who are their teachers, their parents, their bosses? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Many times people use something
which appears to be good for justify their bad behavior and their lack of
values. Using the fight for civil rights to justify that you don`t want to work
but to still, or using the liberty pretext (of course liberty it is not just a
pretext!) to kill, dealing drugs or prostitution, isn`t make better your deeds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;">Look what the mother of the main character,
named Terry, said to him in this respect: “Terry, that is not the way you
should be thinking at a stage like this in your life. If you keep containing
those thoughts like the rest of our black people, you’re going to be making
excuses just like them to not work for white folks.” P. 7</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These days, I think in all worlds
wide, there is a changing of values, a search for these values, a redefining of
them, for the human society pass in history. But, like priest professor doctor
Dumitru Staniloae says in the book entitled “Jesus Christ or the Restoration of
the Man”, history, the human society, are given to man for preparing him to
receive the Revelation. So the constant search for himself must be a constant
of the man.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The book uses a phonetic translation
of the slang used in conversation by the youngsters. First of all, the language
forms the consciences. The consciences express through language. Than language
study it is an important way to learn about a culture, to understand people.
This book it is a perfect example for that. The slang for somebody unaccustomed
for this type of talking it is a little tiresome.</span></div>

grows to disaster. From refusing to work and making contraband to kill people
it is not so far away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

fashion life, the family`s one, and the life of the young people, living in a
kind of jungle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;">The aggressiveness in all the young characters are doing, their
violence, can`t be a solution. That isn`t a life, but just a visceral trying to
escape sufferance by getting pleasure as much as possible, no matter how and
who do you hurt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;">The opposition to the white
man world it is used all the time to justify the own wrongdoings. At the end,
the destiny it is individual and our deeds define us. A wrong thing can`t be
repaired by doing another wrong thing. I will not suffer less if I will make
people suffer back. An injustice can`t be made right doing at you turn another
injustice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTE07O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTE07O00;">Why to read this book? To
understand! Around us there are so many things about which we know nothing.
Understanding makes us to forgive, to try to be better. </span></div>

<br />
Motto: “Don’t be your own worst enemy.” (pg. 44)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear reader, this book is a collection of lesson about life. <br />
<br />
I read many books before of how to get a better life. All of them are optimistic, but not so realistic. This one has something more: it is very clear written. <br />
<br />
The partition in two sections, the first one identifying the problem and the second showing the solutions, is so logical. <br />
<br />
The author begins his book by telling us about fear; how to deal with it.<br />
<br />
“There is only one way to conquer fear and that is to take action.” (pg. 3)<br />
<br />
The author quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said:<br />
<br />
“Do the thing and you will have the courage.” (Pg. 3)<br />
<br />
The main way to change our life, like the author sais, is to change our sub conscious: “It has also been proven that whatever we picture in our minds repeatedly is looked upon as a “goal” by our subconscious and it will draw us toward it in actual physical reality. (Pg. 5)<br />
<br />
Using negative thinking affects us and attracts bad things upon us: <br />
<br />
“When we worry we are actually vividly picturing what we don’t want to happen, and if we do this on a regular basis we can actually attract the very thing we don’t want. On the other hand, people have used visualization to help them achieve some extraordinary goals in life. (pg.5)”<br />
<br />
“The bad feeling you got was your subconscious trying to warn you of impending danger. (pg. 6)”<br />
<br />
“may have used certain techniques, such as positive affirmations, visualization, or the miraculous power of prayer, but their attitude was one of faith that they would get better instead of expecting to get worse (pg. 7)”<br />
<br />
The secret is to change our mental attitude, for we are free to do it:<br />
<br />
“(…) you have the freedom to choose your mental attitude; that is your choice and your privilege. Although your conscious mind may know the facts, the subconscious part of your mind doesn’t care about facts. It responds to what you believe, even if what you believe is contrary to the truth. This is an amazing law of the mind which few people understand.” (pg. 7)<br />
<br />
Some people healed by graver illnesses because they believed they can: <br />
<br />
“(…) their subconscious mind responded and a healing took place. That is how powerful belief is.” (pg. 8)<br />
<br />
“Remember that your subconscious is linked to your immune system and controls about 90 percent of all your bodily functions including the healing process and the constant renewal of every cell in your body. You need to be very careful what information you feed into your subconscious as it will respond accordingly. It will accept harmful or destructive suggestions just as quickly as it will accept good, positive suggestions, so my advice is do not accept about yourself that which you do not want to be true, as this will become your reality.” (pg. 8)<br />
<br />
How to program our mind? The author answers to this question in just the following chapter title and in its content:<br />
<br />
“Fight Thoughts with Words” (pg. 9)<br />
<br />
“Most people vastly underestimate the power of words. Your words control your life whether you like it or not or believe it or not. The Bible tells us, “The tongue has the power of life and death” “ (Prov. 18:21). (pg. 9)<br />
<br />
“Words are more powerful than conscious thoughts. What we need to do is break this negative thought pattern with spoken words, as spoken words immediately affect the subconscious mind and will override conscious thoughts. If this negative thought pattern is deep rooted and long held, the subconscious will resist these words to begin with but, if you persist, the subconscious will gradually start to accept these new commands.” (pg. 9)<br />
<br />
There is a distinction that the author makes in which way we have to formulate our thoughts. They must be direct, positive, clear: <br />
<br />
“I am wealthy,” (pg. 11)<br />
<br />
Continuing the idea that all things are appreciated by our mind, consider this affirmation:<br />
<br />
“The mind is its own place and can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.” (pg. 12)<br />
<br />
There must be highlighted the pleasant style of the writing. The argumentation develops very logically, from the most general level to details, the convincing argumentation, the use of an essential content only, without inutile complications. This is book for everybody.<br />
<br />
The author has an interesting way of thinking about words! I totally agree, since I also published the book entitled “Identity Sheets” in which I wrote: “The word has its own power, can heal, can materialize thoughts, can be a way towards God, but only if it is spoken or wrote to create communion between people and keeping always the middle path. The word stays at the basis of the Gnosis, in the attempt to explain the un-explainable, guiding the spiritual traveler through the ascending stairs of knowledge: rational, imaginative, and intuitive, and above all, at the conscious nescience. The word is also the vehicle of the prayer, which connect us with the uncreated energies and elevates us from our decayed condition. But we must take care, because, like the sacred texts are saying: “The word of God isn`t a blather”, and even Jesus Christ commands us to have our words simple, “yes” if it is “yes”, and “no” if it is “no”. The holly fathers advices us to not talk much, because this dilute the spiritual load of our words. “Identity Sheets” is trying to show how words become our different identities, how they build around us the world in which we whish to live.”<br />
<br />
The same interesting is the conclusion about, even positive or negative: “(…) in a sense, all words are affirmations (…)” (pg. 13)<br />
<br />
Mister Andy Holligan reiterates the consideration that: “(…) actions do speak louder than words (…)” (pg. 13)<br />
<br />
Exactly because of the power of words, the author tell us: “A word of warning: Affirmations should only be used for good purposes—that means your own good and the good of other people—any attempt to use them in a negative way will surely backfire on you in one way or another.” (pg. 14)<br />
<br />
Very interesting are the “mantras” from the pages 14 – 15. I never see these types of affirmations so clear illustrated into another book: “I get on well with everyone.”<br />
<br />
Must be mentioned that this book benefit by the clear religious inclination of the author, who advices the reader and guide him in which regards the spiritual aspects: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.With God all things are possible.”(pg. 15)<br />
<br />
The author seems to talk to us from his own experience. Some affirmations are surprisingly precise: “For the subconscious mind to accept new programming opposite to the way you’ve been thinking up until now, it will take a minimum of four weeks to notice any change, assuming that you’re using affirmations every day.” (pg. 15) This affirmation it is so likely with the holly fathers words from Phylokalia: “faith that it is working” (pg. 15)<br />
<br />
I think this author is a genius of pedagogic science, presenting us so clear and suggestive examples and explications. Also he is a very skilled specialist in psychology. The tone of the speaking is not so much the one of a teacher who teaches us, but rather one of a friend, a parent’s who share his wisdom with us.<br />
<br />
Nuances are used to encourage us: “You need to realize there’s a big difference between failing at something and being a failure.” (pg. 18)<br />
<br />
We can do almost everything, but: “Selfimposed limitations are like a disease of the mind that needs to be gotten rid of if you are to be successful in life.” (pg. 18)<br />
<br />
Andy Holligan has a vast range of inspirational sources; even Bruce Lee is quoted: “The only limits we have are those we place on ourselves.” (pg. 19). In the same spirit the author says: “The trouble with us is that we think too small and we limit ourselves.” (pg. 50)<br />
<br />
About the commandment to love the fellow creature like we love ourselves, look what the author says: “(…) expectation is a powerful force and is constantly attracting things to us, so doesn’t it make sense to treat all people the way we would like to be treated?” (pg. 31); “Who we are is who we attract.” (pg. 32)<br />
<br />
Maybe in the past we made a bunch on mistakes. Don’t despair!: “One thing God always does is He separates the behavior from the person.” (pg. 32)<br />
<br />
We must watch our tongues, because: “The trouble with that is that once you say or do something you regret, you cannot turn the clock back.” (pg. 33)<br />
<br />
The responses to the various stimulus isn’t something given, but learned. The author advises us how to improve our reactions: “By changing your attitude or belief you also change your emotional response. Isn’t it worth it, just to be happy?” (pg. 34); “(…) a person experiencing revenge could very easily start to experience guilt and fear later on (…)” (pg. 35); “(…) anger turned inward can lead to depression (…)” (pg. 35); “<br />
<br />
In a sense, “you are your world.” As your emotions change, so does your perception. As your perception changes, so does your world. So if you want to change your world, you need to change yourself.” (pg. 36)<br />
<br />
Andy Holligan is very aware about social life. He has a advanced social conscience, which manifest in affirmations like this: “We need to have law and order to protect our citizens, but I’ll be the first to admit that the law is not always fair. In fact, it seems as if everything today is geared in favor of the criminal instead of the victim.<br />
<br />
That may be true, but two wrongs still do not make a right.” (pg. 39)<br />
<br />
Searching for our success, seeing people who succeeded already to achieve their goals, we can feel jealousy, but the author warns us: “The reason jealousy will be a barrier to your own success is that jealousy often leads to criticism. Whatever people are jealous of they will criticize, and you cannot attract that which you criticize.” (pg. 41). The finesse of analyze and of the conclusions are remarkable. <br />
<br />
The author continues: “Remember: if you desire something you don’t yet have, you first need to recognize that it is good before you can attract it.” (pg. 42)<br />
<br />
Look what words make you to be wrong: “To say, “I can’t help it,” is a loser’s statement, because the minute you say, “I can’t help it,” you have just given power to the situation. (pg. 44). So, the author advices us to: “Have faith instead of fear; have faith that everything is always working out for your highest good.” (pg. 45); “So that even when things don’t go our way, we still have a positive mental attitude towards life.” (pg. 48); “Remember your subconscious mind creates situations, conditions, and events according to belief. You will attract people, circumstances, or whatever is necessary to make it a reality.” (pg. 48)<br />
<br />
Most of people have fear to try something, to ask for something, because of the fear of being ridicule. Andy Holligan says: “Don’t worry about ridicule — actually, it’s to be expected, because all great achievers in life were ridiculed at first, until they became successful. A lot of people will try to discourage you and put you off because they don’t want you to get ahead of them. Realize that people who do ridicule you probably do so because they don’t have any goals themselves, or they could just be envious of you because you have the guts to step out and do something with your life. Remember, they are not going to pay off your mortgage or provide you with financial security, so why should you listen to them?” (pg. 50)<br />
<br />
Why we have such a behavior? Because: “Teachers, parents, and well meaning but ignorant friends tell us to be “realistic” and ask us what kind of job or career we want to have and immediately limit us to mediocrity. (pg. 51). What is the solution to get rid of it: “Remember, you are only limited by the size of your thinking, so dream big. God didn’t limit us, so why should we limit ourselves? “No good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless” (Ps. 84:11) (Pg. 52)<br />
<br />
In life, the levels achieved can be maintained only through constant action: “There’s no such thing as standing still; we are either going forward or going backward.” (Pg. 52)<br />
<br />
Do you want to be financial free?: “(…) you’ll never be financially free working for a boss (…)” (Pg. 53)<br />
<br />
When to begin to make the told changes? The author says: “So don’t wait until you’re dying of thirst before you dig your well; dig now while the going is good. Think long term and prepare for tomorrow. Who knows, you may be glad you did.” (Pg. 54)<br />
<br />
About having faith in God, Andy Holligan states that:” I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of anything better than being looked upon with favor by the Creator of the universe, can you?” (pg. 59)<br />
<br />
One can think that there is an easy way to make money rapidly. But the author warns us: “Pornography promises to serve and please, but only enslaves and dominates.” (Pg. 62)<br />
<br />
Into the book there are some things which are to hard to be told openly, at least in this review, but I urge the reader to discover it by himself. I am only mentioning the one from the page no. 67, paragraph no. 2, and the one from the page no. 68, paragraph no. 5.<br />
<br />
We have to believe in our success. But for that we must act daily: “Someone once said that faith is like a muscle, it can be developed over time.” (pg. 67)<br />
<br />
In the following mister Andy Holligan presents a very nice quote: “Someone once said that coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.” (pg. 69)<br />
<br />
A constant care we must have for our attitude: “It has been said that our attitude is our most priceless possession, and I totally agree with that because it colors and taints everything we look at. In fact, our attitude will determine how successful we become in life.” (Pg. 80)<br />
<br />
What attitude we must have? The one described bellow:<br />
<br />
“( 1 ). Accept what has happened.<br />
<br />
( 2 ). What can I do about it?<br />
<br />
( 3 ). Begin immediately to put this plan into action.” (pg. 82)<br />
<br />
Let’s see life not a string of problems, but a succession of decisions: “You don’t have a problem, you only have a decision to make.” (pg. 82)<br />
<br />
We must fight to keep our attitude in our control: “Another thing that can happen to us is that people or situations can “steal” our attitude, but only if we let them. No one or nothing can steal our attitude unless we first give them permission to take it. In other words, we decide to react negatively.” (Pg. 84); “If you got angry then that person has stolen your attitude. But if you decide not to let it bother you, then you are a bigger person than they are, and you are still in possession of your attitude. Don’t let people or situations control you by dictating how you will feel. Stay in control of yourself, and remember, your attitude is valuable so don’t let anyone steal it.” (Pg. 84 – 85)<br />
<br />
Tormenting ourselves because of the wrong attitude we have in front of problems, stress us and can make us ill: “It’s a proven fact that 80 percent to 90 percent of all ailments are stress-related.” (Pg. 86); “Every thought we think, every word we speak, and every emotion we have has a corresponding effect on our physical bodies.” (pg. 86); “Our emotions are really a subconscious response to our conscious thinking, which in turn will lead to either good health or poor health.” (Pg. 88)<br />
<br />
Sometime the things are going wrong. But we must fight, because, no matter what happens, it: “could take away your freedom, your dignity, and even your life, but as long as you were living, there was one thing that they could not take away. He referred to this as the last of the human freedoms, the ability to choose your attitude in a given set of circumstances. Our attitude is the one thing over which we have 100 percent control. It’s not so much what happens but how we respond to the pain that determines whether we become successful or not.” (Pg. 157)<br />
<br />
There are some ways to improve and exercise our positive thinking: “(…) positive thoughts will multiply by reading positive books (…)” (Pg. 120)<br />
<br />
An assertion of the author is not I will not follow: “Sometimes I read up to half an hour a day, but personally I wouldn’t go above that because if you were reading that amount every day it would be ample information for your mind to work on a day-to-day basis. Your mind will absorb more (or a higher percentage) of fifteen to thirty minutes reading than it would by reading two or three hours at once. So we need to pace ourselves by reading a little bit every day rather than a whole lot now and again. We need to look upon the game of life as a marathon rather than a sprint.” (Pg. 120) Why is that? Because I am reading like the end of the world it knocks at my door and by reading I will be saved. It’s an addiction, but a very nice and pleasant one. <br />
<br />
In folklore there is a proverb: “Tell me who are your friends for I tell you who you are.” Andy Holligan tells us this way: “Remember, you become like the people you associate with.” (Pg. 123)<br />
<br />
An important part of the book speaks about communication. One thing is this: “If you can master the art of making people feel important, this will go a long way toward increasing your effectiveness when dealing with other people.” (Pg. 127)<br />
<br />
Most of the considerations are very useful to managers, teachers, even to the parents: “It’s important that we see people as they can be, not just as they are. We all have the potential to be great. Even though none of us will ever reach our full potential, we are all still capable of becoming so much more than we are. (Pg. 134) – So, you see, dear reader, this it’s such an optimistic book! It’s encouraging us!<br />
<br />
Practical rules are discussed very natural. For example: “The 70/30 rule simply means this: SAVE. 10%, GIVE. 10%, INVEST. 10%, And live off the remaining 70%.” (Pg. 145)<br />
<br />
The main fight of the author is against wrong mentality: “Habits create your mentality. Your mentality then creates or attracts the physical equivalent. This is a very important principle, but is seldom understood, especially by the masses.” (Pg. 147)<br />
<br />
Another principle is this: “Whatever you give you receive. Whatever you share multiplies. Whatever you withhold diminishes. Whatever you lust after, you lack.” (Pg. 148)<br />
<br />
Some of the affirmations worry the author, because he believes that the reader will hardly accept, so they are followed by argumentation: “For example, if a person believed that money was scarce (lack mentality) then that’s exactly what they would see manifested in their life. Whereas a person who believed money was abundant (wealth mentality) would see abundance manifested in their life. Each time you give money away, you create an abundance mentality.” (Pg. 148); “Remember, God will do more with the 90 percent than any of us could ever do in a million years with 100 percent, because the 90 percent that’s left over multiplies.” (Pg. 149)<br />
<br />
We fight for success, and eventually we will find it. But can we handle it?: “Be assured that success will never attack you.” (Pg. 150)<br />
<br />
Our attitude in life seems to be formed wrong: “Unfortunately, in school you are only trained to look for a job.” (Pg. 151)<br />
<br />
Must we be scared about failure? The author assures us we mustn’t: “The only time you fail is when you give up and quit. As long as you persist and keep taking corrective action, you are on the road to success.” (Pg. 156)<br />
<br />
It seems that if we dream small, we will achieve small things. We must dream big, because: “How big is your dream? Is it big enough to keep you going when disappointment and fear threaten to steal your dream? Is it big enough to keep you going when there no longer seems any point carrying on?” (Pg. 157) and “(…) your dream is a major key to your ability to persist (…)” (Pg. 161)<br />
<br />
We mustn’t complain because of the struggle: “The harder the struggle, the stronger we become. There is no way of bypassing the struggles in order to become successful.” (Pg. 158) <br />
<br />
Fulfilling our dreams involve speaking to the people. It’s natural to be afraid at the beginning. But we must persist: “When you are first to speak then you are risking rejection, but rejection is something you need to get used to if you want to become successful. Average people fear rejection; successful people embrace it. Even if you do get rejected, so what! It’s not life threatening; you just simply move on and speak to someone else. Little by little, you begin to be able to handle rejection. Not that you will always be rejected—but when you are, you may be emotionally knocked down but not knocked out. You learn to pick yourself back up and dust yourself off.” (Pg. 162)<br />
<br />
All our fears can be diminished. Andy Holligan tells us that: “It’s a psychological fact that if you have fear of something and you are exposed to it long enough, then the fear begins to diminish. There is no other way to overcome fear but to continually do what you are afraid to do. Winners have learned to make a habit out of doing what’s uncomfortable. When you do the uncomfortable long enough, eventually something interesting happens. The uncomfortable becomes comfortable and you create a new comfort zone. Now that you have experienced a higher way of living, what once used to be a comfort zone would now be very uncomfortable to go back to, and you have no desire to go back to it.” (Pg. 162)<br />
<br />
Around us there are successful people. A first impression is that they were always so: “What we don’t see is the years of hard work and discipline that they had to put in to get there. We don’t see the pain, the suffering, and years of sacrifice which contributed to their success. We don’t see the failures, the defeats, and the times when they almost quit. We don’t see the tears and the painful emotions they experienced along the way. But just because we didn’t see them doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” (Pg. 164)<br />
<br />
The author warns us that: “The truth is that we are the biggest stealers of our own dreams, not other people.” (Pg. 164)<br />
<br />
We must believe in God!: “God wants to be our Partner in success.” (Pg. 165)<br />
<br />
Andy Holligan urges us: “If you’re going through hell, don’t stop there!” (Pg. 165); “Hell usually seems to be the last destination just before reaching our dreams. It’s almost as if we are being tested to see if we are strong enough to handle success.” (Pg. 166); “Many people who choose to get off while going through Hell had absolutely no idea how close they were to the next station, which is their dreams. (Pg. 166)<br />
<br />
The author declares, in conclusion, that: “Everything we need to know regarding how to live our lives successfully is in the Bible. (Pg. 167)<br />
<br />
We are closing this review with the words of the author, addressed to all readers of this book: <br />
<br />
“May God bless you on your journey of life, and may all your dreams come true.” (Pg. 171)<br />

