Ого, сейчас прочитала потрясающий отзыв о пребывании в нашей церкви Дженни. Дженни - поэт, поэтому даже мне со знанием английского языка трудно все понимать в её поэзии, но в основном всё понятно. Она стала к нам приходить недавно, очень красиво читает и хорошо знает церковные тексты. Очень тепло от её слов. ❤️
«This is my amazing, beautiful new church. It has an incubatory, buttery yellow ambience like when, at night as a child in the country, crickets are chirping and, since you are little- you are sent to bed early while
dim lamps that are the color of soft, neon beer glow and flood your open door and you feel sealed/vouchsafed in a warm, quilted sleeping bag where invisibly you are constantly checked on the same way The Church holds you tenderly aloft in its heart (like Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham) and is a Hospital,
and everywhere you are in your new Church is your own adult version of a sleepy, weathered cot and also the way the country farm living room where the adults are still awake playing cards or drinking cola,… all lamp-lit
soothes you in this Orthodox protection just as does the amber safety house that is this Church
and just as the crickets have different chirps, but they go on without tiring in their praise; so my new safety house reinstalls my tenancy in my childhood in heaven changing shifts, switching chanters, the readings steadily continuing the soundtrack of voluptuous glorification
and i do not have to understand the Russian being spoken to know that, yes, they—the Trinity, the saints, the angels, and all those of Memory Eternal, have left the Light on for me.»
