Vision

I remember a funny thing. A big telescope where people used to look at the stars. One famous astrophysician explain to one old lady that this device help them to demonstrate how the Universe is born.
The lady, unimpressed, told him:
-My husband can do that with a pen and a piece of paper.

(It was the ex-wife of Albert Einstein)

The dream of Paisie

Anno domini 1696. My name is Paisie the valachian, i am living in Athos and i write this to remember, because strange and unknown are the ways of our God. Everything started with a dream, but was so real, like another life. In this dream i am living in somebody's body, a body so weak and  a will weaker than that. In this future world people live without fear, without shame. They don't care about the one who is in need and they did not hekp each other. They just work, collecting curious things even if they not need them. They do not love, they have relations. They almost forget what a great creature the human is. The measure of the all things. They have greater and greater knowledge about the universe and the world in which they live, but they forget about their heart. About their soul. Greedy, selfish, full of their importance, they live and die without doing anything important. What a life! Yes, they know a lot, but not about the most important things. I almost cry because of their existence. May the holy archangels to be with them!

Year 2003. I wake up and i just remember what a strange dream i had. I was a monk living somewhere in Greece and my name was Paisie. And i was doing something important, but i wake up and i forget. Eh, dreams! Doesn't matter anyway.

What i feel now?

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
ché la diritta via era smarrita.

(Dante Alighieri)

Quote of the day

If i find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, then only logical explanation is that i was made for another world.