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3CBO00;">Maybe isn`t relevant but I noticed the
interesting wordplay created, I think by who edited the present e-book: he or
she added at the end of the author`s name the two letters from the last and the
middle names, so the title of e-book file became sellmans<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>bergerac</u></b>, Bergerac being the famous French writer…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3CBO00;">It is also interesting the introduction made in
verses. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3CBO00;">From the beginning the reader can observe the
rhythm and the musicality of the verses. The author has a special form in which
write poetry, grouping verses four by four in two tetrastichs on each page of
the book, except the page 10.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3CBO00;">When the author says to us: </span><span style="font-family: TTA3C4O00; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">“My budget was
broken; I kept up with the crowd.” </span><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">(pg. 2)
what else to be there if not generosity? But the nuance that the author gave to
his material generosity, analyzing further his attitude, it is described in the
following words:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">The advice is to not look only at the material
way to express our love, but to gift away our soul, through Jesus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">Entire book is a story in verses, sad but also full
of hope, about the author herself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">Sometime the author, with his feminine
sensibility realizes images loaded by such a force and expressivity that
impresses us:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">The poem entitled “Guard Duty” is a cry against
the insanity of war. Which leave behind people who:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">The author</span><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;"> comes
again at her obsession about the futility of material aid and she is telling
us:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: TTA3C4O00; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">“‘Your money won’t help me; it’s your prayers that I need.” (pg. 14)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
there is present the tendency to moralize people who sin:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">I was saying before that the book offer us
hope. Here is an example:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">With the poem entitled “Conclusion” the author
closes the circle of the book, returning to that Christmas Eve night with which
the book starts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TTA3C4O00;">One can say: “A book composed from five
poems?!”. My answer is yes! Why not? Because these five poems mean an entire
life, of somebody whose mind and soul are alert, searching for the simple
truth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="RO" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: large;">Cuvântul
are propria putere, poate vindeca, poate
materializa gândurile, poate fi o cale spre Dumnezeu, dar numai vorbit ori
scris pentru a crea comuniune între oameni şi ţinând tot timpul calea de
mijloc. Cuvântul stă la baza Gnozei, în încercarea de a explica inexplicabilul,
ghidând călătorul spiritual pe scara cunoaşterii: raţională, imaginativă,
intuitivă, şi deasupra tuturor: necunoaşterea conştientă. Cuvântul este de
asemenea un vehicul al rugăciunii, care ne conectează cu energiile necreate şi
ne ridică din condiţia noastră decăzută. Dar trebuie să avem grijă, deoarece, aşa
cu textele sfinte spun: „Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu nu este vorbărie”, şi chiar
Domnul Nostru Iisus Hristos ne porunceşte să avem cuvintele noastre simple, „da”
dacă este „da” şi „nu” dacă este „nu”. Sfinţii părinţi ne sfătuiesc să nu
vorbim mult, pentru că aceasta diluează încărcătura spirituală a cuvintelor. „Identity
Sheets” („File de Identitate”) încercă să arate cum cuvintele devin diferitele
noastre identităţi, cum construiesc ele în jurul nostru lumea în care vrem să
trăim.</span></div>

