this is where you are on a fishing trip and thoughts of any pub is remote. It is right to interpret and clearly made by those who with their experience interpreting the meaning of the fishing trip in long.
A tour of Långåfisket is a greater experience than fishing itself! There are experiences and content of the long and hard to describe but tangible experience. I understand those who get separation anxiety upon departure from here. And I understand that longing is impatient. Of course there are explanations for download in the atmosphere here. Maybe that denhär:
A few days ago, The Girl, a loved horse, reached the infirmity that affects every living thing in the end. The suffering had come to an end and after thirty horses got Tösen sleep in blossom scent on the farm that has been working and caring home. Spiltan remained, filled sadness alleviated by memories, but with persistent emptiness. If this is said often that it is så'nt happens. Sure. And then there's nothing more to it. Or?
But this preservation event experience of the village community, with completely open grief and loss of the horse owner and all who knew Tösen and open compassion and declaration of love to the owner, coworker, from his partner. It is allowed to enjoy community in all stages of life! Even the longing for a horse.
Could this be one of many reasons for the claim of the harmonious balance between quality of life and the natural quality available in long. And, Maybe it!
When the sun is at its highest, not reach a higher. the rather.
Happy Midsummer to all!
