The lemon trees in our monastery garden. As you know, the lemons will ripen and turn yellow at the end of December. Then the nuns make a traditional lemon preserve. If anyone is passing by - welcome to try it, 😊.

In a few sentences, things that need to be kept in mind about contemporary politics and politicians from the pen of the philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. #WGnoseology, here: davidninov.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/y...

Philosopher Isaiah Berlin introduces the term “secular clergy,” a term used to denote intellectuals who blindly defend the political demagogy of literally any government, as well as its crimes. The “secular clergy” is a crack in the dam of every state, without exception! #WGnoseology

Today, #politics as it is, is an overrated thing. In a conversation with the great novelist #SvetislavBasara, he says: Theology (read: art too) must wait for the notables to gorge themselves! #WArt

“I am not I. I am this one walking invisibly beside me, who sometimes I manage to see, and sometimes I forget; who remains silent while I talk, who forgives, gently, when I hate, the one who goes where I do not go, who will remain standing when I die”. #Jiménez #Poetry #Magritte #Painting #WArt

#Poetry is not everyday life! Poetry begins with the renuncian of everyday life, which does not mean an escape from reality at all, but rather signifies the avoidance of the prosaicness of existence. Everyday life must pass through poetry in order to become reality! #ReadingPoetry #WArt

Under the open sky in our Monastery, screenings of art films, with discussions. The purpose of art is to announce why man lives and what is the meaning of his existence! After all, even the way someone makes coffee is connected to art, because art is any form of creativity. #WArt

“Man is the measure of all things”, #Protagoras, i.e. man is a criterion for evaluating existence. But no one has and cannot have a monopoly on the topic of man. Consequently, which man? #HugoSimberg #TheWoundedAngel

#Socrates believes that education is not a collection of learned information. For him, educated people are those who control unpleasant circumstances, rather than being controlled by them, those who are not defeated by misfortunes and their own failures! #IKnowThatIKnowNothing #ByzantinePortrait

Poet, lead the way! Poets are silent when the people expect the truth from them! Poet, do not let yourself be deceived. The people want to hear what they themselves have invented. That will be their truth, not yours! Do not bend your neck, go ahead of expectations. #Kornhauser #Magritte #WArt

The #EcologicalCrisis is not only a scientific or social issue - it is also a theological one. Theology calls humanity to reject selfish exploitation and rediscover its role as steward of creation through love, asceticism, Eucharist, and collective action. davidninov.wordpress.com/2025/01/27/c...
