"The soul of the poem"

so often: reading a poem, soul, suddenly freezes for some phrase, a line that touched in the heart of the depths of your being!This poetic lines pulsing through his veins and flowed already in your blood, carrying vital energy throughout the body words.And, indeed, this special line is forever imprinted in every cell of your body, and you repeat them again and again, admiring its beauty and depth beyond.

And you know what -
lines of poetry?
That is not something with something in a word,
It - Vienna at the verse.

And, pulsing, streaming
Every time the lines life,
If someone suddenly dare
Prosheptanem take and plow up -

reared verse, dropping through the veins,
Eloquence rook ...
the poet followed through walls -
to try and... pass.

great Russian composer Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), the founder of Russian classical music, says: "In order to create beauty, we must be very pure soul."How can stem from a pure source of the dirty water, or from dirty - clean.This truth is given to us by God.Where the soul learns this truth?"The soul is by nature Christian" - this profound thought, indeed Creed Orthodox Church belongs to the teacher Tertullian, who lived at the turn of II-III centuries BC.That is, the person who originally created the Creator in the image and likeness of God, has an internal need to communicate with Him.Without this communication, like a cut from a tree branch, it withers and dies spiritually, and physically.His life turns into nonsense, into the empty burning through time in pursuit of the satisfaction of earthly needs, which can not be satisfied completely.That Christianity has its own particular concept of life and the world, organic and systematic, different from all other philosophies of mankind.


«Christianity is a revelation of the truth of Heaven, the Good News to the human race, not coming from a man or an angel, but from the Lord God and Creator."The essence of Christianity is - love.But not the one natural, inherent not only to man, but to all living things on earth, and true - the divine.This divine love is real, genuine.This kind of love - is the pinnacle, the bond of perfection in man, which is acquired gradually over the whole of human life.The best achievements in life are performed with such love, such love breathes every living cell in the world.Christianity teaches that natural love - romantic, dreamy, emotional and sensual, which awakens us apart and disappear as besides us, and it also can be transformed "in the twinkling of an eye in a frenzied hatred."Such love is selfish, it exists only as long as the reach of the ego - my wishes."Selfishness in disguise" - calls such love Paul Florensky.In fact, we are all infected by the desire for pleasure, money, fame of the earth, and the impossibility of achieving these aspirations, it leads to suffering.There is a spiritual law - the true love is impossible where there is no self-knowledge, and hence the resultant humility.Selfishness kills true love, and until we begin to deal with the passions within us, by our selfish desires, bringing us suffering, we reach the truth and love of God.No wonder Christianity is called the clinic, the hospital, which has all the means to cure selfishness.T.Travnik his poetic lines encourages us all to find, understand and live that true love:

know love - and love to live.
Not fussy feelings of passion, jealousy
artfully whose taste
disgustingly familiar.

And in that love, where there is no more
Neither women nor men, a light,
Uniform color, single tone
love will be dubbed the ...

and continue not to divide myself
love of friends, love of enemies,
Lovea favorite, unloved -
Everything will be whole and united.

The final stanza of this poem vividly describes T.Travnika as - Orthodox Christian poet, in which the poet expresses his understanding of exactly love for man.Whichever side of life nor the poet revealed in his poetic creations, Christian Orthodox worldview permeates throughout the poetic creativity Terentiya Travnika.This is especially clearly felt in the philosophical and spiritual religious poems, bringing the reader to the heart of the theme of God in human life, revealing its importance in the life of the device on the ground, the meaning of life and death, a special patriotism of the Russian people.Speaking of himself in the context of poetry, the author candidly admits the influence of poetry itself on the formation of his personality, as a poet, his increasing understanding of vital issues of the meaning of life and a sense of God's presence in every moment of his life.Referring to the Creator, the poet humbly requests that "poetry bow»:

You aroused my love
to the search words in the breath of life,
words that are converted flesh
only one commandment of thought.