Starting even
with the preface, the author expresses his concern about the fate. Is the
providence that makes us to have a certain destiny or we can avoid to be only a
toy in the hand of fate? Also in the preface are present all the questions to
be answered further in the volume through the poems.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
From the start
we have to observe that the last poem has a dot after each verse. Each verse
ends with a dot. We never met this form of punctuation, but, in the name of our
principle that there doesn’t exists any general recipe to write poetry, to
write in general, we give to the author all the credit to use the punctuation
whatever he likes. Only the message counts! If in a book there is a single word
which remains into the mind of somebody, the book reached its goal. And if that
word, that message is positive, then the author is on the path to God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
Justin
Eikenberry put in front of us some very honest questions about life, about love
and hate, about sufferance and joy. The conclusion he expresses in the preface
is that: “All of the experiences build up to create a soul unique in that no
other has been on the exact path or hold the same destination. This uniqueness
causes us to be ourselves.”(pg. 8)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
To be very
honest, we were searching for an easy book to review but, fate of not, we can’t
escape of being followed by fundamental questions in our readings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
The
versification is classic. Though written in 2008 the book contains poems with
rhyme.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
Mister’s
Justin Eikenberry poetry isn’t complicated. It uses simple words to express the
author’s feelings. The poetical expression isn’t pretentious in this case. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
Almost
everywhere mister Eikenberry show us his deep need for friendship. Many of the
poems are about friendship. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 45.0pt;">
I strongly
recommend this book to whom feels the need for compassion and friendship!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I
must recognize that Dorrance Bookstore has an impressive collection of wonderful
books! This is my feeling every time when I am looking for something to read! I
never tried until now to read an American novel in its original English
version, so this reading was an event for me. Thanks God was such a wonderful
experience! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The author have the capacity
to combine the action with short, or sometime longer, descriptions of the
environment placing the action in a verisimilar, credible atmosphere. The
images succeed rapidly; the plans are moved cinematographic, like a camera filming,
which can record also the thought, the smells, the noises, the colors, the
memories. Sometime there can be find also scenic indications, descriptions: “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Theo stepped
forward to speak, but before he could, Mel was moving him to the side.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> “ (pg. 9).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It is interesting
how the author characterizes in few sentences the personages, using the most
important of their gestures, thoughts, pieces of clothes, etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Resorting
to the memories of the main character, the author builds, bit by bit his
complex personality, related so well, so credible, with its general background.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> The book is a American society`s radiography, catching
so well the nuances of the social life influence on the personal life. One
general problem for a great part of these days society is the mistrust in school
and the corruption of the young people to make easy money. Like that character,
barely speaking English said to Mel: “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">You no need college. You want money, I
show you how.” (pg. 5).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Some of the comparisons are
wonderful: “The approaching night gave the neighborhood a solitude that made it
seem as though heaven was indeed on earth.” (pg. 7).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It
seems like the preferred stylistic procedure employed by the author is the
story in frame. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Some of the sayings are
superb showing us new perspectives, new angles to see things: “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Theo was too
unstable for anyone to really believe that he knew how to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dream consciously</i></b>.” (pg.
10).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The concept of highlighting
some ideas by spelling word with italic letters it is also interesting, and
white spread among the book: “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">In fact, he was capable of </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">breaking </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">the glass.”
(pg. 11).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
dialog lines have sparkling queries and answers, a certain rhythm and use
slangy expressions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
book describes the African – Americans` universe, struggling with the hostile
world of white man. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The author has plenty of humor resources,
which color the writing: “Damn! Just because you asked someone to house-sit didn’t
mean you wanted them to destroy it!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The woman
psychology, like is analyzed in the book, indicates a profound knowledge of the
subject. The nuances are fine detailed and interested to be read: “But he was
foolish to think that all she wanted was to remain an ever faithful housewife
who did part-time teaching at college. She was capable of expanding beyond her
dreams. She was capable of shooting for the stars and reaching them.” ; “The
things she tolerated as a young woman were more complicated to accept now.”; “If
only men realized what women endured when they went through the change: mood
swings, hot flashes, burning and sweating skin. But they didn’t know. They just
knew that at night when it came time to go to bed, they wanted to cuddle with a
warm body. They had no idea that the body they were cuddling to was a potential
inferno.</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"> (pg. 18)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Insinuation
like a stylistic procedure, embrace the form of euphemism: “His interest was
the color </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">green
</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">and
how fast he could get it</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">.” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(about money, pg. 21)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Through out the
book it is present the feminist struggle and the resistance that society
opposes to it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">At least in the first part of
the book the tone of the speech is optimistic: “And to say the least, she was a
white woman with a dream that even the busiest of politicians would have to
take seriously.” (pg. 26)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Separating
different episodes or different scenes by blank rows it is interesting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
dynamic actions are inlaid with calm paragraphs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some passages are showing day by day life, unspectacular activities, but just because that, offer those days perfume,
also resting the reader: “Indeed, someone had gone against his wishes. The vent
was open and it was blowing. It was blowing so cold and hard that even the
taped trimmed paper he tried to put across it kept blowing off. “Here’s some
duct tape.” He turned to see Sally standing there, offering him the tape.” (pg.
29)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Another theme of
the book is the segregation, present in any aspects. Author tells us about the
struggle of the African – American people: “You know how white people are.
Always looking out for each other</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(pg. 30)</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"> It is not impossible for me to judge this aspect, because
even in these days, Romanians are discriminated in their own country, in the
counties where the Hungarian population (two counties from 42 in total). It is
so sad because some ideologies are taking the minds of the people and during
the history the man race has the ugly tendency to repeat endlessly the same
mistakes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
main character, named Mel Edgers, has a story of a man of success, working
hard, being devoted to the company where he is employed. He rejects the social
struggle also to not recognize, maybe, that he is discriminated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
action starts with ease atmosphere but become more and more loaded with
conflict, more and more tense, until reach the apex. Somehow, the author brings
us gradually into the main conflict but familiarizing us before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Some
queries have a universal air: “What would make a man cheat on a woman?</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(pg. 37); “Why must we define ourselves, when society
already has?” (pg. 38)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I
think the book succeeds to present the subtle mechanisms through which the
white people`s racism generates the racism of black people`s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">An
interesting shift of the character importance occurs in the chapter twelve,
where Theo became a main personage. Also interesting are the differences
between Mel and Theo are seeing the life: one realized and bored, affording to
have verticality and other searching hard for a way to get through.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">A
question that have to be put: how much to have to consider yourself successful?
Ann is a teacher, drive a Mercedes, have a nice life, but yet throw her
following her dream concerning the Broken Rainbow, into an unknown world, full
of dangers. Why to forget always to search only the success that we can deal
with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Like
usually, when a woman fall in love starts lying: “</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">“</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Shopping,” Ann lied. She surprised herself. She had been angry
at Mel for having her lie to Theo. Now she was lying to him. “ (pg. 66). The
marriage of Mel and Ann attracts all sort of pressure to be destroyed: tensions
at work, personal ambitions, stubbornness, mistrust, lack of communication,
temptation, alcoholism, etc. Even the book started like an average story of a
family, ends into a tragedy, insinuated by the title: Broken Rainbow.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">We
may call the novel a psychological one since it follows and analyzing the
psychic transformations of the characters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">It
is sad but many times in life one may say like the author said through this
line: “But no one asked for your truth!” (pg. 74)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Ann
is a beautiful woman, energetic, full of life, feeling good to be dressed nice,
using expensive perfumes… being almost unhappy in her marriage and wanting to
make a carrier against the perils that means in a so manly polarized society: a
recipe for falling in the mud. I am at page 74 and my sensation is that Ann
will cheat Mel with Mister Jones. I hope will be not the case!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">A
very strong question needed to put it is how to keep the balance between the
feminist movement and the personal hate of some disillusioned women, which try
to destroy others families only to justify theirs failures. What to think about
this line which is an advice from a woman friend to other friend: “Choosing
your career over him</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">.” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(pg. 75). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have sinned, what is your justifying making
other sin?!...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Some
phrases from the book declare moral principles and life lessons: “You can
justify all you want, but the truth has to come out.</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(pg. 77)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Saying
like the following are giving a poetical nuance to the writing: “what she
invested in people was pure love” (pg. 85)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
psychological analyze is sometime very deep, showing us sentiments, feelings
that we had before or we can have, even not being conscious about it: “Was he
jealous because she had found something more fulfilling to her than he felt he
was? Was he jealous that she could have an affection for something that he felt
he had to take a back seat to? Was he jealous because she </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">was </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">fulfilling
herself?” (pg. 147); “She wasn’t asking for his approval or for his input. She
was </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">telling
</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">him
something.” (pg. 148)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">It
is interesting that the character named Mel, being sometime discriminated,
transforms that thing into certitude for his life and search for it even when
it isn’t happen. So, on one hand, the society discriminates, and on the other
hand, even it isn’t happen, discrimination is thought to be there: it is a so
efficient way - yet negative - to make the communication impossible. Mel, being
announced by his wife that she is about to succeed, he answers: “You think that
by denying who you are, you’re going to get closer to your Broadway.” “All I’m
saying,” he said, “is that you’ve got no race honor.” (pg. 148)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Philosophy
of life is present in lines like these: “We all have choices to make. They can
be good. They can be bad. They can not matter. But you pay the price for
choosing.” (pg. 149)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
author creates very original and striking sentences to talk about love: “I
needed you to </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">need </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">me...” (pg. 192)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The
title chosen for the novel, “Broken Rainbow”, it is a very inspired one. The
writer`s skillfully unfold gradually the meaning of the “Broken Rainbow”, building
the whole story around the two words which compose the title of the book. Also,
the Rainbow turns to not be broken in the end and transforms into a hope.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I warmly recommend this
novel to be read! It is a open window towards such an average but also such a
spectacular world!</span></div>

The
hardest writing is to write poems about God! This is because you must respect
the dogmas and also keep a balance, between poetical feeling and the
equilibrium demanded by the right faith. How to speak about God but not to
imagine anything about Him? How to pray to God, even in verses, but not limit
Him, who is the unlimited? Will you find all these in the book entitled “Poems
That Speak to the Spirit”, written by Minister Cristina Walker and published by
Dorrance Publishing author house?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
First of all,
reading the titles of the poems, we can see that the themes spring out from
faith, from Gospel, being a declaration of love addressed to God. God Who is
present in all aspect of the author life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
The poems are
not long, but striking, built having a hypothesis, a development and also a
conclusion under the shape of an advice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
Having rhyme
the verses of the poems have a certain musicality, making them easy to read.
Maybe aren`t so modern… These days postmodernism and post-textualism get rid of
rhyme and of sentiment, and make the feeling appear only in the back of the
words, in context; the post-textualists do not declare anything, do not advice
at everything, but they only suggest a certain state that we can compare with
the circulation of the lymph into the organism. But must we write in trend? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
The answer is
in our face: no, we mustn`t. True poetry has not rules. Theory can`t replace
the feeling of the poet. Author Cristina Walker demonstrates this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
Reading this
book provided by the Dorrance Book Review Team, the reader have a nice journey
on the path of the faith and of the soul. </div>

It is interesting
how the author placed the words in the poem entitled “Walking on Water”, under
the shape of an amphora:</div>

A special
perfume gives to the poems the use of “thee” instead of “you”, thing that the
author treats like a stylistic constant of her writing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
We hope that
the following remark will not be considered a misogynic one, but in all the
poems manifests a special feminine sensibility, an inclination to love and to
be loved, a mix of vulnerability but also a great strength.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
In the poem
entitled “On the Throne” the author makes an interesting portrait of God,
either clear and with force but also in simple words: </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "CenturySchL-Roma","sans-serif";">“The one who is mighty in strength</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "CenturySchL-Roma","sans-serif";">Whose outstretched arm has a great length</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "CenturySchL-Roma","sans-serif";">The one whose mercies last forever</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "CenturySchL-Roma","sans-serif";">The one who created the weather</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "CenturySchL-Roma","sans-serif";">The
shield… the rock …and salvation”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify;">
Interesting
is also the way in which the poet place quotes from the Bible at the ends of
some poems. The message of the poem and it is strengthened by the message from
the quote.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify;">
In the entire book there is only two sad poem
entitled: “Parting” and “So Long”. All the rest have happy messages.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 35.45pt; text-align: justify;">
My
special choice is the poem entitled “Come Back”, which has a musicality apart,
not being big in length but full of poetical substance:</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
I was searching in the vast
library of Dorrance Publishing online store when a title a little sad but also
intriguing caught my attention: “Meditations and reflections”. Reading this
title a sort of tranquility was produced in my soul together with a need to see
what was in there. It was like discovering and old and hidden English garden
you feel the need to open the door, to enter and explore the mysteries. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Into the book the author unveils
the meanings of the biblical names. Also the Saint Maxim the Confessor, in Philokalia,
vol. 3, shows us the translation of such names like Jerusalem which means the
place from where the peace is seen.<span style="color: red;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
The
author quotes a Hebrew writer who said: “<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">looking to Jesus the
pioneer and perfecter of our faith” (pg.2). In this respect we consider that
the great tragedy of Israel is that among them has born the Son of God, they
being the chosen people, and they can believe in Him, even they are trying.
Like Jesus said: “Nobody is a prophet in his country”, or like the Israelis
said, quoted in the Bible: “Isn`t Him the son of Jacob?”, or “It may come out
something good from Nazareth?!”. Also, it must be said here that the
anti-Semitism is so wrong. How we can say that we love Jesus Christ, being in
hate with the people among it Jesus was born?! Or, like Jesus said: “How
somebody can love anybody, but hate his mother?” – and this is a very wrong
position of some Christians who don`t respect the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">The
author describes how the path toward God it is accompanied by doubt,
uncertainty, concerns and challenges.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">The writing is sometime inspirational, full of
conviction energy: “Look at the witnesses, the heroes of your life—your spouse,
mother, father, sister, brother, grandparents—and countless others inducted in
“God’s hall of fame.” Even more, they are standing in the “great arena”
cheering and applauding your every step. They are saying run, child, run!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
“<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">He completed extensive training under our Lord.
He constantly talked and walked with the Master.” (pg.4) – very interesting
formula… In the same time an occasion to discuss about the knowledge of God.
The most profound knowledge of God can be named “apostolic knowledge”, because
the apostles knew Jesus Christ face to face, talking Him, hearing directly from
Him, being taught by Him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">I`m not agree with how the author consider the
fear. In orthodox Christian writings the fear it is divided in two kinds: the
god fear, the fear of God – “the fear of God is god, it makes the children
sage”, and there is also a bad fear, the fear produced by our attachment to
material things, our lack of faith in God`s help. Jesus Himself told us to not
be worried, like the birds of the land, which do not seed and do not thresh,
but God give them the food that they need. Also the lilies do not weave but
they are dressed more beautiful then King Solomon of his peak of splendor. Also
Jesus warns us saying: “There they feared, where was nothing not fear”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">It
is important to highlight that the good fear is the second stage in Gnostic
evolution, the first being the faith in God. Also, the believer who reaches the
ultimate stages of Gnosticism transforms also the good fear, the fear of God.
In this respect must be said that there are two kind of good fear: the first,
in which we fear God like a servant fears his master to not be punished, and
the second kind, in which the believer become through Jesus Christ a son of
God, and fears to not upset his Father like a son loving his father wants to
make his father will. In the end, the author says that the fear can be over
passed only with the help of God, which is true: “You can do nothing without
me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">It may be mentioned here the saying of a great
Christian author: “The material things are an illusion, but the bonds who
attach us to them are very real!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">In the book there is a story with a father, his
son and a friend of his son, capsizing with a boat in the middle of a storm.
The father thrown the only line to be grabbed by the friend of his son, not by
his son, reasoning that his son is already a Christian and the son`s friend
isn`t. It is a very touching story which makes us humble.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">In the Philokalia, one of the holly fathers
explains the parable of the un-fruitful fig, treated also in this book, that
the full of leafs three illustrated the Pharisees. They have all the exterior
characteristics of fruitful threes, but they do not make fruits.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">About judging each-other there is a very nice
story about a monk who was a little indulged to food and wine and approaching
his death he was not so worried. His brothers ask him why he felt no fear and
he answered: “It is true that I wasn`t so attentive fulfilling God`s
commandments, but this a know: I never judged somebody. So, I believe that God
do not lied to me, when he said: “Do not judge, to not be judged!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Father
Nicolae Dela Rohia (a Jewish man converted in communist a prison to orthodox
Christian religion) is telling us about the levels of forgiveness: to forgive
somebody who has done a bad think to you; to forgive yourself to being done
something wrong; to forgive somebody for you have done something bed to him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">Related to forgiveness, there is a special pray
that a hermit who built a monastery in remote Romanian Mountains, used to
escape by the secret police members who were searching for him to get him in
prison: “Torn back God, to the kindness of the pray, all my enemies!”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">The author said: “We have the words of our Lord
contained within the pages of the New Testament” (pg. 24). We want to emphasize
this, by adding a commentary of a holly father who warns us: “Every time we
read the words of Jesus, He is there watching on us”. And even Jesus said:
“Anywhere will be two or three gathered in my name, I will be there”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">In the battle against the evil, the holly
fathers show us there are some degrees of sin ascension. First is the bait, the
only action that is in the evil`s power. This is the phase in which we must
reject with all our will the bad thoughts. If we are weak, the next phase
appear, the phase in which we accompany the bad thought. After that, in the
next phase we consent to the sin, and, in the last phase we will sin. The
sooner we reject the bait, the safer we will be in the fight with the evil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">The author speaks in a minute way about
rejection and teaches us how to relate us to this. Orthodox theology teaches
the believers to be humble, to renounce at our need to like our self. When you
get rid of false fame, you will be no more disturbed by the rejection. Even
more, hollies fathers teach us about how to enjoy the unfairness don’t against
us. To thanks to God for the sufferance that He gave to us, considering it like
a medicine for our soul (but not searching for sufferance…).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">But all we can say about this subject was said
by Jesus Christ Himself, proclaiming the condition of happiness: “Happy you
will be when they will rebuke you, will oppress you and they will say all bad
word against you, lying for Me”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">Mister L. D. Ervin is teaching us about
searching excuses. God do not Wants from us excuses. He wants from us to
recognize sincerely our guilt, to repent from the bottom of our heart and to try
to sin no more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: TT358O00; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TT358O00;">The style of the writing is clear, convincing,
accessible to the large public, but it is also well documented and very well
illustrated.</span></div>

