The monks discussed what evil living was and how not to corrupt their faith and way of being.Some of them disagreed with each other because they rejected worldly things. You see the church is about God and there should be no money involved,no gold or silver, no taxes to pay,no celebrations except religious ones, no buying or selling etc....nothing anyone would want to steal.<br />It's a holy house of God used only for prayer, confessions and doing Gods' work.<br />They spent most of their time building a church and painting it full of beautiful religious paintings and then the Tartars came and destroyed most of it and the monks told them we will rebuild it again.But they were poor and hardly had any food left except for rotten apples.They searched the landscape for good clay to make things with.Finally they told the tartars they would build them a bell if they would bring them silver. So the tartars went about stealing silver for them and the monks asked for more and more.lol So they were being corrupted.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-22329799236171675242011-11-04T01:01:57.554-07:002011-11-04T01:01:57.554-07:00Hi A Lady's Life ..

Are we sure we are living? We could all be dreaming this life.<br />Our bodies after all are very limited. If you look at any creature,<br />it sees its' life to be the true thing. We look at rocks and see them as rocks but they could be something totally different.Rocks are life since when you break them up into soil things grow in them.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-68060760741204866202011-10-24T14:09:54.368-07:002011-10-24T14:09:54.368-07:00This is a famous cult film in Russia.

In his following films, he often showed exceptional visuals that seem to have appeared from his subconscious. I have to confess, I have used that idea in my newest paintings.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-37553160855071062262011-10-24T12:05:00.342-07:002011-10-24T12:05:00.342-07:00Zuzana - yes they were a fierce bunch and I also f...Zuzana - yes they were a fierce bunch and I also find the history interesting.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-61941569272190717592011-10-24T11:56:38.146-07:002011-10-24T11:56:38.146-07:00I find the story of Tartars interesting because th...I find the story of Tartars interesting because they also ruled the country of my origins and were very feared by my predecessors.;)<br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-1546319859445601252011-10-23T19:12:15.309-07:002011-10-23T19:12:15.309-07:00mama zen :
