Med obvezno opremo, ki smo jo pred desetletji premogli na naši kmetiji, so bile uzda iz brzde in jermenov, vajet ter gajžla, kot smo rekli biču – pripomočku za udarjanje živine. Na veliko otroško veselje oče gajžle ne na nas ne na živini ni uporabljal, le sem pa tja je z njo zažvižgal skozi zrak. Konjem so vedno, ko so se z njimi odpravljali k težkim kmečkim opravilom, nadeli uzdo na glavo in jih tako vodili. Z na videz preprostimi pripravami so kmetje obvladovali silno konjsko moč, otroci pa smo težko delo konj zaradi varnosti bolj ko ne spremljali od daleč, saj nikoli nismo vedeli, kdaj se bodo močni delovni konji ob hrzanju povzpeli na zadnje noge in nas brcnili. Razen kakšnega prevrnjenega voza sena ali hlodov večje škode na naši kmetiji nismo utrpeli, se pa že od otroških dni konj bojim. Poslušnejši in pohlevnejši so se mi zdeli lisasti voli, vpreženi v jarem. Tako za konje kot za vole je nekdaj veljalo, da so neprecenljiva delovna moč od jutra do večera, v ledeno mrzlih jutrih ali pa v vročih poletnih dneh. Skrbni gospodarji so se zavedali, kaj bi pomenila izguba ene ali druge vprežne živali, pri slabih pa je največkrat pel samo bič. Dragi poslušalci in cenjene poslušalke, tako vi kot jaz smo vpeti v vajeti. Vsakdo izmed nas nosi svojo uzdo, svoj jarem. Mogoče je komu izmed vas dano, da uzde in jarme drugih držite v vajetih in vodite. Želim vam, da potegi vodenja ne bi prerasli v prisilo ali celo nasilje, ki zagotavlja poslušnost ali spodbuja k delu. Verjamem, da ste dobri gospodarji – gospodarji, ki znajo svoji vprežni živini kdaj pa kdaj sneti uzdo ali jarem z glave in izpustiti vajeti. Če se bojite, da bo vašo čredo premamilo prostranstvo svobode, potem vajeti ne smete izpustiti, temveč samo popustiti. Če pa ste voz, ki ga vlečete, preveč naložili, potem boste v jarem morali vpreči še koga. Sicer vas lahko doletita hrzanje in prhanje. Mogoče vam bo kdo celo ušel z vajeti. Sama sem potrebovala več kot samo štirinajst dni poletnih počitnic, da sem lahko odpela krivične spone in razvezala vezi jarma (prim. Iz 58,6). Jarem, ki me je tiščal in žulil, mi je uspelo sneti. Če sem iskrena, mi zanj ni prav nič več mar. Prav tako si ne želim, da bi ga nase vzel kdo drug. Ukrojen je bil zame, a sčasoma sem ga prerasla. Z leti sem se pod njim počutila utesnjeno in nemirno, zato sem ga morala odložiti in nase vzeti nov jarem. Upajoč, da bom našla počitek svoji duši. Ponovno sem se začela učiti od Njega, ker je krotak in v srcu ponižen, njegov jarem pa prijeten in njegovo breme je lahko (prim. Mt 11,29–30). Naši vozovi bodo po koncu poletnih počitnic začeli ponovno drdrati po kolesnicah življenja. Upam, da vam je z njih uspelo zmetati ves odvečen tovor in da vas vajeti življenja ne bodo preveč utesnjevale.

Februar je zame od nekdaj poseben mesec, ker sem se februarja rodila in datum rojstva ima v človeškem življenju pač poseben pomen. Letošnji februar me je pa dodatno zaposlil, saj so me zaradi okrogle in visoke številke zelo počastili. (Med drugim, povem v mikrofon radia Ognjišče, mi je zapel zbor uredništva Ognjišča!!) Ampak pred oči mi je prišlo in v misli seglo še nekaj februarskih dogodkov, ki so vredni kakšne naklonjene besede.Komentar je pripravila prevajalka in publicistka, Alenka Puhar.

V evropski prestolnici kulture imajo lepo občinsko stavbo: ustvarili so jo arhitekt in avtor slovenskega parlamenta Vinko Glanz, freskant Slavko Pengov, kipar Boris Kalin in mozaicist Tone Žnidaršič. Več o stavbi in njenih ustvarjalcih pove knjiga Občinska stavba v Novi Gorici (izdajatelj je Umetnostnozgodovinski inštitut ZRC SAZU, založnik pa Založba ZRC). Napisali sta jo dr. Alenka Di Battista in dr. Katarina Mohar; predstavita pa jo v Izšlo je: prva z zaokroženo izjavo, druga v pogovoru z Markom Goljo. Nikar ne zamudite.

Let's Think About "Grace For Ourselves." With Special Guest Alenka Kyslik   Alenka shares her perspective on how she had to learn to develop grace for herself. She realized it was so easy to have grace for others but not for herself. I believe many of us can relate to Alenka regarding this topic. She shares great tips we can implement and so much more. This conversation is a great way to consider how to develop grace in your life.