What are looking for people most
badly if not for love? Spiritual love! The book written by <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Dr. Robert D. Smith, D.D.</span>, published by
Dorrance Publishing, reveals the meanings and the ways of love. In this
changing world must be some certitude for everybody. But, regarding love, how
to find it? How to recognize it? Who can help you and guide you about this? To
these questions Dr. Smith`s these is trying to respond. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
To begin the review I am quoting PhD. Prof. Priest Dumitru Staniloae,
who states the following: “About the truth of science I believed it exists, but
about the truth of the faith I know it exists.” Another thing about which
mister Staniloae insisted very much it is the communion, an aspect extended by
him in analyzing the dreadful mystery of the Holly Trinity, being in an
inseparable communion but remaining unmixed in three persons. But, like also he
said: “some questions it is better not to ask”… One of the binding principles, maybe
the most important, between the three persons of Holly Trinity is LOVE.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Mister Smith in his book tries to
argue in favor of spiritual love, analyzing how love spring from God,
describing the characteristics of love, giving us some advices how to obtain
spiritual love, stating that “God is love”, how love indwell in God mercy, how
we must be temperate, about how love is truth. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Here must be highlighted a nuance
about spiritual love. In the upper stages of it`s development the one who loves
is loving the general human nature in each person, beyond the individual. Clean
spiritual love succeeds to see Jesus Christ in each person. Maybe is not
meaningless to quote here that an ancient father made: “God`s Is all in
everything, but Is nothing in something”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Other important nuance that also
Mister Smith insists, are moderation, temperance and balance needed to receive
the truth: the truth, which means love. Jesus Christ said: “Where isn`t love,
nothing is.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
I am concluding this review
quoting Mister Smith, using his conclusion to the book: “Love is caring. Love is looking beyond any
rainbow and seeing no color, but only love. Love is patient, kind, passionate,
fair, given, never jealous, forgiving, trusting, understanding, truth,
knowledge, wisdom, and holds no grudges. Love is communication, self-control,
and overlooks faults. Love is like cement, for it bears all and shelters all.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
So, You Reader, if you are searching for spiritual love, you`ll find it in
book entitled: “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Revelation Love Is the
Edification Concerning Spiritual Love in This Changing World” </b>something to remain in your
hearth to help you advancing towards God.</div>

“21`th
century will be a religious one, or will not be at all” said a wise man. In all
his history the human being searched for answers about the meaning of the life
and about the destiny. One general answer to all the fears and hardships of
life would be the religion. In the world it`s a general and more acute than
ever thirst for religion, and perhaps due to this, more fundamentalist
doctrines than ever. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
That`s
why I am considering Dorrance Publishing House`s initiative, to have such a
good developed department for religious books, to be a well saw opportunity.
Especially for those who are searching for realms of faith.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
First
of all let`s talk about the danger to speak about God. Because Jesus said: “A
blind man, leading another blind man, will fall both into a pit.” And also he
said: “Woe to you, Pharisees, you hid the keys of the Kingdom, neither you
entering, nor other letting enter”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
It is so easy
to get wrong speaking about God. Also, speaking about God without fulfilling
his commandments was told about Him to be a wrong thing: “You, sinner, why do you
take my words in your mouth?”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
There
are many stairs to climb to be able to speak about God. Because I never passed
even the first one, but I want with my feeble strengths to defend the right way
of faith, I am using the words of ancient fathers which are written in
Filocalia, the collection of writings, in twelve volumes, translated in
Romanian language by PhD. Professor Dumitru Staniloaie, the greatest theologian
of Romanian Orthodox Church. There was said that the stages of evolution
towards God are the followings: the faith on God which born the fear of God,
which born the respect and the work of the commandments, which`s daughters are
the wisdom, restraining, patience and hope; which are giving birth to lack of
passions, which give birth to love, which ends the first part of the path, the
working one; it follows the natural Gnosis, the theology, the higher Gnosis,
and finally the stage of clean pray which it`s also the sight of God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
In
the book of Rami Issa Sawaged you`ll find also
described visions and dreams, and the dreadful experiences that followed. About having
visions or dreams, about their perils, the father Cleopa, a brilliant Romanian monarch,
a force of nature in speaking and quoting by heart the holly scriptures,
advices us to reject all visions or dreams. They are mostly of them deceiving
us. If God want to transmit something to us, He will do that even we are
opposing to it. Like the Bible says, the evil can transform himself into a
angel of light only to deceiving us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
The
sufferance described in the book may illustrate very well the danger which
lurches to grab the fable ones and grab them “like a lion searching for someone
to swallow”. The believer must not search for God alone, not being advised by a
holly father. To be guided by an experienced father it is a mandatory condition
for evolution. “All god things, with blessing it are to be done.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
It
is a general concern that using words, expressing symbols, may be a foreign
language for the common reader. The Romanian theologian Petre Tutea was saying:
“Between the believer and the faithless it is an impassable abyss.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
We
must not forget the importance of the holly mysteries for Christian
Church. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
About
the style of the writing, I have to say that the direct way in which the author
addresses to readers is undeniable. The comparisons that he uses like a
preferred figure of speech are in the same time simple to understand but also
suggestive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
In
conclusion, reading books which speak about religion it is a good way to work
your way to find God, but isn`t enough. We all need a good confessor and a
great will to fight our path towards God. Then He will help us in an unexpected
and mysterious way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
The
holly fathers describe the stages of knowledge like this: the rational
knowledge, the imaginative knowledge, the intuitive knowledge and finally the
conscious unaquittance. <br />

aşternut în scris, în cuvântul înainte, a cărei încredinţare către umila mea
persoană mi-a produs o mare bucurie: am perceput această sarcină ca pe o dulce
povară şi ca pe un sigiliu împărătesc pe care prietenul Mihai Arcadie Comănici
l-a aşezat peste împreună trăirea şi peste comune trăirile, cu care Senioria Sa
m-a împărtăşit atât de generos.</span></div>

cunoscându-i opera şi viaţa – nu ştiu dacă nu cumva pentru scriitorul
sărbătorit astăzi, alăturarea acestor două cuvinte „opera” şi „viaţa” nu
constituie un pleonasm… căci una o presupune pe cealaltă -, voi expune, deci,
ceea ce cred că e definitoriu pentru scriitorul Mihai Arcadie Comănici:

continuă a sensurilor existenţei, pe care se căzneşte să le extragă de sub
îngrămădirea prozaicului. Cu „limba vechilor cazanii”, asta s-ar putea descrie
ca lupta pentru a dobândi „vederea raţiunilor simple ale lui Dumnezeu din
lucruri”.</span></div>

suportabilă, trăibilă.</span></div>

jertfă?!... O jertfă pe altarul literaturii am vrut să spunem, dar ar fi prea
simplist. Deci mai mult!: a scrie în aceste condiţii este o jertfă sublimă pe
altarul însănătoşirii socialului, pentru resuscitarea cetăţii, atât de mult
afectate de acuta lipsă de moralitate, de conştiinţă şi, prin acoperirea de
întuneric, chiar de conştienţă.</span></div>

<br />
Pentru ca "nimeni nu aprinde o lumina s-o puna sub obroc" ma simt obligat sa ofer celor interesati informatiile pe care le-am acumulat despre cum sa fi publicat de o editura - nu neaparat americana, desi din punct de vedere al efortului financiar a fost cel mai lesne - straina.<br />
Eu am ales una de limba engleza deoarece este limba in care mi-am tradus - ajutat la corectura de bunii mei prieteni: Siman Gicu, Turcus Cosmin si Ambrus Sorina (i-am trecut in ordinea cronologica) - patru dintre cartile ce s-au scris prin mine.<br />
Sa nu mai continuam suspansul si sa trecem la pasul numarul unu: intocmirea unui rezumat al cartii pe care doriti sa o publicati.<br />
Pasul doi: cautarea adresei de e-mail a unei / unor edituri care va intereseaza.<br />
Pasul 3: supunerea spre aprobare a rezumatului.<br />
Pasul 4: ASTEPTAREA, DUPA SUFLETUL FIECARUIA, MAI GREA ORI MAI USOARA IAR CEI CREDINCIOSI SA SE ROAGE!<br />
Pasul 5: Plata pachetului de pre-publicare, respectiv a contravalorii muncii celor care re-editeaza cartea.<br />
Pasul 6: primirea pre-contractului.<br />
Pasul 7: primirea, semnarea si transmiterea contractului. <br />
Pasul 8: Pregatirea in termen de 14 zile a manuscrisului final, completarea chestionarului autorului, a tutror formatelor pentru publicare.<br />
Pasul 9: Transmiterea listei cu presa locala si centrala pentru evenimentul de presa.<br />
Pasul 10: Primirea spre aprobare a cartii editate.<br />
Pasul 11: Informareas mediei si a prietenilor.<br />
Pasul 12: Comandarea cartii in format electronic ori tiparit pe hartie.<br />
<br />
Despre toate acestea dragilor, la solicitarea dumneavoastra pe adresa mea de e-mail (goleam@yahoo.com) ori telefonic la 0040748112001, va voi trimite exemple de documente gata completate si va voi raspunde la orice intrebare. Sunati-ma oricand...<br />
<br />
Toate acestea vor avea loc GRATIS! - nu gratuit...<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: yellow;">
<b><span style="background-color: red;">Prima mea carte tiparita de PublishAmerica poate fi vizualizata si comandata - de ce nu?! - la www.PublishAmerica.com, selectand onlinebookstore si scriind in fereastra de cautare: The Fight With Yourself. </span></b></div>