Take, Lord, verses bow -
gift poet and rebel,
But be at least a point in unison
in them that we call the universe,
That means that life was not in vain
temoyu becoming paramount!

with God in mind and based on the main Orthodox Christian truths, poet successfully solves the main task of man - consciously creates himself as a person, sacrificing, and sometimes even a successful self-manifestation outside.Orthodox Christian worldview gives T.Travniku inner freedom and a deep understanding of the fact that the maximum development and manifestation of the artist in the external world of all its abilities, capabilities and talents, but without God in the soul is indispensable to death.
Connecting two centuries of the twentieth and twenty-first time for Russia is unique - it is the revival of the Spirit."The spiritual hunger", accumulated over seventy years of atheism in the country, resulted in the need to find answers to questions relating to concepts such as truth, God, the meaning of human life, the human condition.The soul of man reached for the books of the psychological, religious, philosophical direction of the Spirit and spiritual.It is becoming increasingly important to modern society logotherapy of Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) - Austrian psychiatrist, a psychologist and a neurologist, a prisoner of the Nazi concentration camp, which resembles a man that "he is a Spirit, and he is the spiritual being."The main principle of speech therapy is the assertion that man does not live for pleasure and avoidance of pain, and to understand and realize the meaning of his life - this is the first way.The second - the meaning can be found by the search and implementation of actions aimed spiritually, by experiencing profound essence of another person, his values ​​of love for him.And the third way - the most difficult.This understanding, finding a sense of their own suffering in a situation that you can not change.What poetry can help a person in his life?This is - the spiritual poetry, poetry is a spiritual experience, the same "high poetry", which wrote Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) - Russian poet, novelist, translator, one of the greatest Russian poets of the XX century, in his classification of poets.Certainly, poetry T.Travnika is the strongest means of awakening of spirituality in man.As they pass through the spiritual tests throughout life, "is - the hero, then ... an outcast Lost", the poet has gained invaluable spiritual experience, describing it in his work "taking all hearts burning for gifts - life thanks to", "inI started this - present: I breathe, I live, I - love. "The conscious attitude to the events of his life - his faith and love, encounter with death, the so-called existential pain associated with the loss of the most expensive, search for the meaning of their existence and activities with respect to life, gave a tremendous spiritual growth of his personality.Addressing his readers, T.Travnik says:


... I'm not a poet, but duhoslov.
I burn poems, thought to move, they move apart
fastening lines,
fill them with a hearty sense ...

you have to wonder -
and joy in this, it does not matter, shy
What kind of changes your
the substitution of false shame.

And you read what I
All these years, rhyming,
Open in himself - himself,
was started to begin with.

The final two lines of the poem hidden purpose of all poetry T.Travnika.This lofty goal - to help his readers discover 'self-confidence, its roots began to "the poet sees his ministry.And the beginning of the poem - also, unusual and at the same time symbolic and typical of the author: "I" - T.Travnik writes in small letters.This conscious way, the poet emphasizes that he is - only an intermediary, transmitting and wafting through the poetic word, is quite different, sacred, great and eternal Word, the divine truth and revelation."The Lord revealed to me the power of the Word and the blood drawn in ink" - so begins one of his early poems of the poet.Maybe that's why the author calls himself "duhoslovom" those who investigates and discovers the soul of our otherwise sound that said, read, duhoslovnym storyteller, not just a poet who knows how to elegantly and cleverly rhyming.This deliberate move: the small capital letter "I", especially in the beginning of the line or stanza, the poet uses often to, God forbid, "become proud of words flowing gift."Thus, the author hones his work not only in content but also in visual-graphic design.It is here manifested his word beautiful gift of the artist, and Travnik - artist.For many years the poet has not parted with palette and easel.
And, indeed, poetry T.Travnika like weaved not only the depth, but also from the many wonderful facets of color reality.Each line of the phrase - have their own sub-plans and branches.Repeatedly re-read his lines and stanzas.I was fascinated, and this diversity is expanding, and my understanding of life and death, or rather the transition from life to death.For many years, engaged in serious psychology of creativity, namely literary works, I do not often have ever met such poems, few touches in these verses the depth of which is so often the poet says Travnik.I guess not everyone is taking over the creative word, is entitled to slightly open the depth for us, the readers.A feeling that Travnik really hear the whisper of the transcendence and transmits these messages to us through his poetic word, through his amazing gift.
