Monks of the west

 solitude  says a venerable ecclesiastic of the day "solitude is the mother country of the strong - silence is their prayer"

nowhere has the human race in its joys and sorrows found sympathies more living and productive than under the frock of a monk

Laurus, eugene vodolazkin


Animals have souls but the soul is kindred to their bodies and contained in their blood, mind you people did not eat animals until the flood, they spared their souls, for an animals soul dies with its body

What is a soul? Arseny asked. It is what the lord breathes into a body, what distinguishes us from rocks and plants

Weep and pray o arseny and do not fear death, for death is just the bitterness of parting. It is also the joy of liberation

why are there no names on the graves
because they are already known to the lord
in 100 years no one will know who they belonged to







dante, divene comedy


Midway upon the journey of our life
  I found myself within a forest dark,
  For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