Nova Gorica je družno z Gorico evropska prestolnica kulture. To je lepa priložnost za predstavitev mladosti mladega mesta. Umetnostna zgodovinarka dr. Alenka Di Battista namreč v svoji monografiji Ravnikarjevi bloki v Novi Gorici (izšla je v zbirki Umetnine v žepu, izdala sta jo Umetnostnozgodovinski inštitut Franceta Steleta pri ZRC SAZU in Založba ZRC SAZU) predstavi začetke Nove Gorice, začetke, pri katerih je zelo pomembno vlogo kot urbanist in arhitekt odigral Edvard Ravnikar. Več o tematiki, blokih, njihovi gradnji in zasnovi (stanovanja so bila velika 100 kvadratnih metrov!) pa v Izšlo je, v pogovoru Marka Golje z dr. Alenko Di Battista. Dodajmo, da je bila raziskava, podlaga za knjigo del raziskovalnega projekta Mapiranje urbanih prostorov slovenskih mest v zgodovinskem okviru; Modernistična Nova Gorica in njeni konteksti.

V mojem domačem kraju z nekaj sto dušami je v času, ko so delodajalske in sindikalne organizacije dosegle dogovor o ureditvi delovnega časa v trgovinski dejavnosti, trgovina zaprla svoja vrata. Trgovke in trgovci v belih haljah so ostali na cesti. A brezposelnost ni edini problem, ki ga je s seboj prineslo zaprtje. V mojem domačem kraju so zaprli že marsikaj. Zaprli so šolo, pred leti tudi tovarniški obrat, odnesli poštni nabiralnik, zaprli turistično kmetijo, ukinili nekaj avtobusnih linij, le bančnega avtomata ni bilo treba odnesti, ker ga kraj nikoli ni imel. Ko v zgodnjem jutru odpeljeta delavski in šolski avtobus, dolgočasje dolgih zimskih in mrzlih dni krajša le še bel dim iz dimnikov, ki naznanja, da tod še živijo ljudje. Sem pa tja oglušujočo tišino prekine le pasji lajež. Na oknih podeželske trgovinice bodo zaradi izklopljene električne energije zacvetele ledene rože. Trgovinica v mojem domačem kraju ni bila samo nakupovalni center, kjer bi ljudje ure dolgo čakali zaradi črnega petka in nizkih cen. V trgovino si šel pač takrat, ko si kaj potreboval. Trgovinica je bila preprosto prostor, kjer si lahko pustil pismo za pismonošo ali kupil enega izmed dveh izvodov dnevnega časopisja. V njej so se ustavljali tujci in spraševali, kam bodo prišli, če bodo pot nadaljevali naprej. Seveda, v naši trgovini si lahko zbiral tudi pike in nalepke, a kar je še pomembneje: kdaj pa kdaj si lahko zaradi denarne stiske ali prevelikega bankovca nakupil opravil tudi na kredo. Naša majhna trgovinica je bila pravzaprav svet v malem: obveščevalni in center prve pomoči, kraj druženja in sosedskega razumevanja. Maloštevilne trgovke so ostarelim vdovam po koncu delovnega dne nakupljeno blago odpeljale do hišnega praga. In v njej je bilo mogoče, tako kot na začetku 20. stoletja, kupiti vse tisto, kar skromni človek na podeželju potrebuje: od šivanke do škatlice žveplenk ter dúšic, ki so noč in dan brlele na domovih osamljenih ljudi. Mojo, skoraj osemdesetletno mamo, je zaprtje trgovine močno prizadelo. V njej je dobila vse tisto, kar ji je omogočilo samostojno življenje: sveži kvas za peko kruha in praznično potico, kilogram sladkorja in kavo, riž in mleko, košček mesa ter vrednostno kartico za mobilni telefon. Ko se je odpravljala v trgovino, si je oblekla praznični predpasnik, poklicala še bolj osamljeno in onemoglo sosedo, dopisala na listek še njene želje ter se počasi, opirajoč se na palico, odpravila v trgovino. Četudi bi obe svoji skromni pokojnini v celoti pustili v naši trgovinici, se to v analizah dobičkonosnosti ne bi poznalo. Ampak, ali je res dobiček edini vatel, s katerim se meri dandanašnji?

Bežný januárový deň v Spišskej Starej Vsi sa zmenil na nočnú moru, keď študent miestneho gymnázia Samuel vkročil do budovy školy so smrtiacou zbraňou v ruke. V brutálnom útoku nožom vyhasli životy dvoch nevinných žien. Obeťou je len 18-ročná študentka Alenka, ktorá túžila byť lekárkou, a 51-ročná zástupkyňa riaditeľky školy Mária, obľúbená pedagogička, ktorá sa tešila zo života. Chodby, kde sa doposiaľ ozýval bezstarostný smiech študentov, pohltili 16. januára výkriky, strach a chaos. František Majerský, záchranár a poslanec NR SR, nominant KDH, bol jedným z prvých, ktorí na vlastné oči videli následky tejto nepochopiteľnej tragédie. V malej zamagurskej komunite, kde sa všetci poznajú ako rodina, zanechal tento deň nezmazateľnú jazvu. V relácii V Teréne nám Majerský odhalil nielen desivé momenty po útoku, ale aj to, ako táto tragédia navždy zmenila tvár pokojného mestečka.