El m-a asigurat că, faţă de cărţile anterioare ale autorului, aceasta nu este legată de religie.<br />Drept să vă spun, încercam să decelez prin studiul meu care sunt cele mai evidenţe mijloace, unele pe care desigur să le pot înţelege eu, prin care Dan Brown, în afară de susţinerea publicitară evidentă, are atâta succes în relaţia sa cu cititorii.<br />Am fost captivat încă din primele rânduri datorită deschiderii în ritm alert a subiectelor, ca să nu mai vorbim că autorul deschide, prin procedeul „povestire în povestire”, sau altfel numit „ramă”, nu mai puţin de trei planuri ale intrigii, pe care le la dezvolta ulterior într-un fel pe care l-aş numi telenovelistic, întrerupând pe rând curgerea povestirii, în momentele culminante.<br />Toate întâmplările de factură de roman poliţist au loc ori în alergare, autorul precizând obsesiv faptul că au mai rămas cinci minute, sau trei, sau un minut. Apoi, ce să mai vorbim despre loviturile de teatru, răsturnările de situaţie.<br />La toate acestea adăugaţi aura de mister în care au loc toate evenimentele, toate întâmplările şi coborârea misterului în stradă prin intermezzo-urile în viaţa de zi cu zi a unor personaje.<br />Ca şi la Agatha Christie, Brown utilizează multe personaje pentru a crea efectul hipnotic rezultat din neputinţa creierului omenesc de a urmări mai multe de nouă personaje diferite.<br />Frazele sunt ca şi cele ale J.K. Rowling, scurte. Brown utilizează preponderent propoziţiile. Doar rar, o dată, maxim de două ori pe pagină, dar de cele mai multe ori deloc, utilizează fraze mai lungi, formate din câteva propoziţii, mai ales când realizează scurte descrieri. Acestea dau impresia că lasă un spaţiu de „odihnă” creierului, pentru a nu-l pierde din vraja cu care l-a subjugat.<br />Firul călăuzitor, care este sugerat încă din primele pagini, este lucrul „acela” care stă îngropat „acolo, undeva”. Şi care poate că a dat titlul cărţii. Simbolul „acela” pierdut, care vine din negura vremurilor, în care Sfântul Graal este un nimic…<br />Un element de noutate pentru mine a fost utilizarea ghilimelelor pentru a reda gândurile personajelor, procedeu care credem că scuteşte scriitorul de utilizarea alocuţiunilor de legătură.<br />De asemenea am remarcat că, din punct de vedere retoric, utilizează un fel special al caligramei: pentru a trece la un plan diferit al povestirii în ramă, autorul lasă un spaţiu de un rând liber.<br />Romanul este unul de ficţiune, care pentru a rămâne verosimil utilizează, deşi de cele mai multe ori tendenţios, unele elemente de adevăr.<br />Pentru crearea atmosferei de mistic, de ocult, descrierile sale cele mai frecvente sunt ale unor clădiri vechi, întunecate, monumentale; tot aşa, de cele mai multe ori dialogurile se petrec în şoaptă – aceasta ne face parcă să „ascultăm” şi mai atenţi cele pe care le citim…<br /><br />Unele consideraţii făcute de domnul Langdom, profesorul de simbolistică, m-au făcut să zâmbesc, dar vă asigur că nu cu charientism, ci cu multă ironie. Reacţia mea se datorează probabil faptului că mi-a fost deranjat simţul penibilului. Parafrazându-l pe Petre Ţuţea, sentimentul de jenă la adresa subiectului acesta mi-a fost creat tocmai de prea multa sârguinţă cu care Dan Brown încearcă să-l justifice.<br />Cum altfel poţi să te poziţionezi în faţa galeşelor referiri la dragii de masoni, ale căror acţiuni autorul, prin spusele personajului Brown-ian sunt numai lapte, dezinteres şi miere. Ca şi ceva teatru…<br />Acum, ca să reiterăm, cu o oarecare îndoială desigur, o temă favorită a celor subjugaţi de teoria conspiraţiei (la fel de păguboasă ca şi apologia bunelor intenţii al mistificatorilor…), nu prea poţi scrie despre masoni şi masonerie, fără a fi ales, selectat, lăsat să faci lucrul acesta. Sau, ca să fim cât se poate de obiectivi, nu poţi lansa best sellere de nivel mondial, care să-i înjure!...<br />Şi chiar aşa, până la urmă de ce clivează Dan Brown în sensul toaletării imaginii masonilor dacă nu este nevoie de aşa ceva. Este aceasta doar un gest gratuit?!...<br />Chiar din debutul povestirii am fost atras de elementele ce fac referire al epoci medievale sau chiar mai vechi, şi mă întrebam, căci la Dan Brown nimic nu este lăsat la voia întâmplării, ce se urmăreşte prin amestecul acesta de vechi şi - aşa cum urma să constat - foarte nou… Asupra acestui aspect am conchis că urmăreşte sugerarea existenţei unor „adevăruri” perene, izvorâte din negura vremurilor, anterioare şi posterioare Lui Iisus Hristos. Tocmai pentru a-L discredita, aşa cum a făcut-o în toate cărţile sale. Şi sper că voi reuşi să argumentez destul de clar această concluzie generală asupra cărţii, prin cele ce vor urma.<br />Am fost foarte nedumerit de satisfacţia maliţioasă şi jucăuşă cu care, prin intermediul aceluiaşi domn Langdon (nume ce în traducere liberă înseamnă cunoscător, specialist în ceva de demult; lang = demult, cândva, frumoasele vremuri de altă dată, iar don = expert, cunoscător, specialist, membru al unui consiliu), la sfârşitul paginii 41 şi începutul paginii 42, arată că femeile sunt excluse din rândurile masonilor. Că pentru ele s-a creat ceva separat, numit Steaua Sudului.<br />Acum, că este vorba de misoginism, mai treacă-meargă. Dar avem aici de-a face cu captarea atenţiei şi acordului celor cu păreri asemănătoare. <br />Aşa cum şi în restul scriiturii, Brown are aceleaşi intenţii. Să ne aburească cu ceva mistere, să creeze legende care au oareş’care sâmbure de adevăr şi-apoi să ne aducă, utilizând, şiretul de el, tendinţa psihologică de a dezvolta raţionamente justificative pornind de la unele locuri comune, la care se adaugă spaţii gri sau chiar „mistere” ocultate cu totul…<br />Cei care „urăsc” – am spune mai mult sau mai puţin – femeile, sau cei care le desconsideră cât de puţin, vor găsi un motiv de satisfacţie în rândurile lui Brown şi vor accepta cu uşurinţă şi restul cărţii.<br />Ca şi cei care cad în prăpastia antisemitismului şi care, la rândul lor, vor găsi sugerate legături „suspecte” între textele religioase evreieşti şi masonerie, etc.<br />Dar mi se pare lipsit de respect modul în care autorul încheie problema femeilor. Pur şi simplu trece mai departe încercând să lase impresia că a rezolvat-o.<br />O altă încercare de a-şi atrage scriitori este exploatarea apetitului pentru oroare, pentru groază, al consumatorilor de filme şi cărţi de gen. În acest sens dezvoltă cu lux de amănunte episodul „,mâinii tăiate” (pg. 50).<br />În acest pasaj am întâlni o interesantă figură retorică, despre care am putea spune oarecum descriptiv că este un ingambament în proză, combinat cu o perifrază, ce accentuează efectul de groază generat de elipsă:<br />„(…) să pară aproape…<br />Precum pielea adevărată.” (pg. 50).<br />Utilizarea numelor evreieşti şi a altor diferite repere legate de iudei şi de iudaism nu are decât un rol decorativ, uneori chiar peiorativ.<br />Utilizarea unor nume precum Mal’akh vrea să sugereze că „secretele” ar fi cumva legate de civilizaţia egipteană.<br />Utilizarea numelor generice de tipul: „Platforma udă”, „Platforma trei” sunt elemente din partea cărora se doreşte accentuarea mistificării.<br />Noetica, pretextul noeticii, s-ar dori un element de justificare „ştiinţifică” a ereziei… prin jonglarea cu noţiuni de felul: „zgomotul alb”, „radiaţia cerebrală”, „emisiile de gânduri” (pg. 54).<br />La acestea toate alătură expresii de-a dreptul apocaliptice de genul: „Descoperiri care aveau să zdruncine întregi paradigme ale gândirii” (desigur fără a preciza care sunt aceste descoperiri, dar sugerând în context că paradigmele gândiri care vor fi zdruncinate sunt poate legate de învăţătura creştină…).<br />Se încearcă de asemenea o manipulare a semidocţilor religioşi prin pastişe de felul: „Dovedeşte-mi credinţa în cele nevăzute!” (pg. 54).<br />Brown vrea să-i ducă în rătăcire nu pe proşti, ci pe cei inteligenţi. Cei care vor să creeze debuşee raţionale în credinţele lor. Vor să cunoască „ştiinţific” ceea ce li se cere să descopere prin credinţă…<br />Autorul rămâne permanent în zona gri, la limitele ereziei, sugerată permanent, pe care uneori, le trece mai mult sau mai puţin discret, la apostatul clar exprimat.<br />Induce de asemenea false citări, false parafraze, preluate după cele în uz şi pervertite, cum ar fi: „La fel ca sus aşa şi jos.” (pg. 49).<br />Ni se vorbeşte pe la pagina 61 despre o aşa-zisă Renaştere, care ar trebui să fie o ridicare împotriva credinţelor de astăzi. Revine la pagina 67 reluând obsesiv: „Ne-am născut într-o epocă minunată. Schimbarea este iminentă”. <br />Ca o concluzie, Dan Brown este un scriitor plin de talent, care are resurse mari, dar pe care, din dorinţa de a câştiga, le utilizează pentru a se lupta cu Iisus Hristos (numai scrierea unor astfel de consideraţii ne sperie…) şi pentru a-i sminti şi pe alţii cu erezia lui. <br />Iată una dintre căile în care se împlineşte ceea ce s-a zis: „urâciunea pustiirii pusă la loc de cinste.”E.L.S.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18263820844660634658noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216342732056329278.post-39679304074509188462009-12-28T07:55:00.001-08:002009-12-28T07:57:45.734-08:0020 de ani in Siberia - recenzie la cartea eroinei Anita Nandris - Cudla eroina a dacilor bucovineni care a supravietuit deportarii in SiberiaVinovată de Dragoste, de vrednicie şi de omenie – condamnată la 20 de ani de foame, de frig, de boală: Aniţa Nandriş–Cudla<br /><br />- suferinţele martirei neamului dacilor bucovineni, Aniţa Nandriş Cudla, de prin părţile Buvocinei, din satul Mahala, din împrejurimile Cernăuţilor, din zona Ceahorului, Ostriţei, Sadagurei (toate nume dace de localităţi, asemenei Sadagura-ei care în subcarpaţii Orăştiei este Gurasada, ş.a.) - <br /><br />Printr-o întâmplare, ne-a fost îngăduit să citim cartea: „20 de ani în Siberia / Destin bucovinean“ apărută la Editura Humanitas, Bucureşti, în anul 1991, după un manuscris al bucovinencei Aniţa Nandriş – Cudla, care a fost ridicată fără vină, împreună cu cei trei copii minori ai ei şi dusă în pustietatea Siberiei, a „Severului“ îndepărtat, pentru a munci până la exterminare, în lagărele stalinismului rus.<br />În primul rând vom remarca faptul că Hrusciov a încearcat dezicerea de Stalin, aşa cu acesta s-a dezis de Lenin şi Troţki şi de ai lor, aşa cum Gorbaciov s-a delimitat de faptele înaintaşilor conducători, prin declararea Perestroikăi... Nimic nu ar fi fost posibil pentru un singur om! Totul a fost posibil pentru popoarele prostite de elitele lor care au muşcat până la sânge din carnea altor popoare. Iar în cazul sovieticilor, chiar din sufletele propriilor popoare.<br />Nu vom putea uita imaginile în care o pionieră sovietică era copleşită cu cadouri pentru că-şi turnase la miliţie proprii părinţi, care furaseră de pe câmpurile ce odată fuseseră ale lor ceva porumb, pentru a o hrăni pe ea şi pe fraţii ei cărora nu avea să le dea nimic de mâncare...<br />Auzim la sărbătorile Bisericii Ortodoxe Române despre martiri şi despre jertfa lor. Unora li se arată locul supliciului... Altora li se spune pe scurt povestea martirizării... Cu greu sunt canonizaţi, de bisericile creştine, în urma unor cercetări amănunţite, sfinţi mai vechi sau mai noi.<br />Nu avem măsurile necesare pentru a cuvânta despre Aniţa Nandriş – Cudla, despre lupta ei întru credinţă cu criminalii şi cu epoca criminală în care a trăit. Tot ce putem arăta spre iertarea noastră, spre certitudinea cititorului acestor umile rânduri, este că am lăcrimat citind cuvintele eroinei acesteia sfinte a neamului dac...<br />La o scară aproape neînsemnată am trăit o neînsemnată viaţă asemănătoare. Am luat viaţa de la zero, fără un ajutor... Dar dânsa a trecut prin aceasta de trei ori! Dacă ar fi să amintim numai de ridicarea unui rost... Ce să mai spunen de faptul că de două ori şi-a pierdut toate rosturile... soţul... mama... a fost înstrăinată de toţi ai ei...<br />Desigur, prin manifestarea instinctului de conservare, noi cei de acum, majoritatea noastră, vrem să uităm, să ignorăm, să nu înţelegem că viaţa Aniţei este viaţa noastră, că suferinţa ei ei este suferinţa neamului din care ne tragem. Ni se pare că uitarea noastră, ignoranţa noastră îi face pe călăii de atunci, onorabilii de azi (oferindu-ne argumentele împăcării cu ei şi a liniştirii laşităţii noastre)... Că imperiile de atunci, la marginile cărora românii–daci s-au aflat mereu, sunt acum nişte mironosiţe, campioane ale apărării drepturilor omului. <br />Dinspre partea noastră, credem că doar ideologiile se schimbă, dar conducătorii imperiilor de orice fel sunt cei care perpetuează o singură doctrină emergentă tuturor elitelor: conducătorii vor da orice maselor dacă acestea li se vor supune. <br />O primă concluzie care se cristalizează este aceea că textul Aniţei este un compendiu de regionalisme şi arhaisme bucovinene – ce altceva deci decât un compendiu de cuvinte dacice...