Raining today

Kanske dags att skriva något här detta år också. Snart vårdagjämning. Jag tycker det är något att notera för att nu börjar dagen till och med bli längre än natten. Så här långt upp i norr. 

Det verkar som att våren är långt borta, för vi har stora snöhögar, men idag regnar det i alla fall. 

Maybe time to write something here also this year. I note that tomorrow days will even longer than the nigt, as we go towards midsummer. This far north midsummer means the sun does not go below the horizon at all. 

Right now it seems spring is far away, raining and large piles of snow outside.

I still have a couple of Anna Kempe books in the shelf, should somebody be interested to see what she told about her life in India, 200 years ago, at the Nepali border.

Hylla med Anna Kempe bok / Bookshelf with Anna K books

In Korsholm library there is an ongoing project with a shelf for swapping books, I decided to start one also, at home. So the Anna Kempe book is for sale in Vörå hemslöjd r.f for 25 euros. I also sell it here at home for the same price, and the other books in the shelf for about 5-10 euros. Because I every week swap 1-3 books in Korsholm, I will make new photos of my "homeshelf" with Anna Kempe and the new books I have added to the Collection that week.

Also in Instagram I tell more about the books that at the moment are in the home bookshelf.

Anna Kempe learned tibetan writing together with a young man. Together they translated the Bible and had their own christian magazine.  Anna would certainly had been on Instagram also had it been possible in her lifetime.

Anna started as a schoolteacker in Kronoby here on West Coast, Finland. But when she had worked as teacher for about seven years, she heard about Tibet in China from the priest at that that time in the Church of Kronoby.

She was not afraid to take on a new project and first thing she started with was applying for a missionary education programme, first in Helsingfors and then in London. The education period was around three years before she could travel to India. She could not travel all the way to Tibet, but in the region around Darjeeling in northern India, between Nepal and Bhutan, the people in the mountin villages used several languages, inclusive tibetan. The region vas a valley where people living in mountainvillages higher up in the Himalayas passed by with things they wanted to sell or had bought.

Ocean colours

Anna Kempe travelled four times in her life over the Indian Ocean. That is why I have started thinking how she experienced the colours of the Sea. She writes she is reading and writes letters together with a friend on deck. But she must have lifted her eyes from the text in the book in beteween. I wish I could have been in her shoes, timetravelled a bit with her. And seen the colours of the sea. Aqaurelle painting was not her thing, I guess. But it is a hobby I have. Or  would like to start with again.
