I remember my first visit to the church about fifteen years ago. Someone said there was a monastery in Pechersk district of Kiev, where a wonderworking icon of the Mother of God was kept, and, supposedly, if one came there early in the morning, stood at the entire first acathistus and prayed, he or she could ask for certain things, and everything would come true. Yes, this was exactly how I memorized it fifteen years ago: “ask, and everything will come true”. A bait of miracle and wishes fulfilment in those rather troubled times. And I certainly went there, not so much for the sake of asking, but rather to see the icon which was so miraculous to fulfil all people’s wishes. Was it really wonderworking? Just to mention, I was not gullible at all, quite the contrary, but for some reason the mysterious wonderworking icon and the nationwide worship of the Mother of God – the authority – became convincing for me.
Online seismographs that recorded seismic activity in the Yellowstone supervolcano area and used to be available for the public have been shut, thus the world can no longer observe what’s happening there. Quite staggering news, isn’t it?
An activate mechanism for writing this article was my bewilderment on why newsreaders, journalists and reporters on TV talk quite unusually for normal people, putting a certain emotional shade into every word, a certain emphasis that excludes any objections regarding what they are saying. A totally logical question arose: why? And since this is practiced by all modern TV channels I know, I’ve decided to get to the heart of the matter and find an answer.
On the occasion of the Annunciation of Our Most Holy Lady...
“Life is approaching,” he says to me, and his deep blue eyes are luxuriating in heaven.
“Where?” I ask a little confusedly. He, so unusually close, drops his eyelids, and his light eyelashes like ripe ears shield the fathomless heaven that has stood still in his eyes.
I understand without any words. It is he who is now living. The boundless blue waters of heaven have spread inside him.