<br />Suntem avertizaţi de la început că nu este vorba de literatură. Autorul acestei consideraţii este doctorul Ghorghe Nandriş, cel care supune atenţiei omului de cultură Gariel Liiceanu manuscrisul Aniţei. Noi ne vedem obligaţi să contrazicem cu dragoste bunele intenţii ale doctorului Nandriş. Manuscrisul despre care facem vorbire este un sumum al literaturii. Unii nasc micropoeme, alţii macropoeme, alţii romane fluviu, alţii proză scurtă; unii respiră realism, alţii aspiră la constructivism; fraţilor, dragilor: Aniţa a născut o bucată de adevăr ca un coltuc de pâine; înmiresmat, cu plăcere de mâncat, în multe gânduri de digerat. Aniţa este una dintre mamele care dau naştere manei spirituale...<br />Una dintre întrebările cărora suntem nevrednici a răspunde este urmtăoarea: „Trebuie să judecăm pe călăii secerători de destine (nu neapărat omorâtori de trup...) care puneau în aplicare ordinele stăpânirilor?“ Nu ne este dat a cunoaşte decât acest răpuns, care ne ridică şi mai multe întrebări: „Moscalii sunt la fel de vinovaţi ca şi aztecii, incâaşii, romanii, turcii, spaniolii, portughezii, olandezii, francezii, englezii, germanii, polonezii, austro-ungarii, americanii – adică ca toţi făcătorii de imperii, care au umilit, torturat şi ucis oameni pentru a-şi exercita puterea: chinuind, torturând, jefuind, omorând, distrugând culturi şi popoare…<br />Întrebarea capitală ce se naşte este dacă individualităţile noastre ar fi făcut parte din acele aparate criminale, noi ce-am fi făcut?!...<br />Cel mai probabil poate că, din cauza îndoctrinării, a lipsei de informare, a necunoaşterii unei alte realităţi, am fi devenit – cu durere în suflet spun asta – călăi ai fiinţelor nenorocoase de felul Aniţei!<br />Cum să fii dizident dacă nu cunoşti dizidenţa. Dacă din ceea ce ştii dizidenţii sunt duşmanii poporului iar călăii poporului tău sunt „tătucii„ şi „mămucele“ celor pe care-i osândeau la suferinţe de nesuportat şi la moarte. Speranţa dumneaei este cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, speranţa domniei sale este Iisus Hristos! Cuvântul acestei femei se face auzit, dincolo de suferinţa ei! Dincolo de propria ei moarte! Aceasta este lupta care trebuie luptată. Prin cuvânt!!! <br />Cât de mare trebuie să fi fost suferinţa dar şi puterea unei femei care spunea despre cei care sufereau odată cu ea. „Care mai avia putere bocea (…)“Pg. 54.<br /> NU credem că va dăuna porofilului unui popor recunoaşterea existenţei printre cei aflaţi ca fraţii a unor cozi de topor, a uno călăi de acelaşi neam: „Vedeai nişte hoaţă dă femei sau fete, Dumnezeu le ştie (…)“ răutatea celui rău se petrece cu complicitatea noastră. El nu ar putea face nimic fără a ne avea complici. Iată aceste femei sau fete, bucovinence, care furau din casele acelor bucovineni care fuseseră ridicaţi din ordinul muscalilor.“ Pg. 55. – Dar noi toţi suntem aşa: oameni sspuşi păcatului. Mult mai vinovaţi sunt cei care nasc cuvântul cel ce va naşte călăi ce vor ucide pe cei nevinovaţi.<br /> Siferinţa Aniţei creşte până la insuportabil. Parcă urmează o şcoală de a suferi. La început, în timpul primului război mondial, austriecii şi uscalii, unii mai „legali“ alţii multa mai „ fărădelege“ trec peste satele şi comunele acestor daci – bucovineni şi tâle tulbură căile dprete ale fiinţării lor.<br /> Vine apoi ceasul cel rău al plecării în surghiun, în deportare, cu un tren de vite, spre necunoscut: „A deschis un vagon de acelia, în care era destulă lume, şi m-a ticsit şi pe mine acolo cu copii. În urma mea a trântit uşa şi a închis-o.“ Pg. 58.<br /> Ne copleşeşte sentimentul însingurării, chiar şi aşa, din spatele „televizorului“ şi de la depărtarea unei ţări intrate în Uniunea Europeană şi în NATO, a unui popor care crede că nimic rău nu i se mai poate întâmpla şi deci, nici nu mai prea are rost să se „aprere“ împotriva nimănui...<br /> Şi-apoi, ce făceau omaneii locurilor acelora, chiar în timpul primului război mondial. Ei încercau să trăiască aşa cum făceau de pe vremea tracilor: Oamenii merg la câmp, între două fromturi, cel rusesc şi cel austriac… Pe la urechile lor şuieră gloanţele. Prin pereţii şi ferestrele caselor lor trec gloanţele. Casele le sunt doborâte de obuze. Iar ai continuă riturile cele ancestrale ale sapei, coasei, recoltării. Kafka este mic copil… Realitatea este mult mai mare.<br /> Care este vina dacilor liberi bucovineni?! Numai aceea de a se fi aflat la marginea imperiului sovietic, în calea cotropitorilor moscali. Şi mai este ceva care trancende în apiritual: o endinţă mereu actuală de a lichida poporul dac. Acum prin corupţie şi pervertirea valorilor. Pe vremea comunismului prin înregimentare, eliminarea valorilor, inocularea fricii. Pe vremea fanarioţilor prin generalizarea – ca azi – a corupţiei, ciubuculoui, şpăgii… Credinţa noastră, scăparea noastră şi jertfa noastră, unt acelea care mărturisesc faptul că nimic nu se produce dacă nu vrea Dumnezeu!!!<br /> Căci, de unde au apărut aceşti călăi ai dacilor - romanii, popoarele migratoare, ruşii - dacă nu din tenebrele celui rău. Stalin – georgianul care se dădea drept rus, Ceauşoglu – ţiganul tătar care şi-a construit o biografie de român. Alţii (...) şi alţii... A fos ucisă floarea poporului dac prin uciderea voievozilor lui: de văzut în istorie… Traian, cel mai mare Iuda al poporului dac...<br />Însă, ninemi nu rezistă fără ajutorul Domnului în temniţele şi camerele de tortură; dar dacă suferinţa este pentru Slava Sa, nu va fi învinsă de nicio muncă!…<br />Cât de mult frumos tragic şi câtă smerenie, dar şi câtă autenticitate dacă găsim în cuvintele Aniţei: „...cu bucăţica de pîne care ne-o da împăcam foamia şi mutam zilele de azi pe mîne“ p 68; „... am căzut şi noi printre aceia“ p 71; „...să pîrdosîm oleacă“ p 75; „...tăiau aşa cum să zîcia pe la noi praştiu, copaci aşa ca piciorul de gros“ p 76.<br />Fraţilor, câţi dintre noi cunoaştem foamea. Nu aia de câteva zeci de minute până ne serveşte chelnerul la restaurant. Sau aia dintre momentul întreruperii vizionării unui film, fie el şi telenovelă, şi apucarea de prin frigidere a unor gustări care ar fi foat de ajuns câteva săptămâni celor deportaţi... Ci, foamea aia căreia nu aveai ce să-i dai ca să se stingă! Foamea aceia care dura zile, luni, şi ani. Foamea aia care le cosnuma trupurile şi le aducea slăbiciunea morţii. <br />Mai adăugaţi la aceasta frigul, goliciunea, munca istovitoare nu pentru a construi ceva şi chitită pentru a vă extermina! Şi boala. Şi lipsa medicamentelor... Lipsa unui acoperiş sau a unui pat amărât, din câteva scânduri negeluite... <br />Şi frica!... cea de toate zilele!<br />Cum s-ar fi putut supravieţui unui astfel de calvar?!... Doar sfinţenia Aniţei şi ajutorul Domnului i-au putut scoate de acolo...<br />„Dar după acelia două înghiţituri de pîne, aşa de tare ceria stomacu mîncare, că aşa cum mergiam pe drum mă gândeam, oare să iau o mână de nisip să vîr în gură, să închit, nu mi s-ar astâmpăra foamea.“ P 76<br /> Cât de mare trebuie să fi fost suferinţa şi însingurarea Aniţei, când, bolnavă de tifos, conştientă în durerea ei, trăia cele arătate prin cuvintele:<br />„Eu m-am luptat cu durerile toată noaptea, dar nu am stingherit din somn pe nime, căci nu avea ce să-mi deie nici un ajutor nime.“ P 77<br />„... dormeau sărmanii (copii ei, pe care simţea că-i va lăsa singuri...) gribuiţi de foame şi de frig“ p 78<br />„... în zaria focului îşi achipuia fiecare bulendrile de îmbrăcat, de încălţat.“ (pipăia) p 78<br />Apoi, scăpată ca prin minune de moartea prin boală, trece din nou în front la lupta cu condiţiile inumane de acolo, din lagăr:<br />„... la sfârşitu lui mai, începutul lui iunie, a început să se sfarme ghiaţa pe apă.“ P 83<br />„...ne-am vîrgolit aşa până a venit ciasul de sculare.“ P 86<br />„Mai rupeai un peşte şi-l mîncai, nu întrebai dacă e prăjit sau fiert, numai să împaci stomacu“ p 86.<br />Cea mai tare dintre toate trăirile, dintre toate suferinţele, era frica. Iată cum o descrie Aniţa: „Am fost tare apăsaţi, nu putiai să deschizi gura să spui un cuvînt, că nu poţi sau că îţi trebuie ceva. Dacă vra cineva să se răzbune pe tine, să-ţi facă rău, mergia la miliţie şi spunia că cutare a vorbit că nu-i bine, n-are ce mînca, n-are cu ce să se îmbrace, a vorbit de mizeri în care se afla, acela era contra statului. Dar poate că nu ştia nici cu spatele nimic, n-a vorbit nimic, dar avia un duşman şi vra să-i facă rău. Venia pe neaşteptate şi-l lua, fără să-l cheme la cercetări ca să dovedească că-i adevărat ceia ce a fost pîrît sau nu. Lumea era aşia de plină de frică, că se temia şi de umbra ei.“ P 87<br />Una din marile întrebări care se află în gura tuturor este aceasta: „Are poporul daco-român vocaţia puterii?“ Răspundem prin afirmaţiile Aniţei şi printr-o întrebare:<br />„De acuma împingeam aşa viaţa(...)“ p 88<br />„Eram atât de amătîtă, că nu mai vediam nici pe unde mărg.“ P 91<br />Oare nu am înţeles nimic din Noul Testament, din Cuvântul Domnului Nostru Iisus Hristos?!...E.L.S.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18263820844660634658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216342732056329278.post-71255649800507168922009-12-10T10:46:00.000-08:002009-12-10T10:50:26.472-08:00Kafka, pe role<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8Mch5rdN6w/SyFCXvRH_gI/AAAAAAAAADQ/OEv4TjFyD78/s1600-h/tn%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8Mch5rdN6w/SyFCXvRH_gI/AAAAAAAAADQ/OEv4TjFyD78/s320/tn%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413681202668764674" /></a><br />Sunday's<br /> <br /><br /> În prima zi în care dl.Jean se duse prin parc să povestească despre ideea lui de a finaliza o construcţie specială, care să cutremure societatea şi chiar să ducă mai departe această idee, dacă i s-ar fi aprobat, acea zi era frumoasă, calmă şi putem spune că era de fapt una din cele mai frumoase zile din viaţa sa.<br />Dl. Jean merse acasă şi văzu că soţia lui vorbise cu Harrel despre dînsul cum că ar fi doar un bătrân obişnuit cu joben şi trandafir şi care se plimbă aiurea prin parc. D-na Jean începu rapid a face un consiliu pentru această hotărâre.<br /> D-nul Garlet Hirrow băgă de seamă asta şi hotărâ să se înteleagă cu dl Jean. Se va face această uniune în unanimitate, ceva cam ca Lycer, mai exact,ca un bărbat măritat cu o majoretă sau un luptător cu o printesă cu toate că nu s-ar potrivi decât in teoria lui. Ralfuss, a zis că ,, trebuie să aibă aceleaşi idei pentru construirea unui ciclu egal, dar nu sensibil degradat".<br /> Atunci, nevasta sa decise să se aprobe această construcţie. <br />Dintr-o dată se iscă o ceartă între dl Jean si Harrel. Ce ciudat !<br /> În sfârsit s-a decis ; construcţia să se finalizeze. <br />Poate că Harrel nu s-ar fi gândit că l-ar putea paşte închisoarea. Aşa că dl Jean s-a făcut cunoscut.<br /> Herral râse din nou impreună cu soţia dl Jean.<br /> Acum el spuse:<br />- Nu sunt de acord, nu e o construcţie potrivită pentru un bătân ca dl.Jean.<br /> Lycer atacase:<br />- Dacă nu vă supăraţi, aceasta este teoria mea şi aşi vrea să mi-o păstrez.<br />- Staţi, dl. Harrel, aceasta este o construcţie foarte bună şi tare îmi doresc să fie finalizată.<br />- Hei, acestea sunt păreri ,ce ştiţi cu adevărat despre domnul Jean ?<br />- Mai bine să o facem şi dacă nu iese, cel puţin am încercat.<br />D-nul Jean o lăsă pe D-na Jean sa hotărească.<br /> Construcţia fu aprobată pentru finalizare aşadar, după parerea d-nei Jean.<br />Într-un final, construcţia era cum spuse dl.Hirrow, spectaculoasă, dar cea ce încheie povestea este că dl.Harrel este băgat la închisoare.<br />Acum abia dl Jean îsi împlineste visul fericit.<br />SFÂRSIT !<br /><br />Răzvan George IluţanE.L.S.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18263820844660634658noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216342732056329278.post-46268365446039864952009-10-27T09:45:00.000-07:002009-10-27T09:48:11.244-07:00Scriitorul Dragos Ceahoreanu - Un autoclaustrat ilustru (Recenzie la 3 dintre cartile domniei sale)Motto 1: Adresăm mesajul nostru de început criticilor noştri şi ai operei autorului recenzat, parafrazând mijloacele Mirabilului Nichita: Vor veni unii să ne spună cât de imperfect este colţul spart, fără să vadă cât de multă perfecţiune a rămas în restul cubului...<br />Motto 2: „Fără nici un cuvânt / Doar un punct şi atât.“ (Şi mai am un motiv... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 331);<br /><br /><br />Scriitorul Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Un autoclaustrat ilustru<br /><br />Argument pentru cunoaşterea - fără voia domniei sale – a unui scriitor care, deşi publicat, vrea să rămână un ilustru necunoscut... <br /><br />„Mă deranjează să mi se spună poet, sau prozator! Cine ştie ce sunt de fapt... Scriu pentru că nu pot altfel.