Вера в большом городе
17.06.2013 Проблема выбора, поиск свободы не минует вопроса о смысле жизни и веры в Бога. Каждый человек рано или поздно приходит к поиску смысла жизни. Это вопрос основопологающий, без чего жить нельзя.Выбор, который нам предоставляет сделать судьба определяет нашу жизнь. Чужой путь редко даёт радость, и только «следование своему пути приносит чувство мира»[1]. «Мы всегда остаёмся собой, другой личностью мы не станем никогда, но своё «я» мы можем испортить и покалечить, то есть потерять свой путь»[2]. Чтобы не потерять себя и преодолевать трудности, необходимо «мужество и смирение; впрочем мужество и смирение, правильно понятые, это одно и то же. Смирение без мужества превращается в трусость, капитуляцию перед внешней силой, мужество без смирения превращается в дерзость, желанием ответить ударом на удар»[3].
Есть в нашей жизни такой феномен, как монашество. Его очень сложно объяснить, а понять без внутреннего опыта почти невозможно.
Кто-то вовсе не задумывается об этом, иные – предпочитают не замечать, третьи видят в нём некую достопримечательность или экзотику. Считается, что монах – «мертвец для мира, поскольку перестаёт жить мирскими понятиями, чувствами и желаниями», даже «монашеский постриг похож на обряд погребения»[4].
Радость монаха -его одиночество, внутреннее и внешнее удаление от мира. Так, апостол Павел, когда увидел, что проповедь его не достигает цели, уехал в Тарс, где он родился и жил, и 5 лет занимался богомыслием, перечитывал Священное Писание, рассуждал, старался понять суть воли Бога. Даже в общежительных монастырях многие, кто хотел быть только с Богом, оставляли братию свою и уходили в отшельничество: кто на острова, кто в горы, кто в пещеры. Так, например, Иоанн Лествичник – игумен Синайского монастыря – 40 лет провёл в пещере. Ради чего? Ради того, чтобы быть одному? Ради того, чтобы понять свой внутренний мир, чтобы увидеть свои мысли и желания, увидеть свою прожитую жизнь.
Монах-это не только человек «один» или «одинокий», но и «единый». Монах – единый как личность, он свободен «от оков мира, от плена его понятий и представлений»[5]. Центром и смыслом своего бытия монах видит в единении с Богом. Монашество – это тайна любви человеческой души к Богу и Бог открывается как непостижимый покой, а земная жизнь с её текучестью и временностью предстаёт как полужизнь.
Понять суть монашества можно, лишь пережив и прочувствовав его, правдивее и откровеннее о нём написано в сердцах людей. Об этом и пойдёт речь.
По словам сына священника, сейчас – человека, работающего юристом по уголовному праву и трезво смотрящего на мир, – в 90 е годы в монастыри шли неофиты, они быстро разочаровывались и уходили, кто-то продержался дольше, кто-то совсем прижился, но прижились в основном приспособленцы-тёртые калачи, а не неофиты-романтики…
Однажды в переполненном людьми автобусе, ехавшем по городу, мне довелось стать свидетелем интересного разговора. Беседовали двое, спорили о монашестве. Один из них - мой приятель Евгений, смотрящий на мир с широко открытыми глазами, другой – уже бывший монах. Было ему 18 лет и казалось, что что-то в жизни не получалось и не складывалось, впрочем, как кажется многим в этом возрасте, и кто-то посоветовал ему поехать в монастырь, пожить…и в первый же год жизни в монастыре он стал монахом, о чём потом пожалел. Пребывание его в монашестве было как дуновение ветра, дыхание – внезапным, кратким, но таким, без чего уже не мыслишь себя, не можешь жить, как не можешь жить без воздуха. Этот человек сделал свой выбор «уйти», однако жить по-другому уже не мог. О чём и признавался моему приятелю: «Если у меня будет семья, это будет отступление от пути, это уже совсем не то». «Что это было? Промысел Божий? Прихоть игумена?» – рассуждал о своём прошлом уже бывший монах. Евгений старался разубедить и искренне утешить «падшего ангела», говорил о промысле и воле Божией, и всё никак не хотел верить в слова своего собеседника: «Нынешнее монашество – это конвейер. Решение принять монашество должно быть взвешенным, осознанным, проверенным временем и очищенным от обид на прошлое. На все твои красивые слова, я отвечу только одно: я так не могу!».
О дальнейшей судьбе этого человека мне ничего не известно, а вот мой приятель, 24-летний парень из благополучной семьи, перспективный, не более как полгода назад удивил всех, кто его знал, своим выбором – он принял монашество. Его друзья и знакомые никак не могли осмыслить причину такого поступка, но ясно осознавали, что с этих пор между нами возникла некая дистанция. Он отрёкся от мира, и для него началась другая жизнь, исполненная новой духовной радости.
После пострига всё тот же Евгений встречал нас в гостинице монастыря, только смотрел на нас совсем иным взглядом, это уже взгляд отца Александра – такое имя ему дали в монашестве. Глаза его были наполнены тихим светом, небывалым до того спокойствием и умиротворением. И, казалось, этим глазам открылось нечто, что было для нас неизвестно и о чём мы могли только мечтать.
