Description
The same comment as on this one[link]
The innermost spiritual sense of Orthodox Monasticism is revealed in joyful mourning.
This paradoxical phrase denotes a spiritual state in which a monk in his prayer grieves for the sins of the world at at the same time experiences the regenerating spritual joy of Christ's forgiveness and resurrection.
A monk dies in order to live, he forgets himself in order to find his real self in God, he becomes ignorant of worldly knowledge in order to attain real spiritual wisdom which is given only to the humble ones.
The shot - taken in Serbia.

"One night when she was carrying him in her belly she heard him weeping. It was such a definate lament that Jose Arcadio Buendia woke up beside her and was hapyp with the idea that his son was going to be a ventriloquist. Other people predicted that he would be a prophet. She, on the other hand, shuddered from the certainty that the deep moan was a first indication of the fearful pig tail and she begged God tolet the child die in her womb. BUt the lucidity of her old age allowed her to see, and she said so many times, that the cries of children in their mother's wombs are not announcements of ventriloquism or a faculty for prophecy but an unmistakable sign of an incapacity for love."
