The ressurection of the bear in Finnish Mythology finds its paralell in the fate of Biblical drama; Can we envision Jesus as an animal spirit which continues to circulate in rural traditions with the bear as a murdered and ressurected example?
The life intact with animal life in Finnish forests points to lost care and unity we in urban prisons neglected along the way of separation, the Great Gap between us and animals. Our need to make a distinction between civilized and animal caused great writers to ponder about the lost empire, not the skyskrapers, but the sustainable ecological one. Knut Hamsun realized this romantic return in Mans cycled pull towards sustainability and love. Not the love we desire, but the one we embrace through nature.