Монашеский путь – это возвышенный путь духовного служения, пройти который удаётся далеко не каждому. «Чувствительность сердца должна быть тонкой, как листок сусального золота, – писал старец Паисий Святогорец. – Монах думает о страданиях людей, его душа болит за всё человечество, и из сердца его непрерывно изливается молитва за мир».
«Монастыри – тихая пристань; они подобны светочам, которые светят людям, приходящим издалека, привлекая всех к своей тишине», – сказал святой Иоанн Златоуст. Многие века люди приходят в монастыри: мужчины и женщины, молодые и старые, богатые и бедные. Что ищут они там? Себя? Смысл жизни? Впрочем, это область веры и сюда с земными понятиями не подойдёшь.

In 1982 Mandela was moved from Robben Island to the maximum security Pollsmoor Prison outside Cape Town. The authorities offered official administrative reasons for the move, but most observers agree that Mandela was simply exerting a powerful influence over the other inmates of Robben Island. Mandela spent much of the next six years in solitary confinement, bolstered by a weekly 30-minute visit with his wife. He was offered a conditional freedom in 1984--provided that he would settle in the black “homeland” of Transkei--but he absolutely refused this option, affirming his allegiance to the ANC. And the New York Times Biographical Service reported that P. W. Botha, then president of South Africa, offered Mandela complete freedom in 1985 in return for his renunciation of violence, “but he refused to do so until the government granted blacks full political rights.”
Inevitably, Mandela’s health deteriorated. In 1988 he was hospitalized with tuberculosis. After he recovered he returned to prison, but under somewhat more benign circumstances. By the late 1980s, social conditions in South Africa had become even more desperate, with violent confrontations between young blacks and government forces. The international tide was also turning against South Africa. Many private enterprises and national governments withdrew financial support for the beleaguered nation, and the resulting economic downturn literally forced the South African government to reconsider its dedication to apartheid. Finally, after 27 years, the white leadership heeded the calls from citizens of numerous nations to release the most important political prisoner of the late twentieth century, Nelson Mandela. The winds of change were also spurred by the ascension of F. W. de Klerk to the presidency of South Africa after Botha suffered a mild stroke. Named as acting state president, de Klerk was elected to a five-year term as president in September of 1989. A reformer, de Klerk released several anti-apartheid leaders. According the New York Times Biographical Service, de Klerk then legalized the ANC and 60 other formerly banned organizations, “clearing the way for Mr. Mandela’s release. Though apartheid and security laws remained in place, he said he was accepting freedom to work for peace.” Freed at Last In what was one of the most notable events of the year, the entire world watched on February 11, 1990, as Mandela--thin and gray but unbowed--walked out of Verster Prison. Writing about Mandela’s release for the New York Times Biographical Service, Robert D. McFadden noted that “anyone could see that the years of prison had ravaged only the body, not the spirit; they had, if anything, solidified his resolve and raised his stature as the embodiment of black liberation.” Indeed, cheering crowds met him at every turn in South Africa. Mandela told People, “I was completely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm. It is something I did not expect.” In his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, he later added, “I saw a tremendous commotion and a great crowd of people, hundreds of photographers and television cameras and news people as well as thousands of well wishers. I was astounded and a bit alarmed. I had truly not expected such a scene.” WQ |

It's no strange thing for a designer to find inspiration in a work of art, but Giovanna Randall's starting place for Honor's Resort 2014 collection was virtually created in her own backyard.Randall cited the 1900 Paul Cornoyer painting "After the Rain, the Dewey Arch, Madison Square Park" as the source for this collection's color palette. That explains the yellows, grays, browns, and pale shades of putty here — though they're punched up with a few pieces, like a pleated skirt and a silky t-shirt, in bright pink.The construction of the clothes also takes its cues from the period: Randall said she liked "the ease and sort of drippy feel of the shapes," but wanted to add a modern twist. That meant casting aside corsets, but keeping full sleeves and making them decorative (as she did with a lovely yellow evening gown), and letting most of the pieces here float generously away from the body.
If the abundance of grosgrain stripes and allover florals weren't indication enough, let it be known: Carolina Herrera was "all about prints" for Resort 2014. But despite the turn to more whimsical, irreverent patterns, she never veered away from her signature uptown elegance. Case in point: abstract prints took shape on palazzo pants, giving the ladies-who-lunch set something to talk about; ball gowns came rife with cotton candy pink and baby blue stripes; and exaggerated watercolors bloomed on trumpet-skirt silhouettes. With a mostly ladylike lineup — dresses for day and night, with just a few separates for those in-between occasions — it came as a pleasant surprise to spot clear-strap sandals and colorblocked lace-up pumps as the finishing touch. Summer is finally here! We (almost) thought it wouldn't ever come, but we are making sure to celebrate it right. That means your go-to guide for what to pack on those glamorous Summer getaways and — as always — oodles and oodles of street style. And for when that's not enough?
