Moja srčna želja je, da bi skozi ta spoznavanja in poezijo pričarala vse tisto, kar nam le-ta prinaša – tako na osebni kot na kolektivni ravni. Želim prenesti sporočilo, da nam je bila poezija v oporo že od nekdaj, le da smo jo morda sčasoma preslišali.

Poezija je nekaj naravnega in bistvenega za človeka. O tem ne priča le moja izkušnja, temveč tudi zgodovina: v času ustnega izročila je bila prav poezija temeljno sredstvo za prenos znanja in sporočil. Hkrati nam pomaga, da lažje pridemo v stik s samim seboj.

Tokrat z vami delim le en citat. Zapisan je v angleščini – če vam je jezik tuj, si brez skrbi pomagajte s sodobnimi prevajalskimi orodji, saj je misel vredna branja.

“Most intellectuals and most artists belong to the same type. Only the strongest of them force their way through the atmosphere of the bourgeois earth and attain to the cosmic. The others all resign themselves or make compromises. Despising the bourgeoisie, and yet belonging to it, they add to its strength and glory; for in the last resort they have to share their beliefs in order to live. The lives of these infinitely numerous persons make no claim to the tragic; but they live under an evil star in a quite considerable affliction; and in this hell their talents ripen and bear fruit. The few who break free seek their reward in the unconditioned and go down in splendor. They wear the thorn crown and their number is small. The others, however, who remain in the fold and from whose talents the bourgeoisie reaps much gain, have a third kingdom left open to them, an imaginary and yet a sovereign world, humor. The lone wolves who know no peace, these victims of unceasing pain to whom the urge for tragedy has been denied and who can never break through the starry space,who feel themselves summoned thither and yet cannot survive in its atmosphere—for them is reserved, provided suffering has made their spirits tough and elastic enough, a way of reconcilement and an escape into humor. Humor has always something bourgeois in it, although the true bourgeois is incapable of understanding it. In its imaginary realm the intricate and manyfaceted ideal of all Steppenwolves finds its realisation. Here it is possible not only to extol the saint and the profligate in one breath and to make the poles meet, but to include the bourgeois, too, in the same affirmation. Now it is possible to be possessed by God and to affirm the sinner, and vice versa, but it is not possible for either saint or sinner (or for any other of the unconditioned) to affirm as well that lukewarm mean, the bourgeois. Humor alone, that magnificent discovery of those who are cut short in their calling to highest endeavor, those who falling short of tragedy are yet as rich in gifts as in affliction, humor alone (perhaps the most inborn and brilliant achievement of the spirit) attains to the impossible and brings every aspect of human existence within the rays of its prism. To live in the world as though it were not the world, to respect the law and yet to stand above it, to have possessions as though “one possessed nothing,” to renounce as though it were no renunciation, all these favorite and often formulated propositions of an exalted worldly wisdom, it is in the power of humor alone to make efficacious.”

― Hermann Hesse

Hvala ti, da si tukaj zase. Kajti ko smo na voljo sebi, smo lahko tudi drugim. Hvala, da se trudiš.

Na koncu omenjam Davida Whyta, anglo-irskega pesnika, za katerega menim, da mu je uspelo v polnosti zaživeti svojo vlogo. Poslušati ga je transformativno – morda ti ga priporočam za na pot v avtu, saj lahko tako poezija zate dobi še večji pomen. Mojstre vedno rada poslušam, ker se zavedam predanosti in vrlin, ki jih mojstrstvo zahteva. Mene on tako bogati, da včasih pozabim, da obstaja karkoli drugega kot raj na zemlji.

 Poezija je tako veliko platno, da si na njega upajo slikati samo tisti, ki se ne bojijo, da mogoče njihovo delo – ne bo nikoli dokončano.