Kako to, da o enem izmed največjih dogodkov, ki že dva tisoč let navdihuje človeštvo v knjigi vseh knjig, poročata samo evangelista Matej in Luka? Njuno poročanje je kratko in suhoparno. A dovolj jasno, da sporočilo, ki so ga v svet razposlali ubogi pastirji, še danes odmeva: »Ne bojte se! Glejte, oznanjam vam veliko veselje, ki bo za vse ljudstvo. Danes se vam je v Davidovem mestu rodil Odrešenik, ki je Mesija, Gospod. To vam bo v znamenje: našli boste dete, povito in položeno v jasli.« (Lk 2,10–12) Marija in Jožef sta se na poti v Davidovo mesto – Betlehem – morala zateči v preprost hlev in svojega prvorojenca položiti v jasli. Nad mlado družino je bdel le modri svod neba. Družinsko harmonijo so kmalu zmotili pastirji, ki so se najprej ustrašili Gospodovega angela in množice nebeške vojske, nato pa postali najpomembnejši glasniki dogodka, ki nas še vedno vznemirja in straši. Tako zelo, da se množice, vernih in nevernih, za nekaj trenutkov ustavijo kot modri z Vzhoda, ki so »padli predenj in ga počastili. Odprli so svoje zaklade in mu darovali zlata, kadila in mire.« (Mt 2,11) Na naših domovih in v cerkvah bomo danes težko našli borne jasli. Preproste slovenske jaslice, narejene iz lepenke, in jaslice, izrezljane iz mehkega lesa, ter bogkov kot in pod njim sveta družina danes živijo samo še v etnografskih muzejih in spominih starejših. Začetnik jaslic, takšnih, kot jih poznamo, je sveti Frančišek Asiški. V gozdu blizu mesta Greccio [izgovori Grečo] je dal narediti jaslice, s slamo postlane, na sveti večer pa je pripeljal tudi oslička in vola, da je vse spominjalo na noč, ko je bil rojen Jezus Kristus. Jaslice si je prišlo ogledat veliko ljudi – množice menihov iz bližnjih samostanov in ljudje iz okolice. Ko so si revni pastirji, prestrašeni zaradi Gospodove svetlobe, opomogli, so nemudoma zapustili svoje črede in se podali v Betlehem. Ko so se vrnili domov, so na poti vsem, ki so jih srečevali, pripovedovali o tem, kar so slišali in videli. In kako danes odmeva sporočilo o Gospodovem rojstvu? Na plitvi ravni že vemo. Kaj pa, če bi se poglobili in začeli razmišljati? Če bi v tem trenutku lahko zajahali kamelo in se odpravili na dolgo pot, da bi se poklonili Novorojenemu, kaj bi vzeli s seboj? Večina od nas v tem jutru verjetno ne premore zlata, ki pomeni popolnost, in bi se mu bili pripravljeni odreči. Prav tako ne mire – dišeče smole tropskih dreves. Mogoče premoremo kadilo, ki simbolizira prisotnost Božjega duha. Ne, ni nam treba imeti ne zlata, ne mire in kadila, še najmanj enogrbe ali dvogrbe kamele, da se podamo do bornih jasli. Ko bomo padli, pokleknili ali pa samo tiho stali pred kupčkom slame in razigranim otrokom, moramo sporočilo božiča najprej prepoznati sami, šele potem lahko postanemo glasniki tudi mi.

Piše Katja Šifkovič, bereta Eva longyka Marušič in Igor Velše. Vmesni čas, zbirka enajstih kratkih zgodb Borisa Pangerca, je delo, ki se ne pretvarja in s svojo preprostostjo piše zgodbo o ljudeh, kraju in preteklosti, o pozabljenem času. Pangerčeva sposobnost prepletanja osebnih in kolektivnih zgodb iz Doline pri Trstu z brezčasnimi vprašanji o življenju, smrti in minevanju pritegne bralca tako, da se počuti, kot bi bil sam del teh pripovedi. Boris Pangerc je slovenski jezikoslovec, pedagog, kulturnik in publicist. Šolal se je v domačem kraju in v Trstu, nato pa v Ljubljani diplomiral iz slovenskega jezika in književnosti. Poučeval je slovenščino, zgodovino in zemljepis ter bil ravnatelj šole na Proseku. Dejavno je sodeloval z radijskimi in televizijskimi postajami, raziskoval ljudsko gradivo ter objavljal članke in reportaže, zlasti za Primorski dnevnik. Znan je tudi kot raziskovalec dolinskega govora in ustvarjalec vrhunskega oljčnega olja, za katero je prejel številne nagrade. Ustanovil je salon kakovostnih oljčnih olj Olio Capitale in dejavno deluje v zborovskem petju. Njegova literarna in kulturna zapuščina vključuje tudi njegove pesmi, ki so jih uglasbili ugledni skladatelji. Tematsko se zbirka Vmesni čas dotika najglobljih vprašanj človekovega bivanja: minevanja, identitete, ljubezni, telesnosti in pripadnosti. Pangerc raziskuje, kako dogodki iz preteklosti oblikujejo naše življenje danes, kako so naši osebni spomini del širše zgodovinske naracije ter kako se v teh prepletih oblikuje občutek pripadnosti – kraju, ljudem, času. V času, ko literatura pogosto išče zapletene oblike izražanja, Pangerčev pristop dokazuje, kako močan je lahko jezik, ko je omejen na tisto najnujnejše: "In vidiš pred sabo vse kot na filmskem traku. Vidiš sebe in celo vas, vso okolico in vse ljudi, ki jih ne poznaš in vse dogodke, ki so se zgodili, pa če si jim bil priča ali ne." Pangerčeve zgodbe delujejo kot natančno izdelani filmski kadri – detajli so jasni, pripovedi pa polne občutkov in refleksije. Kot pripovedovalec se Pangerc izogiba moraliziranju; njegovo pisanje je brezkompromisno, a nikoli cinično. Kjer bi drugi avtorji morda zapadli v sentiment, Pangerc ostaja zvest resničnosti, ki jo opazuje z očesom kronista, a tudi z dušo umetnika. Jezik, čeprav preprost, je poetičen in učinkovit, a bralcu kljub temu ne prizanaša. Tistim ki jim primorsko narečje ni znano, se morda zgodi, da nekaterih besed ne bodo prepoznali, vendar to nikakor ne zmanjšuje čustvenega učinka zbirke – nasprotno, prav jezikovna barvitost še dodatno poglablja občutek pripadnosti kraju in njegovim ljudem. Pangerčev dar opazovanja se kaže v tem, kako liki v zbirki zaživijo pred nami kot resnične, "krvave" osebe, ki jih lahko skorajda slišimo in vidimo. Sonja, Drago, Miro, Alenka in drugi prebivalci njegovih zgodb niso le literarni konstrukti, temveč dihajo, govorijo in delujejo kot naši sosedje ali prijatelji. Pangerc ne piše, da bi očaral, piše, ker mora, in ravno ta neolepšana nujnost daje njegovemu delu poseben pečat. Zbirka Vmesni čas je dokaz, da lahko literatura, ki ostaja zvesta koreninam – krajem, ljudem in zgodbam – vedno najde svoje mesto v sodobnem svetu. To je knjiga, ki nas uči, kako gledati svet z očmi, ki vidijo pod površje.