“ îşi începea destăinuirea, radiografiindu-mă cu o privire de un calm absolut, o privire a celui care nu simte câtuşi de puţin nevoia de a demonstra nimănui nimic...<br />Faptul că scrie este pentru că nu poate altfel. Îndrăznim să ne afirmăm aici propria poziţie că scrisul nu este ca şi cum te-ai aşeza la strung şi ai produce o normă dată de şaibe, ci este ca o nevoie fiziologică a sufletului. Scrii pentru că nu poţi altfel decât să scrii...<br />Întâlnirea noastră cu Dragoş Ceahoreanu se datorează unei programări destiniene de care suntem în parte conştienţi. Cu o ocazie de un neprevăzut absolut, am dăruit una dintre lucrările noastre, ginerelui domnului Ceahoreanu, domnului Tomoioagă: ginerele scriitorului. Iată că acest gest neînsemnat ne-a creat această uriaşă satisfacţie de a scrie despre unul dintre oamenii de litere adevăraţi ai Aradului, alături de Mircea Micu, Gheorghe Schwartz, Vasile Dan, Horia Ungureanu, Vladimir Belity, Constatin Butunoi şi Horia Ştefan Simon, dacă ar fi să amintim numai pe cei mai reprezentativi. (Pentru consolarea celor ne-amintiţi aici, recomandăm consultarea „Dicţionarului de retorică“ al subsemnatului, Ed. Concordia Arad, 2009, unde au fost analizaţi 91 de autori arădeni şi de aiurea, din i-mediatele apropieri, cu cele 118 lucrări ale domniile lor, însumâmd peste 4500 de pagini). <br />În cursul dialogului deosebit de antrenant şi de plăcut, scriitorul îmi înmânează trei cărţi ale domniei sale. Simt un fel de neîncredere în gestul său. Nu-şi face iluzii că-l voi înţelege. Fapt de-altfel, absolut generalizat, în receptarea autorilor de către alţii... Care devine un imbold pentru mine de a-i parcurge scrierile, atât cât sunt cuprinse în cele trei lucrări, cu maximă atenţie, cu respect, astfel încât recenzia lor să fie una, dacă nu la înălţimea operei – căci cine poate înţelege total opera unui scriitor?-... - , decât poate, uneori, însuşi scriitorul -, cel puţin una cinstită, obiectivă şi acurată...<br />Am avut plăcerea de a parcurge într-o seară şi o dimineaţă de octombrie 2009 (...şi cu soare şi cu ploaie...): „Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor“ (Ed. Mirador, 2007), „Lumini şi umbre“ (Ed. Mirador, 2008) şi „Octavian“ (Ed. Mirador, 2009). Primele două titluri sunt cărţi de poezie. „Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor“ denumeşte o lucrare florilegică, antologică, de dimensiuni impresionante – 345 pagini, iar a doua, „Lumini şi umbre“ este un produs de maturitate estetică şi poetică (subiect nu tocmai uşor de tratat şi de cristalizat în cazul autorului de faţă, fapt asupra căruia vom reveni în curpinsul prezentei recenzii...) , având lungimea de 92 pagini. Deşi definit de autor ca o sumă de povestiri, romanul „Octavian“ îşi derulează acţiunea pe 88 de pagini.<br />Lectura poeziilor (dar şi a prozei) scriitorului Dragoş Ceahoreanu nu ne-a fost deloc uşoară. Am spune chiar dimpotrivă! Ne-a produs nenumărate nedumeriri pentru clarificarea cărora am tot recurs la ajutorul autorului – ne cerem pe această cale scuze pentru să i-am tot invadat cu întrebările noastre, uneori inoportune, falia de univers în care s-a retras!...<br />Să începem cu prima carte: „Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor“ (Ed. Mirador, 2007)“. Un prim semn de întrebare se conturează la vederea intervalului de timp în care au fost scrise poeziile: 1953 – 2006. Adică 53, de ani fraţilor în ale scrisului şi ale cititului! O carte cât o viaţă de om!...<br />Ceea ce ni s-a impus ca o concluzie, încă de la primele poezii citite, este faptul că pare că autorul în unele aspecte nu evoluează de loc. În altele de schimbă permanent.<br />Cu permisiunea dumneavoastră vom încerca să explicităm. <br />Dacă ar fi să ilustrăm evoluţia scriiturii lui Dragoş Ceahoneanu, din punctul nostru de vedere – desigur strict personal şi deci limitat din cauza subiectivismului – ar trebui să utilizăm modelul matematic al unei spirale ascendente ce evoluează în jurul unei drepte având originea în sufletul scriitorului şi finalitatea în infinitatea universală, având amplitudinea abaterilor faţă de dreapta ascendentă din ce în ce mai mici, atât în ceea ce priveşte evoluţia mijloacelor artistice cât şi a subiectelor abordate.<br />Autorul se aruncă cu o extraordinară dorinţă de clarificare, în primul rând a propriului eu, spre toate subiectele existenţei. De la război, cântec, mitoligie, dragoste, sensurile vieţii, mama, patria, pribegia, la liniştirea şi găsirea sensului în credinţa creştină.<br />Dar odată descoperite unele răspunsuri, nu se opreşte asupra lor ca asuprea unor pietre de hotar, ci le experientează iar şi iar, cu îndoială; poate cu teama de a fi găsit răspunsurile, şi deci de a rămâne fără rosturile întrebărilor.<br />Căci întreaga sa existenţă, întreaga sa fiinţă, sunt clădite având la bază esenţele veşnicelor întrebări, a incertitudinii permanente şi a meditării continue, paradimatice, asupra sensului vieţii.<br />Analiza strict scriitoricească a versurilor lui Dragoş Ceaureanu, ne relevă o multitudine a mijloacelor retorice, utilizate magistral încă de la vârsta tinereţii, pe care o parcurgea în anii 1953. Acesta a fost unul dintre aspectele care ne-a determinat să îl întrebăm dacă a revenit asupra poeziilor de atunci, sau nu. Răspunsul domniei sale a fost unul negativ. Deci poetul poseda încă de la primele scrieri o cunoaştere - noi am spune de un talent nativ, încă necultivat – a mijloacelor versificaţiei, a ilustraţiei poetice de nivel superior. Deloc de neglijat este şi simţul acut al ritmului şi echilibrului în poeziile domniei sale. Însă, cea mai pregnantă trăsătură este aceea a putinţei de a crea metabole de tipul metasememelor, prin explorarea unor tărâmuri ale filozofiei, fără a cădea în didacticism sau în filozofare sterile: „Norocul, ca în joacă, pe-o floare să-l socot“ (În nopţile de iarnă... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 13); „O amintire dragă înseamnă un popas / În hoinăreala noastră pe-ntinderile moarte (...)(În nopţile de iarnă... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 13).<br />Nu putem trece cu vederea, deşi exprimăm acum un loc comun, o tautologie, că poeziile de început sunt tributare limbajului vremii. Dar rugămintea noastră este de a trata afirmaţia aceasta ca o simplă constatare, căci este de aceeaşi factură cu aceea prin care am spune că Homer şi-a dictat Iliada şi Odiseea în greaca veche!...<br />Autorul are o mare putere de a sugera imagini şi sentimente prin utilizarea cuvântului scris. Am adăsta asupra următorului vers:<br />„M-aş opri zărindu-ţi umbra tremurată în perdele,“ (Nostalgie /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 16).<br />Dragoş Ceahoreanu este un spirit inovativ, în permanentă căutare a unui absolut aflat mereu mai departe de limitele atinse la un moment dat. Inovaţii domniei sale sunt legate şi de începutul unor dintre poezii. Ilustrăm aici prin cele ce urmează:<br />„Ascult. Cine să-mi bată la uşă pe-aşa vreme“ (Frig /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 21).<br />De cele mai multe ori, versurile de început ne introduc direct în atmosfera locului poetic unde autorul îşi cântă etosul:<br />„E tăcere şi e noapte. Pe colina părăsită“ (Legendă /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 30).<br />Deşi una dintre primele noastre griji, în tot ceea ce intreprindem pe tărâm literar, este aceea de a urma principiul enunţat de Marele Nichita şi-anume acela că: „Un poet nu poate fi mai mic sau mai mare decât un alt poet! Un poate poate fi mai mic sau mai mare în raport cu sine însuşi“, consecvenţă care ne obligă la refuzarea oricăror clasificări dar şi a oricăror alăturări (a utilizării comparaţiei cu alţi scriitori pe post de referenţial...), trebuie să afirmă că trei sunt influenţele către care clivează unele dintre poeziile lui Dragoş Ceaureanu.<br />Primul gen ar fi cel al „Florii albastre“ a lui Mihai Eminescu. Astfel, poeziile „Gura lumii“ (Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 26), Cântec (Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 37), „Cântecel de dragoste“ (Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 51), sunt doar câteva din poeziile de o mare sensibilitate a prelucării ritmului folcloric, din care vom reda, sperăm că nu cele mai ne-ilustrative, următoarele versuri:<br />„A ştiut când singuratic / Rătăceam cărări ascunse, / Sufletului meu să-i deie / Vrăji de nimenea pătrunse.“ (Cântec /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 37).<br />Un alt reper poetic este cel în care se constituie tristeţea, angoasa, care au fost şi ale lui George Bacovia. Trebuie precizat însă, de la început, că tristeţea poeziilor (dar şi a prozei, aşa cum vom vedea mai târziu), în cazul autorului Dragoş Ceahoeanu, este una asumată, echilibrată, profundă, fără excese morbide. <br />Astfel, autorul menţionat, scrie despre „Moartea orfanului“: „Prin ramuri vântul îl îngână / Şi ramurile plâng în vânt/ Doi oameni sapă în ţărână / Lângă cel vechi, un nou mormânt“ (În nopţile de iarnă... /(Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 26). <br />Nu întâmplător îi considerăm scriitura una tristă, iremedial sceptică – aşa, ca o armă de apărare, ca un scut -, deloc happy – end-ică... Autorul este aproape mereu trist, aproape permanent cuprins de o angoasă dulce – amăruia, ca gutuia pusă în fereastra unei case bătrâneşti din Bucovina, pentru a se lupta cu imaginea dezolantă a pustiului alb de iarnă, ce trece, cu corbi cu tot, prin ferestrele sufletului...<br />Cuvintele cele mai des utilizate sunt de factura celor ce urmează: „iarnă, afară, frig, umbră, cernit, coşmar, clopot de aramă, amar, singurătate, zăpadă, uitat–uitare, colţ, pustiu, tristeţe–întristare, monstru, minciună, genune, abis, dor“ ... cu toate dezvoltările lor paradigmatice:<br />„Ştiu, ţi-s gândurile grele ca de plumb, inima rece / Şi-mpietrită de durere peste viaţă te petrece...“ (Legendă /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 33).<br />Se pare că fiorul poetic şi respectiv prozodic al autorului sunt generate de o tristeţe permanentă, care are doar o rezolvare parţială şi temporară în explorarea fiorului hieratic – spre care autorul tinde din ce în ce mai des în special în poeziile din volumul „Lumini şi umbre“, ca o consecinţă, am spune cauzală, a trecerii prin viaţă, şi ca un rezultat firesc al căutării continue, a unor certitudini gnoseologice şi epistemiologice ale autorului. Au rezultat de-a lungul timpului poezii precum: „Psalm“, „Parafrazându-l pe Petre Ţuţea“, „Gânduri“, „Sens“„Credinţa“, „Despre Dumnezeu“ „Spovedanie“, dar ar fi să enumerăm doar o mică parte.<br />Trebuie să ne exprimăm senzaţia că odată ajuns prin evoluţia calitativă a spiralei de care vorbeam în deschiderea prezentei recenzii, la salvarea prin credinţă, autorul dă naştere unor creaţii consecutive ce se menţin în acelaşi registru, pentru ca apoi să treacă la explorarea manifestă a unor alte îndoieli şi incertitudini.<br />Ne mărginim să cităm doar un „corolar“, cum am numi, încheierea poeziei „Sens“:<br />„Are valoare suferinţa / Când sensul ei este credinţa“ (Sens /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 81).<br />Tot aici dorim să amintim cu o nedisimulată satisfacţie cunoaşterea hieratică şi deopotrivă mistică, profunde, ale autorului, care se mişcă cu uşurinţă iniţiatică şi cu smerenie, în universul mistic, esoteric şi patristic al creştinismului: „Cu pace ne vom spune-n gând / Că l-am găsit pe Dumnezeu“ (Doar El... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 92), „Un cerşetor ai întâlnit în drum / Cu ochii trişti, de drumuri vlăguit; / Cu nepăsare tu l-ai miluit / Şi l-ai lăsat să treacă. Prinţul tău / Era acela (...)“ (Necugetare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 98).<br />De o factură aparte dar şi de o suculenţă cum ne-a fost dat să întâlnim în pelerinajele noastre literare doar la Adrian Păunescu (şi de ce nu, şi la Marin Sorescu), este poezia „Moarte“, din care redăm aici strofele 1 şi 4:<br />„Se poate muri încet, / Se poate muri dintr-o dată, / Se poate muri ca poet, / Se poate muri simplu, iată.// Se poate muri de copil / Sau mult mai târziu, ca părinte, / Cum moare lumina-n fitil / Şi focul în jarul fierbinte“ (Moarte /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 252).<br />Poetul are unele teme favorite, dintre care enumerăm doar câteva: mama, patria, omul, Iisus Hristos, femeia, moartea, iar dintre înaintaşi îi alege şi brodează pe marginea sensurilor operelor lor, pe Petre Ţuţea şi Nicolae Iorga.<br /> Aminteam mai devreme de diversitatea mijloacelor retorice utilizate de scriitorul Dragoş Ceahoreanu. Pentru a ilustra afirmaţia noastră vom exemplifica mai jos câteva dintre metabolele prezente în opera domniei sale:<br />- Ingambament: „Lumina lămpii-am stins-o demult, în încăpere / Sunt singur. Gândul prinde să depene un vis“ (Vis, coşmar, himeră... