Josemaría Escrivá: Cesta

Už ma nebavilo čítať knihy na skúšku tak som sa v pracovni môjho uja začal prehrabovať v knižnici (túto činnosť robím dosť často, má veľmi dobrý výber kníh).

Našiel som malú útlu knižku. Už z prvého pohľadu mi bolo jasné, že ide o kresťanskú literatúru. A taká ma celkom teraz zaujíma a začal som čítať. Autorom Cesty je zakladateľ Opus Dei - Josemaría Escrivá.

V knižke je 999 zamyslení na rôzne témy zo života - práca, viera, láska, ... Vlastne to nie sú až také zamyslenia, ale skôr dokonca provokujúce rady a podnety na zamyslenie. Občas som mal pocit, že niektoré boli až veľmi prísne. A neviem prečo, ale celá knižka bola ladená skôr pre mužov, niekedy som mal pocit, že pre kňazov.

Niektoré zamyslenia sa mi veľmi páčili a dostal som inšpiráciu, iné sa mi zdali na môj vkus príliš nábožensky fundamentálne - to neznamená zlé, ale ja som im nerozumel. Kniha sa mi páčila v tom ohľade, že robila človeka malým a učila byť pokorným a zároveň mu chcela pritom dodať odvahy, sily a chuť žiť. Nie som si celkom istý ako to všetko má do seba zapadať, no páčilo sa mi to. Napadlo ma, či by som v nej nenašiel dva protichodné body, aj keď neviem či by to malo zmysel, pretože táto téma nie je racionálna a vysvetliť by sa to dalo všelijako.

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning would look

Windows 7 RC Ultimate on HP Compaq nx6110

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha

... Shenandoah River

“Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River”   John Denver: Take Me Home, Country Roads Shenandoah National Park is relatively close to NYC. It was May and we already knew that we were moving to Boston at the beginning of June. We only had a couple of weeks to visit this park by car since the distance from Boston would be too ... distant. Sure, there was a lot to pack and do but the mountains simply couldn’t wait. We hit the road early in the morning on May 22nd. The visit of West Virginia was not optional. We made a stop at Harpers Ferry.  We had dinner at a restaurant along the river and of course we made a quick stop at the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center (unfortunately it was closed due to COVID). Harpers Ferry was a beautiful quintessential small town with historical landmarks. At the end of the day we built our tent in Low-Water Bridge Campground . The Shenandoah river was flowing right next to our tent but we were so tired that we did not end up going