V adventni soboti smo z Alenko Rebula premislili čas priprave in upočasnitve. Ob vsakodnevnih obveznostih v adventu običajno samo še dodajamo, še več je službenih srečevanj, druženj, čas jemljejo tudi nakupovanja daril in ostale priprave na praznike. Kako v miru in izpolnjujoče iskati poti do osrečujočih praznikov za vse, saj si ne želimo vsi istega, smo se pogovarjali.

V času srednješolskega izobraževanja smo pri predmetu kemija uporabljali periodni sistem elementov – tabelarični prikaz znanih kemijskih elementov po atomskem številu in elektronski konfiguraciji, tako da številne kemijske lastnosti sledijo pravilnim vzorcem po njem. Vsak element je v periodnem sistemu običajno predstavljen s kemijskim simbolom in atomskim številom. Od konca mojega srednješolskega šolanja pa do danes so odkrili kar nekaj novih elementov. Naravoslovne vede so moja šibka stran, čeprav mi je šolska psihologinja v osmem razredu na podlagi testov predlagala šolanje, povezano s kemijo in biologijo. Moja kemijska enačba se že ob koncu drugega letnika ni več izšla. Zato se danes raje kot z analitično kemijo ukvarjam z življenjsko. A urejanje življenjskih enačb, še posebej lastnih, zna biti še zahtevnejše. Kemija ni samo na videz dolgočasen periodni sistem, prisotna je tudi v naših medsebojnih odnosih: ljudje se privlačimo in odbijamo. Včasih med nami ni niti najmanjše osnovne kemije, zato je lahko reakcija zelo burna in medosebni trki pripeljejo do čustvene eksplozije. Verjetno bi se redki med nami lahko spojili z večino ljudi, ki jih dnevno srečujemo na vsakdanjih poteh: na avtobusu, delovnem mestu, v šoli. Ne, nič ni narobe z nami. To govori le o pestrosti človeške družbe in zapletenosti človeškega periodnega sistema, v katerem je več kot 118 elementov, kolikor jih ta hip vsebuje periodni sistem. Le urediti nas je treba, tako kot kemijsko enačbo. Vsi ne moremo biti kisik, kemijski element s simbolom O in atomskim številom 8, ki se zlahka spaja z večino elementov. Brez kisika ni življenja. Kisik je v nasprotju z nami brez barve, vonja in okusa. Kljub naši barvi, vonju in trpkemu okusu pa smo lahko drug drugemu kisikova maska. V srednjem veku so alkimisti poskušali spreminjati nežlahtne kovine v zlato in srebro. V to vrsto čarovnije ne verjamem, verjamem pa v moč kisikove maske in v prevetrene medsebojne odnose. Če se hočemo povzpeti na najvišji vrh človeške žlahtnosti ali pa se potopiti v globine človeške nežlahtnosti, si moramo nadeti kisikovo masko. A vse po pameti. Za potapljanje v večje globine morate kisik znatno razredčiti z inertnimi plini, na primer dušikom ali helijem, da boste preprečili zastrupitev s kisikom. Cenjene poslušalke in cenjeni poslušalci, verjetno bi vas vaši najbližji, prijatelji in sodelavci ter nadrejeni v današnjem jutru, če bi s seboj nosili kisikove maske ali za seboj vlekli težke kisikove bombe, čudno gledali. Veste, včasih zadostuje, če želimo uživati v medsebojni žlahtnosti, da odpremo okna in vrata in zdramimo sever, medse spustimo še jug in prepihamo naše odnose ter tako postanemo drug drugemu kisikova maska.

V divjem, zaraslem vrtu stoji stara hiša, v kateri nihče ne živi – a ni prav nič osamljena. V sebi skriva vse polno življenja, saj v njej sobivajo različne živali. Kaj pa se zgodi, ko želijo staro hišo zavojevati sestradani črvi?

