The Chicago Carpet

Stanislaw Barszczak, At Dawn Tomorrow (on the subject of creativity),

Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view? ‘If we are to teach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children,’ Mahatma Ghandi said. Let’s look on our photos with many years, from childhood, We were thick, on last this, we obtain toy, we held it soundly, as we’ve got very happy. Writing is as if underground writing, secret, there is a kind of writing for drawer for a future child we have in. For this time, I live in among every religious symbol, and every human thought, I must choose and put on literature one thought. Before us abundance of fears, video games, scepticism of mother also. Loving is half of believing. I have been learning the world fluently to step still from young Mahatma Ghandi, who has said: “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet”. I have not dirty feet happily. Unfortunately I dress anybody’s shoes only already. So, before three years I have reached India and I have gotten Bombay, and a certain day as a priest I timidly entered a seminar library concealing under modern house. A library implies an act of faith, I suppose. People do not lack strength; they lack will, anybody has said. We are the children of our own deeds.. I went once day to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section? “She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose”. It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life. I walked next similar for library. The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history. “”A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.” So, England has two books, the Bible and Shakespeare. England made Shakespeare,but the Bible made England, somebody has said. He loved books; books are cold but safe friends. ”The book which the reader now holds in his hands, from one end to the other, as a whole and in its details, whatever gaps, exceptions, or weaknesses it may contain, treats of the advance from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsity to truth, from darkness to daylight, from blind appetite to conscience, from decay to life, from bestiality to duty, from Hell to Heaven, from limbo to God. Matter itself is the starting-point, and the point of arrival is the soul. Hydra at the beginning, an angel at the end,” V. Hugo said. He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two. It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life. It is placed in old library The Culture Centre Chicago now. During my journey I could walk to the city center chicago of each day. On certain day I have gotten the Culture Centre Chicago, which is placed in crossroad of the la Salle Road and Michigan Avenue, nearly Art Institute of Chicago, famous from the modern paintings. Drawn by its beauty and the fabulous free public events, hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the Chicago Cultural Center every year, making it one of the most visited attractions in Chicago. The stunning landmark building is home to two magnificent stained-glass domes, as well as free music, dance and theater events, films, lectures, art exhibitions and family events. The Beaux Arts style was influenced by the buildings of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. The building’s interior features rooms modeled on the Doge’s Palace in Venice, the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, and the Acropolis in Athens. Its lush ornamentation includes two stained-glass domes, rare marbles inlaid with sparkling mosaics, and intricate, coffered ceilings. Completed in 1897 as Chicago’s first central public library, the building was designed to impress and to prove that Chicago had grown into a sophisticated metropolis. The country’s top architects and craftsmen used the most sumptuous materials, such as rare imported marbles, polished brass, fine hardwoods, and mosaics of Favrile glass, mother-of-pearl and colored stone, to create an architectural showplace. Located on the south side of the building, the world’s largest stained glass Tiffany dome- 38 feet in diameter with some 30,000 pieces of glass ― was restored to its original splendor in 2008. On the north side of the building is a 40-foot-diameter dome with some 50,000 pieces of glass in an intricate Renaissance pattern, designed by Healy and Millet. In 1991, the building was established as the Chicago Cultural Center by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, the nation’s first and most comprehensive free municipal cultural venue. Every year, the Chicago Cultural Center presents hundreds of free international, national, regional and local artists, musicians and performers, providing a showcase where the public can enjoy and learn about the arts.

Wireless is available to the public, in the public locations of the Cultural Center. The network is named “Wiz.” Coverage/accessibility may be different in various locations inside the building, and speed is dependent on the number of users at any given time. A good place to try access is in the Randolph Cafe on the first floor, north side of the building. (Those informations of the Culture Centre Chicago they are by internet). To love beauty is to see light. In the evening it looks Chicago very beautiful, when in windows of high-rise buildings, scrapers of clouds, it is alight. Then phone saved me before last luck only. Sometimes we are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.. Such time has come this Wight. I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, and the stars through his soul. We occupied defensive posture only, I suppose. But hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man now. Conscience is God present in man today. ‘Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!’ Then it has come morning, next day. Who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life. As I have said you beyond journeys for world, recently begin writing. Writing is not consisting process. Each book or my text is new. I am not writer else, but person of history. For now I must maintain concision in style. We bring the world to Chicago… I my writings I would to describe a new man, passion, creation of his. More to be desired they new people than gold… I am looking for righteousness of our time. I could admire high-rise buildings Chicago already first day, walk under their legs.. ‘’Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book,’ V.Hugo said. Oh! I was like a crazy man in the first moment. Several days then, on top of the John Hancock I have eaten the dessert. So, I have remembered words from the book of Revelation: ’And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God: and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first (the former) things are passed away. And he that sites on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these words are faithful and true. And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.’ We are living on the room, in its whole planet is. Free socjety we are now. World is small now, the world is but nervous today as never in advance, is as turbulent as earlier it had ever been. Catholic church has problem with taking advantage child, child abuse today… Does God exist ? For me like Instance, who helps man to live, I would call one first faithful help. There is a problem, that it has distorted Christianity. It says christianity also. Only subject is love… No political culture it has shaken up throw… So, fiction is a kind of liberation. It’s like look of the skyscraper on the world, which is at the bottom, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez exaggeration. Intensification of reality in fiction. I have begun with my memoir, my target is complete him. In Chicago I could talk sporadically only, though there has been a time of the opening conversation, which it has happened with somebody concerning with a situation, but there were most often, as I mentioned, the fragments of the personal monologue only. Though I have received from accidental priest coupon of saint Nickolas. In my twelve days of stays to Chicago it wasn’t accidental almost cases of happy dialogs, particular garbage as in poem by Ch. Dickens, where conversations proceeded on street, in walk. Human story is my business, but there is not my head it would the world have been changed. Writing has showed me that truth, I have presented already. There is my Imaginary homeland now. I saw the new world, which I hide now in the molecular world of my experience. I would like to extend based values of mankind now, like underground writing of John McEvan also. For the first (the former) things are passed away.
