Trees and Churches

in #life5 years ago (edited)

The trees feel good around the churches. I do not know if this is the same way all over the world, since I have seen so far I think it is so. At least in Bulgaria and Greece I visit more often. In Iasi, the city of Romania where I spend this spring this is more than true and obvious. This is for #treetuesday by @old-guy-photos

In Iasi, a city where there are more than one hundred churches, the trees have to accompany these constructions, they have no choice.

Today I passed the Armenian church. A historical monument, an inscription from this church is the oldest attestation of the city of Iasi. From 1395! Unfortunately this date is not certain and confirmed by other sources.

The story of the church is here:

In the courtyard of the church I was impressed by two things: a contorted tree and several stones and funerary monuments.

The tree!

Several angles, a weird tree.

Church and funerary monuments

I think my friend @melinda010100 will be interested in these photos. She even hosts a cemetery challenge.

The proximity between the trees and the church made me think of death. Now to the death of the trees. I saw such a dead tree very close to the Armenian Church.

There comes a time, there comes a time when the powers diminish, the years pass over us and we can no longer stand, any storm, any disease can blow us. Valid for all! Both trees and people.

Finally, some photos in the church yard and what made me choose such a topic for today's blog.

I was in the situation today to choose. Letting go of writing something or posting, running away from some thoughts and reality. I chose to write by choosing an unusual subject and who can manage to convey some darker feelings. Because my mother died this morning.

Oh, Dan! @bluemoon

You cannot imagine how sad I am for you at this very moment. Because I love you as a friend, the words are harder to come by. I know how deep you feel, I know. I do. It is never easy to express just the right words when someone you care for has a loved one, especially a parent pass away.

I am looking at your post and can see you taking your time getting to the end. each tree, I could feel the truth getting close to me.

My heart goes out to you and your entire family. There is nothing I can say that will take it away, but, just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time, as you have been since she got ill. Do not hesitate to drop me some words if there is anything I can say or do.

God bless your mother's soul. May she rest in peace, rest in peace.

Be well, Dan and make sure you give yourself some extra time and patience. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Denise

Thanks, Denise. You know so well to convey love, compassion, and hope. That's all I needed. There are hard times for me but we all know it will pass ... that's how this life is done. Thanks from the whole family for your care and prayers.

God bless you, my friend. I'll keep you close in my heart.

How are you doing. Dan? @bluemoon

I'm not as good as I wanted to. I'm afraid next week I will have to do more analyzes (I'm afraid of their result).

Take is slow and easy. Do not rush yourself.

A good advice, thank you!

Such a cool church and that Tree wow Weird yes and amazingly cool

So it is, a strange tree that seems to have gone through many attempts.

Yes indeed and those attempts and challenges it most likely has faced have given it such a cool character

So sorry to hear this, Dan. My sincere condolences.
May God rest her in peace! 😔

Thank you, Roxy. Support of friends is more than helpful.

Yes, you shouldn't be alone in times like this. And you're not. If I can help you with anything, just let me know.

Si vorbesc serios. Daca simti nevoia sa vorbești, sunt aici. Sau orice ai nevoie si pot sa te ajut.

Thanks a lot. I felt there were a few people beside me.

Incerc sa-mi revin. Au fost mai multe cauze pentru situatia asta. N-am putut nici sa raspund la comentarii, cer iertare. Multumesc mult. Sper ca in curand sa bem acea cafea pe Alexandru Lapusneanu.

Stai liniștit, e normal sa fii absent. Va fi bine chiar daca durerea nu dispare in totalitate. Ai grija de tine.

Trebuie sa bem cafeaua aia. Cu puțin noroc, se deschid si terasele. 🙂

Multumesc! Da, se deschid terasele, vine primavara.