Ena izmed zoprnih reči v življenju, ki jih moramo opraviti prav vsi, so testi: v mislih nimam samo osnovnošolskega ali srednješolskega preverjanja znanja. Mogoče so testi na tej ravni še najbolj nedolžni. Nekateri učitelji in profesorji so nedovoljeni način pri pisanju in reševanju nalog celo dopuščali, a plonkanje je moralo biti res izvirno. Verjetno bo kar držalo, da smo se tudi pri pisanju plonklistka veliko naučili. In nato smo ugotovili, da listka pravzaprav sploh ne potrebujemo. Med študijem na fakulteti časa za pisanje plonklistkov nisem več imela. Priznam pa, da sem kdaj skrivoma pogledala h kolegu ali kolegici. Pritajene poglede levo ali desno in prek rame so naši profesorji različno dopuščali. Nekateri so celo zapustili učilnico. S tem dejanjem so nam povedali največ: da sta goljufiva tehtnica in dvojna utež gnusoba. Tovrstne gnusobe pa se merijo z drugačnimi testi. Opravljajo jih različni strokovnjaki in izvedenci. Sem pa tja se lahko tudi zgodi, da se zaradi različnih mnenj oziroma rezultatov krešejo iskre. Ali pa nas rezultati zavedejo in odpeljejo na napačno pot. S testi se ne meri samo naša gnusoba, meri se lahko tudi naša čustvena inteligenca – naša sposobnost vživljanja v sočloveka. Seveda je visok inteligenčni kvocient pomemben, a če ne razumemo in obvladujemo svojih čustev in čustev drugih ljudi, lahko s svojo pametjo precej hitro ostanemo sami in osamljeni, da ne omenjam kakšne večje škode. Kot na vseh področjih je tudi na umskem in čustvenem potrebna prava mera. A zdi se, da se skozi zgodovino niso spreminjale samo časovne, dolžinske in utežne mere, spreminjajo se tudi človeške. Tako kot se spreminjajo testi, s katerimi strokovnjaki želijo ugotoviti, kaj pravzaprav smo ljudje, kaj je človek, koliko zmore in podobno. Eden izmed bolj smiselnih testov se mi zdi test hoje na dva kilometra, ki je enostaven, natančen, varen in ponovljiv; na njem s pomočjo tako hitre hoje, kot jo zmoremo, ne da bi pri tem ogrožali svoje zdravje, izmerijo našo telesno zmogljivost. O takih in drugačnih testih ter selekcijskih procesih, ki iščejo idealen nabor sposobnosti in osebnostnih lastnosti, na tem mestu dalje ne bom razpredala. Raje se bom zatekla k modremu Sirahu. Tudi on se je že okoli leta 180–175 pred Kristusovim rojstvom spraševal, kaj je človek. Le da je bila dolžina njegovega testa izjemno kratka. Po Sirahovi modrosti so »[č]lovekova obleka, smeh njegovih zob in njegov korak razodeli, kaj je« (prim. Sir 19,30). Poleg že omenjenega testa hitre hoje se mi zdi ta, Sirahov, eden izmed pravičnejših. Zato si, cenjene poslušalke in poslušalci, oblecite obleko, primerno vašemu stanu, naj vaš nasmeh ne bo narejen in prisiljen ter odločno korakajte skozi današnji dan.

“Ljudje nikoli v preteklosti nismo brali toliko, kot beremo sedaj. Res pa je, da ne beremo le tiskanih knjig, da se je izrazito povečalo zaslonsko branje in da beremo na drugačen način, torej manj skoncentrirano, z manj pozornosti,” pravi dr. Alenka Žbogar, vodja Katedre za didaktiko slovenščine na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani. Med drugim jo bomo vprašali, kako brati in zakaj, pa tudi, kako vzpostaviti bralne navade pri nas samih in kako pri otrocih? Kaj brati zvečer in kaj čez dan? Vprašanja sprejemamo na prvi@rtvslo.si ali na spletni strani Prvega.

Dobro jutro, cenjene poslušalke in poslušalci. Dva meni ljuba odlomka iz Svetega pisma sta v Matejevem in Lukovem evangeliju in imata naslov: Zaupanje in zaskrbljenost ter Skrb in strah. Navedla bom samo vrstico ali dve: »Ne skrbite za jutri, kajti jutrišnji dan bo skrbel sam zase. Dovolj je dnevu njegovo zlo« (Mt 6,34) ter: »Prodajte svoje premoženje in dajte vbogajme. Naredite si mošnje, ki ne ostarijo, neizčrpen zaklad v nebesih, ki se mu tat ne približa in ga molj ne razjeda. Kjer je namreč vaš zaklad, tam bo tudi vaše srce.« (Lk 12,33–34) Besed Svetega pisma ne gre vedno razumeti dobesedno, o tem pričajo tudi številne razlage strokovnjakov za biblična vprašanja, a te le redko kdo vzame v roke. Kako tudi ne, saj so včasih razlage celo debelejše od posameznih svetopisemskih knjig. Na citirane svetopisemske vrstice se spomnim vedno, kadar je moj dan težak in želim poiskati ravnovesje med delom in življenjem. V mislih imam tisto delo, ki polni mojo mošnjo. V preteklosti se je večkrat osušila, v njej nikoli niso žvenketali zlatniki. Novci, ki so mi jih namenili, so bili bolj podobni Judeževim srebrnikom. A če gre verjeti svetopisemskim besedam, imam mošnjo, ki ne ostari in je neizčrpen zaklad v nebesih. Šele ko mi je znova uspelo vzpostaviti ravnotežje med življenjem in nalogami, ki so mi jih nalagali drugi, po večini s polnimi mošnjami, nisem bil več v skrbeh za jutri. Upam, da niste pomislili, da živim iz dneva v dan. Za delo porabim ravno prav časa in srebrniki se spreminjajo v zlato, čeprav jih je mogoče manj kot v preteklosti. Tudi skrbi imam vsak dan več, sem pa tja se v moje kosti zaleze strah. Zato živim in delam za današnji dan. Odkar se je v moje življenje prikradla čedalje pogostejša tiha spremljevalka starejših, še toliko bolj razumem svetopisemske besede: »… Ne skrbite za življenje, za to, kaj boste jedli, ne za telo, kaj boste oblekli. Saj je življenje več kot jed in telo več kot obleka.« (Mt 6,22–34) Tako se mi sestavlja teden, mesec, leto … medtem ko je dnevu dovolj njegovo zlo. A poleg zla, ki pride v naše življenje nenadoma kot pomladni dež z neba in nas po navadi najde nepripravljene, okoli nas raste še eno. Vaše in moje zlo. Tisto, ki ga sejemo sami. Tako jaz kot vi. Zlo sejemo na delovnem mestu, v družini, med prijatelji … In tako polnimo življenjske mošnje z zlatniki dvomljive vrednosti. Zato, ker nam nikoli ni dovolj in nas človeška zloba ničesar ne izuči. Seveda moramo danes poskrbeti, da ne bomo lačni in goli hodili po svetu, saj bi nas kdo hitro razglasil za čudake ali bi nas celo kam odpeljali. Mogoče vam v današnjem jutru želim samo sporočiti, da bo dan že sam poskrbel za svojo težo, zato mu ne nalagajmo preveč. Pa še nekaj: lepa obleka in polna mošnja zlatnikov ne očistita umazanije naše duše. Tudi vbogajme ne.