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 17);<br />- Epanadiploză: „Foc în vine / Şi-n ochi foc.“ (Gura lumii ]/Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 27);<br />- Eliziune: „Să’nalţe ecouri la steaua de foc.“ (Steaua uitării /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 39);<br />- Sinereză: „Rămas-au toate neschimbate-aice,“ (Sonete /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 41);<br />- Antorism: „Sub pulberea de raze icoanele învie“ (Cronică matrimonială /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 42);<br />- Chiasm: „Te chem din seară până-n zori / Şi te aştept din zori şi până-n seară“ (Aşteptare sfioasă / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 46);<br />- Personificare: „Când cerul stelele-şi aprinde“ (Aşteptare sfioasă /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 46);<br />- Afereză: „Nu sunt la o răscruce de vânturi un stejar (...) / Nici chiar singurătatea / Sunt cel mai singur om.“ (Nu sunt... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 49);<br />- Anaforă: „Îl simt dogorindu-mi privirile, /Îl simt pustiindu-mi inima...“ (Sufletul meu... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 62);<br />Dar să nu mai plictisim distinsul nostru cititor cu o abordare prea tehnică a scriiturii lui Dragoş Ceahoreanu. Vom mai adăuga aici că poeziile domniei sale abordează aproape toate genurile mari cunoscute, de la gazel, rondel, sonet şi până la poeziile de factură populară sau la poemele de mari dimensiuni; în legătură cu acest ultim gen menţionat ne exprimă admiraţia la adresa autorului pentru curajul de a scrie, în epoca pe care o traversăm, astfel de poezii. Nu cunoaştem alt exemplu decât cel al lui Cărtărescu, faţă de a cărui ce-a de-a doua parte a lucrării „levantul“ (Bucureşti, Humanitas, 2004) ne exprimăm profunda dezamăgire în câteva cuvinte: nu a ştiut unde să se orească...<br />De remarcat este bunul simţ desăvârşit cu care Dragoş Ceahoreanu tratează subiectele erotice. Nu este vulgar, dar nici sterp. Nu este explicit, dar nici de neînţeles. Îi sare din nou, domniei sale, în ajutor, puterea sa excepţională de a alătura cuvinte pentru a sugera, prin metafore, sentimente, trăiri (uneori deloc departe de carnal...). Frumuseţea poeziilor sale de dragoste, îndrăznim să spunem, este definitorie pentru acest autor:<br />„Cum m-aş preface în apa în care tu te scalzi / Ca toată-a mea făptură să-ţi învelească trupul, / Să-ţi mângâie obrajii, şi umerii şi gâtul / Şi coapsele, mijlocul, şi sânii tari şi calzi“ (Pe un poet /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 68).<br />„în încleştarea aceea a trupurilor, care nu mai ţinea nici de viaţă şi nici de moarte“; „cu sânii tari umplând ca nişte roade căuşul palmelor lui“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 35);<br />În universul erotic al poetului, pe bolta cerească strălucesc însă „Stelele ca nişte cuie“ (Un punct... /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 76), care punctează din nou, eliptic, dezamăgirea, tristeţea, neîncrederea în finalitatea fericită a dragostei.<br />Am creat pentru studiul de faţă o categorie specială în care am clasat unele frumuseţi a căror anvergură nu ne-a dat libertatea de a le clasifica în altă parte: „Superb“... Din această categorie cităm:<br />„Femeie fără tine am fost o mare moartă (...) / Trăia în mine omul dar mort era poetul,“ (Inimă nebună /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 67);<br />„Acolo unde cerul şi pământul / Ne par mereu că se îmbrăţişează / Şi unde-aş vrea să îmi săpaţi mormântul“ (Lumini şi umbre /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 38);<br />„Din desfăcute braţe de castan / Pe banca unde vechiul vis se pierde / îşi lasă muşchiul catifeaua verde, / Tot mai pustie de la an la an.“ (Migdale amare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 9);<br />„Eu am iubit şi nu mă tem să mor; / E moartea tot iubire, cu alt nume.“ (Migdale amare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 9);<br />„Azi şoaptele sunt tot mai des tăceri“ (Migdale amare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 11);<br />În cel de-al doilea volum de poezie – „Lumini şi umbre“ - avem de-a face nu cu o poezie matură, pentru că în cazul autorului nostru, încă de la începuturi am detectat o împlinire în scriere, ci mai degrabă cu o poezie realizată, pe de-antregul asumată:<br />„Tu înţelegi şi fără de cuvinte / Când sufletul întreg mi-e în privire / Şi când tăcerea-i tot mărturisire,“ (Migdale amare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 14);<br />„ca-ntr-un tablou pictat de Dumnezeu, / Pe pânza nopţii blând răsare luna, / iar dintre stele una câte una / Se dăruie, clipind, ochiului meu.“ (Înnoptare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 40).<br />O caracteristică a trării poetice a lui Dragoş Ceahoreanu este încercarea continuă de autodefinire a condiţiei de scriitor, de poet, prin analizarea în numeroase ars-poetica, a sensului vieţii şi operei domniei sale. Dintre poeziile de această factură enumerăm: „Mărturisire“, „Şi mai am un motiv“, „Eu...?“, „Sunt poezie?...“, „Sinteză“ (pe care am îndrăzni s-o numi „Ars unica“), „?“ (Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor / Dragoş Ceaureanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, pg.:322, 330, 304, 209, 107).<br />Aşa cum Mirabilul Nichita, citat în „motto 1“ la prezenta recenzie, spunea despre valoarea poeziilor unui autor, că: (cităm aproximativ...) „un poet are 10-15 poezii mari...“, ne arogăm dreptul de a fi descoperit la poetul Dragoş Ceahoreanu, una dintre aceste mari poezii, pe care o redăm în cele ce urmează:<br />„Iubire, mai scaldă-mi cu apele tale <br />Privirea, cu zâmbet acoperă-mi gura,<br />Din inima mea pârjolită odată, <br />Îmi scutură zgura<br /><br />Şi sufletul mort mi-l întoarce la viaţă<br />Cum ploaia se-ntoarce mereu la izvoare,<br />Cenuşa din vatră în jar mi-o întoarce<br />Căldura în soare...<br /><br />Pe mine în mine întoarce-mă iară<br />Aşa cum în sâmburi întorcu-se merii;<br />Furtuna stârnită în scoica urechii<br />Redă-o tăcerii.<br /><br />Din sânge îmi curăţă toată rugina<br />Şi negura deasă din cerul privirii<br />Şi pune-mi pe actul renaşterii mele<br />Pecetea iubirii.<br /><br />Apoi, când întreaga poveste e spusă,<br />Ţărâna pământului dă-o-n ulcele<br />S-ontoarcă olarul, iar sufletul, liber,<br />Aruncă-l la stele.“ <br />(Invocare /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Lumini şi umbre, Ed. Mirador, 2008, pg. 53).<br /><br />Ne mărginim, la acestea zise, în legătură cu poezia autorului Dragoş Ceahoreanu, o poezie metonimică, sinecdotică, un loc comun al contrariilor, definită printr-o superbă metaforă, de autorul însuşi: „Cu poezia mea – ghem de cuvinte-„ (Timpul /Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor, Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 77).<br />Proza domnului Dragoş Ceahoreanu este una poetizantă. Spunem aceata referindu-ne la romanul domniei sale intitulat „Octavian“ (Arad, Ed.: Mirador, 2009) – pe care însă autorul îl clasifică din modestie ca fiind: „nişte povestiri“. <br />În dezvoltarea romanului abordează, de data această în proză, aceleaşi nelinişti, aceleaşi întrebări, căutând aceleaşi răspunsuri ca şi în poezie.<br />Şi utilizând, uneori, aceleaşi mijloace: <br />„lăsând deschise porţile sufletului pentru noi impresii, ochii deschişi pentru noi privelişti.“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 7);<br />„Ochi mari, întunecoşi şi adânci, ca două ferestre prin care puteai pătrunde în suflet.“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 8);<br />„tristeţi înţepătoare de ţânţari“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 11);<br />„să aprind fără să mă las atins de foc“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 12);<br />„În botetul de foc al soarelui pe înălţimi, în baia de umbre a codrilor, în simfonia murmurului de ape am să-mi purific sufletul, inima, mintea, şi am să încerc să învăţ ce este dragostea şi ce este Dumnezeu.“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 15);<br />Tot în romanul „Octavian“ întâlnim şi o „ars poetica“, o reiterare a temei „a fi sau a nu fi poet“:<br />„- Dar eu nu sunt poet...<br />- Totuşi scrii poezii... (...)<br />- În general, nu-mi place nici un fel de titlu...“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 18).<br />Şi din nou o revenire la mijloacele poeziei:<br />„Se uita cu nostalgie la cerul de leşie, care se târa pe dealuri, aluneca în văi, se zdrenţuia de crestele ascuţite.“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 26);<br />„Îndată are să spintece soarele pânza aceasta cenuşie“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 26);<br />„După o săptămână de ceaţă, soarele a repezit printre nori prima suliţă de foc şi a început să topească zăpada. Se desprindeau, fâşie cu fâşie, covoarele albe şi lunecau la vale descoperind limbi negre de pământ jilav şi aburind în soare“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 63);<br />„Gânduri vin în minte ca stolui negre de corbi croncănitori peste un pustiu semănat cu cadavre“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 74).<br />Constant cu sine însuşi, prozatorul, de această dată, Dragoş Ceahoreanu, nu admite un final fericit poveştii lui Octavian, aşa cum am fi tentaţi să crede până l final, ci îl răpune tragic, chiar în finalul romanului:<br />„Bombardamentul se înteţi iar. (...) O sută de paşi îi mai despărţeau de pădure... cinzeci... zece... un pas... (...) Printre buze i se prelise o şuviţă caldă şi sărată, purtând singurele cuvinte pe care le mai putea rosti: - Laura, copilul... Leşină, strângând în pumn ţărână amestecată cu sânge...“ (Octavian / Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2009, pg. 87).<br />De fapt, în urma parcurgerii romanului, ne face plăcere să credem că Octavian este, de fapt şi de drept, Dragoş. Desigur că întru suveranitatea sa de scriitor, de demiurg al universului creat prin proza sa, îşi rezervă un sfârşit spectaculos, spectacular, de tragedie greacă, de catharsis universal şi de clarificare individuală a sensurilor existenţiale.<br />În încheierea prezentei recenzii, recunoaştem, la adresa modului în care l-am experientat pe autorul, de proză şi poezie, Dragoş Ceahoreanu, că nu l-am parcurs uşor. Ni s-au transmis: zbuciumul, suferinţa, sentimentul acut al pustiirii sufleteşti şi al luptei continue pentru a crede în ceva salvator...<br />Încheiem cu conştiinţa faptului de a nu fi abordat toate aspectele acestei foarte complexe scriituri şi trăiri artistice ale lui Dragoş Ceahoreanu, citând, parţial, ceea ce noi am numit: „Ars Unica“...:<br />„E inima mea un grăunte de carne<br />Şi-un picur de sânge în care a vrut<br />Nedreptul, perfidul destin să răstoarne<br />Un munte de griji de la bun început.<br /><br />E ochiul fereastră cu gene perdele<br />În umbra cărora, în taină, visez<br />Cu gând călător pe cărare de stele...<br />Urechea – o scoică golită de miez<br /><br />În care să-şi cânte oceanul povestea,<br />iar viaţa pârâu şerpuind printre stânci;<br />Amestec haotic de toate acestea, <br />Mănunchi de lumini şi de umbre adânci.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Dar Domnul răspunsul ni-l dă cu povaţă<br />Ca sufletul cărnii să nu-l zălogim.<br />De vrem să avem o speranţă de viaţă<br />Noi trupul pe suflet să ni-l răstignim.“<br />(Sinteză / Viaţa ca o zi sau Moara cuvintelor: Dragoş Ceahoreanu – Arad: Ed. Mirador, 2007, pg. 209).<br />Vă mulţumim, domnule Dragoş Ceahoreanu, pentru scriitura dezvăluitoare şi dăruitoare de suflet, cu care ne-aţi împărtăţit!E.L.S.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18263820844660634658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216342732056329278.post-85030231177873426842009-10-27T09:20:00.000-07:002009-10-27T09:21:13.312-07:00Poetul Alin Golea - ImpresiiTi-am daruit un pumn nisipos de pamant, <br />Care printre degetele mainii s-a prelins<br />Si a cazut pe un mai de jos pamant.<br />E nisipul marii, ba al stelelor, ba al strigarii, <br />Si-om sta rand, pe rand, numarand, <br />Bob cu bob nisipul disperarii, <br />In idei si de-ale mele arzand.<br />Si chipul Deificat se va boci de nepricepere, <br />Niciodata mai departe, Sau mai altfel, <br />In ideile care vin mereu de-ale mele, <br />De-ale voastre, asezand la rand, bob cu bob, <br />Nisipul stelelor, al marii si-al strigarii disperarii<br />Arzand.<br />De ce mi-ai daruit un pumn nisipos de pamant, <br />Luat de-aiurea, de pretutindeni si nicicand, <br />Na-veam de unde sti ca-i mana unui inger<br />Ce rareori imparte din pamantul sfant.E.L.S.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18263820844660634658noreply@blogger.com1
