Of a circus hobby

 From my text "Wisdom of life for Christmas elves" at LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2023/09 

" A36.   A video of a fine performance of a Russian(?) circus, only riding & riding acrobatics. I used to (autumn 2010 - spring 2011) train my white spitz and my light brown (apricot) poodle for circus, but we never got the performance ready. In training for circus it is fine that one can try one's best and learn new skills in a way that is harmless and positive in the world. In training it is important that one does things in a good quality way and is very motivated, so that one is kind of turned toward developing skills in harmony with others. It is also very important that one wishes well for the world, since then one observes how complex wholes can work well in all places at the same time, which is good for complex skills, and it also makes the skilled individuals fit as parts of the whole world. In such beautiful civiliced values and wisdom of life are important: what to invest in, what makes complex wholes work well. Beautiful music with it's wisdom of life offers one side of such skills, of harmony with happiness, which is also one way a circus performance can look good. That is good for developing skills as a group since each one can do things in one's own way but with the aim toward hogher skills, which is also one of the major reasons why circus interests the audience. 

My dogs continued by reading the local newspaper which was an arts oriented place with summer cottages in the surrounding countryside and the art happening was high culture and so oriented toward doing something great in the world from the point of view of wisdom of life with feelings and offering the fine Finnish or more widely civiliced cultural inheritage for the younger generations so as to safeguard good life for all fairly in the future too. 

A37.   22nd of September 2023   Of making some circus like performance, it is born of what is natural for each of the performers and what is good for the world. First one practices jyst ordinary hobby like skills that one is interested in, like as a child having a colourful gummiball called "superball" which bounces just finely in varied ways and is colourful and somewhat transparent to look at, so it varies according to how light hits it. Then one has ordinary hobbies which often have many interesting sides. Especially learning to play piano/keyboard or some other music instrument via going to piano lessons and practising, teaches how life can have many sides and what kind of observation ability teaches wisdom of life that is good for happiness in an ages old way and good for skills. Likewise sports hobbies can have many sides, since ways of living are reflected in ways of keeping the body in ways suited to those areas of life. Also admiring the magnifient beauty of nature and reading teach some wider understanding that is good for skills. When one has such a background and wants some one type of performance, it is born of what is natural and fascinating as skills for oneself, like for someone throwing hulahula rings to the air would go nicely, whike someone else would be good with safety precautions and a dare, figuring out something like a jump through a burning ring.