Leto 2024 je leto generala in pesnika Rudolfa Maistra, ob 150. obletnici njegovega rojstva in 90. obletnici njegove smrti. Rojstno hišo generala Maistra v Kamniku vodi Alenka Juvan, ki smo jo povabili na pogovor prav na državni praznik, ki je posvečen temu junaku slovenskega naroda in borcu za severno mejo. Zanimivo je, da je bil tudi Alenkin dedek Maistrov borec. General Maister pa ni samo to, o širini njegove osebnosti smo govorili v oddaji, obenem pa vzporedno spoznavali tudi raznoliko pot sogovornice.

Dobro jutro, spoštovani poslušalci in cenjene poslušalke. Ali ste kdaj razmišljali, zakaj ljudje radi potujemo? V skupini ali sami. V mislih nimam službenih potovanj z najdražjimi letalskimi ali ladijskimi prevozniki, čeprav znajo biti tudi ta, če smo le malo iznajdljivi, pisana na našo kožo. »Kdor ni nič izkusil, ve malo, kdor pa je mnogo potoval, si bogati znanje,« (Sir 34,10) je zapisal modri Sirah v letih 180–175 pred Kristusovim rojstvom. Potovanje nam po Sirahu torej širi obzorje in spoznanje. Največji svetovni popotniki pa vsem tistim, ki po svetu potujemo samo s prstom po zemljevidu, v pustolovskih romanih pripovedujejo resnične zgodbe iz daljnih svetov. Včasih nam zgodbe vzbujajo grozljive občutke, spet drugič bi tudi mi najraje dvignili sidro in se odpravili na pot okrog sveta. Sama spadam med podpovprečne popotnike, če imam v mislih potovanja okrog zemeljske oble. Od nog mi gre veliko bolje potovanje po domači zemlji. Tako sem se iz domačega kraja, ki bi ga z ravnilom ugodja, dostopnosti in blaginje lahko postavila na zemljevid oddaljenih krajev, tudi sama odpravila v mesto, ki mi je obljubljalo znanje. A na tem prvem večjem potovanju samo znanje iz knjig. Na drugem potovanju, tokrat že v večje mesto, so poleg znanja iz knjig moje potovanje začele bogatiti tudi življenjske izkušnje. V zakotje domačega polja sem se vrnila šele po treh desetletjih. Danes v kotu domače kuhinje potujem od spomina do spomina. Spomini se vrstijo od najbolj navdihujočih do tistih, ki v meni vzbudijo občutek notranje napetosti. Moje življenjsko potovanje, pa čeprav samo do največjega mesta v domači deželi, je bilo razburljivo: včasih podobno vožnji po železniških tirih, spet drugič kot potovanje oblakov po nebu. Moj pristanek na tleh življenja je bil trd, z rahlimi zlomi, ki jih življenje sedaj samo uravnava. Ko se odpravljamo na turistična potovanja, s seboj vzamemo najnujnejšo prtljago. Če imamo zlato plačilno kartico, si lahko obleko kupimo v kraju, kamor smo pripotovali. Kar se lahko izkaže za dobro izbiro, saj bomo oblečeni po krajevni modi. A na življenjskih potovanjih je drugače. Smeri našega potovanja ne določa samo kupljena vozovnica v žepu. Kakor tudi ne, ali smo bogati ali revni. Črto našega življenjskega leta določa prtljaga v zaprtih kovčkih, katerih ključ ali šifro, s katerimi bi kovčke lahko znova odprli, smo že zdavnaj izgubili. Tako lahko leta in leta potujemo s kupom odvečne prtljage ali pa za seboj vlečemo prazne kovčke, brez vsebine. Kar je huje od izgubljene prtljage na sanjskem potovanju. Izmed vseh odprav je najtežja tista, na kateri želimo znova najti izgubljen ključ ali šifro. Ko ju bomo našli, bomo lahko odklenili tudi prazen kovček in ga začeli polniti z vsebino. In ne pozabite: za tovrstno potovanje dobimo vozovnico samo enkrat v življenju.

Zadnji dnevi so nas silili k obujanju spominov na vse, ki so se preselili v onstranske kraje. Bližnje in daljne ljudi. Take, ki jih k spominjanju napelje srce in tiste, ki jih nalaga dolžnost. Čez nekaj dni se bomo v Slovenski matici potrudili obuditi spomin na nekaj častivrednih mož, ki jim je usoda dodelila daleč preveč trpljenja in srečanj s smrtjo. Tako imenovani dachauski procesi pri nas ne pomenijo samo represije proti tistimi, ki so jih Nemci zaprli v svoje, nacistično taborišče Dachau, temveč pomeni tiste, ki so od tam prišli, bolni in onemogli, a živi, nato pa se je nadnje spravila politična policija komunistične partije, jih obtožila kolaboracije z gestapom in neusmiljeno kaznovala. Veliko s smrtjo.Komentar je pripravila prevajalka in publicistka, Alenka Puhar.

Alenka Gregorič je letos, skupaj s sokuratorko razstave, prof. Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein z dunajske Akademije likovnih umetnosti, že dvakrat obiskala rezidenco in atelje Marine Abramovič v ZDA, kjer so nastajali prvi obrisi razstave, ki naj bi predstavila skupno delo in življenje priznanega umetniškega tandema med letoma 1976 in 1988, kanoničnih dvanajst let skupnega življenja in ustvarjanja Ulaya in Marine Abramović, ključnih akterjev performativne umetnosti.

Gostja oddaje je Alenka Mali, 25-letna potomka dveh alpinistov; Slovenca in Argentinke, ki se je pred desetletji preselila v Slovenijo, tako da je otroštvo preživela izmenjaje v Evropi in v Južni Ameriki, največ v gorovju Patagonije. Starša sta jo s svojo strastjo do preživljanja časa v hribih in premagovanja lastnih telesnih omejitev "okužila" že zelo zgodaj.Alenka se je pri 16 preselila v Kanado, kjer se med drugim ukvarja s turnim smučanjem, z base jumpingom in deskanjem na snegu (prosti slog). S slednjim tudi tekmovalno, a si menda nikoli ni izrecno želela biti športnica, tako da se predvsem v zadnjem času raje posveča promociji aktivnega življenjskega sloga in občutka svobode, ki ga nudijo tovrstne aktivnosti. Pri čemer se ji zdi bistveno boljši karierni cilj od tega, da si "za kakšno leto ali dve prvak, potem pa se te nihče več ne spomni", to, da postaneš v okvirih svoje dejavnosti (o deskanju denimo pravi, da je prej kot šport kultura) relevantna in cenjena osebnost, ki tej skupnosti vseskozi tudi veliko vrača.

Welcome to CTRL+ALT+DELETE with Lisa Duerre™ LIVE!, where we dive deep into the ever-evolving landscape of leadership and technology. In this episode, we tackle the critical issue of work exhaustion and overcome the challenges tired teams face. Your host, Lisa Duerre, is joined by collaborators Alenka Znidarsic and Rachelle Niemann as they explore practical strategies for preventing burnout and fostering resilience in the tech industry. Starting with a staggering statistic—only 33% of employees were engaged at work according to a 2023 poll—the conversation delves into the real impact of exhaustion on performance and productivity, costing organizations trillions in lost productivity. But it's not just about the numbers; it's about the human experience behind them. The discussion highlights the importance of intuition in leadership, especially during exhaustion. Rachelle shares a personal story emphasizing the value of tuning into intuition and allowing space for creative problem-solving, even when tired. Alenka provides insights into integrating mindfulness practices into tech culture, from coding breaks to tech detox sessions, emphasizing the role of leadership in fostering a supportive environment. You'll hear practical tips for maintaining resilience and flexibility amidst exhaustion, emphasizing self-awareness, intentional breaks, and the power of reframing perspectives. The conversation underscores the significance of creating a culture where exhaustion is acknowledged and individuals feel safe to express their needs. Throughout the episode, the hosts encourage active participation from the audience, recognizing the community's collective wisdom and insights.

*Podporte podcast Dejiny v aplikácii Toldo na sme.sk/extradejiny Dvadsiateho siedmeho mája 1942 uskutočnili československí výsadkári Ján Kubiš a Jozef Gabčík atentát na zastupujúceho ríšskeho protektora Reinharda Heydricha. V tejto akcii, známej ako operácia Antropoid, príslušníci protinacistického odboja zlikvidovali najvyššie postaveného nacistického pohlavára počas celého priebehu druhej svetovej vojny. Obrovský a tragický rozsah represií, ktoré nasledovali, je dnes historikmi a dokumentaristami zmapovaný: poznáme príbehy prenasledovania a vraždenia členov odboja či príbehy vyhladenia obcí Ležáky a Lidice. Dnes sa zblízka pozrieme na veľmi konkrétny príbeh jednej z účastníčok operácie Anthropoid, ktorej životný príbeh sa predčasne skončil popravou v koncentračnom tábore Mauthausen len pár mesiacov po atentáte: príbeh priateľky Jozefa Gabčíka Anny Malinovej a jej dcéry Alenka, ktorý vo svojej knihe spracovala spisovateľka a dokumentaristka Veronika Homolová Tóthová. Moje otázky tak budú smerovať nielen na príbeh Anny Malinovej a jej dcéry, ale hovoriť budeme aj o dôležitej úlohe dokumentaristov vo vypĺňaní bielych miest dejín a v čom je ich práca podobná či odlišná od práce historikov. Kto bola Anna Malinová a aká bola jej úloha v operácii Anthropoid? Aké boli následky nacistických represií proti účastníkom odboja? A čo vieme o smrti Anny Malinovej v koncentračnom tábore Mauthausen? Aký bol osud dcéry Anny Malinovej po jej zatknutí? Ale tiež ako sa skúmajú dejiny dokumentaristom? A aká je ich skúsenosť s toľko skloňovaným poučením sa z dejín? Agáta Šústová Drelová, historička SAV, sa rozprávala s Veronikou Homolovou Tóthovou, dokumentaristkou, reportérkou a spisovateľkou. Počas rokov veľmi produktívneho mapovania bielych miest našich dejín natočila dvadsaťštyri dokumentárnych filmov, desiatky reportáží o príbehoch ľudí, ktorí si prešli nacistickým a komunistickým prenasledovaním, a tiež pätnásťdielny cyklus dokumentárnych filmov s názvom Neumlčaní. Za sériu reportáží získala v rokoch 2008 -2012 niekoľko novinárskych ocenení. Jej knižnou prvotinou bol príbeh Violy Sternovej Fisherovej, ktorý vyšiel pod titulom Mengeleho dievča. Dnes budeme hovoriť o dokurománe Mama milovala Gabčíka, ktorý zachytáva príbeh Anny Malinovej. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/podcasty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SME.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ s najdôležitejšími správami na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/suhrnsme⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Dejiny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El Conde nos trae nuevamente una historia sobre Jamaica, estas listo para escuchar los mejores monstruos caribeños,además con una invitada Jamaicana. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At age 54, Alenka Vrecek decided it was never too late for an adventure by bike, rolling out her front door in Tahoe City, aiming 2,500 miles south to her other door at the tip of Baja Mexico. For nearly two months Alenka rode alone, giving her ample time to think about life, struggle, love, loss, family and the meaning of home through the eyes of a Slovenian immigrant. A cancer survivor dealing with her husband's recent diagnosis with Parkinson's disease, Alenka made the tough decision to temporarily leave her family behind, achieving a lifelong desire to adventure before she couldn't any more. Alenka's book, She Rides – Chasing Dreams Across California and Mexico is an exceptionally well-written account of the adventure, channeling the great alpinist authors Reinhold Messner and Nejc Zaplotnik, her literary heroes. Our discussion with Alenka is more than just about the bike or the book; it's about self-discovery, finding strength within yourself and mustering the courage to persevere against all odds. 2:00 – Trail Whisperer gets married, Pow Bot served as officiant.9:00 – Introducing Alenka Vrecek, moving from Slovenia to Lake Tahoe.13:30 – Was it challenging to get on her feet once she first arrived in Alpine Meadows?15:45 – Ski racing, ski instruction and being a certified ski instructor, working at River Ranch.18:00 – Skiing at Squaw Valley in the 1980s with Mike Slattery, Tommy Day and Scot Schmidt. 22:30 – Getting into alpinism and looking up to Nejc Zaplotnik, who was a writer and climber.23:30 – Capturing the essence of Reinhold Messner, a huge inspiration in in writing She Rides.26:00 – The importance of mountains, being outside and exercising regularly. 29:00 – Living with tragedy and personal struggle, and rebuilding your life and identity through being outside and completing a personal journey. 30:00 – What made Alenka want to ride her mountain bike 2,500 miles from Lake Tahoe to Baja? 35:30 – The love of being alone, the power of spending time in the outdoors by yourself. 39:00 – Riding alone in Mexico, feeling less safe around people than around animals.42:00 – Appreciating simple luxuries of life like hot showers and good food. 44:15 – The difference between riding in California and Mexico through the Sierra Nevada. 47:30 – What is the meaning of home? Being content at home, finding adventure in the backyard and learning a life lesson from Alejandro. 53:30 – Pow Bot quotes “Truckin” from the Grateful Dead and its metaphor for life.56:00 – The concept of living to work vs working to live and city culture vs mountain culture.59:00 – Would you do the trip again alone or with someone?1:02:20 – The process of writing the book, “She Rides”. 1:12:00 – Promoting and marketing the book. 1:15:00 – Pow Bot opens up about his wife and her journey with breast cancer.1:17:00 – Did the bicycle heal Alenka mentally and physically?1:20:30 – The flow state and being in the zone and its importance to life, moving meditation. 1:25:25 – Wing foiling, e-foiling and being on the water. 1:27:50 – Alenka rode an Ibis Mojo 3 mountain bike, aka The Beast, from Tahoe to Baja with help from Big Tall Wayne and Karl Rogne at Olympic Bike Shop. 1:31:00 – What “oh shit” moments did Alenka have on the ride? 1:37:30 – What does Mind the Track mean to you?

At fifty-four, Alenka was running out of time to follow through on a dream she'd written down just after her first marriage crumbled. Years later, as she slowly rebuilt her life with her second husband, things started spiraling out of control with their health. The only way she knew how to heal and connect all painful parts of her life was by riding her bike, and she didn't want to have regrets. But was she brave enough to embark on an unknown path and risk losing everything . . . perhaps even her own life?Determined to awaken her dying spirit and heal her battered body, Alenka loaded her mountain bike with 50 pounds' worth of camping gear and set off on a 2,500-mile journey. Starting in Lake Tahoe, California, she hoped to ride to the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, following remote mountain trails, alone.What followed was an irrevocably transformational journey of love, hope, courage, and resilience—and here, Alenka tells that story in a voice stripped of self-pity and infused with a good dose of humor. Here book, She Rides, is a galvanizing wake-up call for anyone who wants to unearth and follow their own deeply buried dreams—and reclaim their life.Learn more about Alenka and her book, She Rides, below:www.mylifesuspended.comInstagram: @mother_lenTwitter: @AlenkaVrecekFacebook: @alenka.vrecekSponsor messages:Lectric eBikesLectric eBikes offers a wide range of customizable and adjustable eBike options to accommodate an array of different lifestyles.
