Существуетъ удивительная примета: сорокъ летъ не отмечаютъ. Но у приметъ обычно есть предпосылки, уходящие корнями въ далёкие времена, когда люди находили магические объяснения многимъ тогда ещё непонятнымъ явлениямъ. Оттого равнодушны мы къ такого рода повериямъ и всласть хотимъ поздравить нашего первопроходца въ пятый десятокъ!
⠀
Мало кого оставилъ равнодушнымъ сольный танецъ, которымъ совсемъ недавно Коля одарилъ насъ. Не оставятъ равнодушными и сценарии, которые съ недавнихъ поръ размашисто и уверенно подписываетъ выпускникъ сценарной мастерской — Карповъ Николай. Никто не остаётся равнодушнымъ, посещая интенсивы по неактёрскому мастерству, где педагогъ Николай бережно берётъ души и несётъ ихъ къ самопознанию и свету. Не остаёмся равнодушными и мы, когда Колинъ Карповъ съ толкомъ, съ чувствомъ и расстановкой берётся за какое-либо дело. Будь то работа съ архивами Карелии или чистка картошки на ужинъ — всё въ той же Карелии. Глядимъ, любуемся и радуемся.
⠀
Сегодня мы поздравляемъ съ юбилеемъ министра неравнодушия, повелителя эмпатии, магистра Ордена эмоционального интеллекта — нашего дорогого Николая! Здоровья, радости и мира тебе и всемъ, кого ты любишь!

There is a strange superstition to skip celebrating a 40th birthday. Yet, omens usually have a background that dates back to ancient times when people found magical explanations for many phenomena still incomprehensible in their time. So we pay no attention to such beliefs and we are eager to congratulate our pioneer in the fifth life decade!
⠀
Few people stayed cool watching the solo dance that Kolya recently did for us. Neither can you stay cool while reading the scripts that Nikolay Karpov, a screenwriting workshop graduate, has recently been signing with his name – firmly and confidently. No one stays cool attending master Nikolay’s intensive courses in ‘non-acting’ as he carefully holds people’s souls and carries them forward to self-knowledge and enlightenment. We never stay cool when Colin Karpov takes up a task feelingly, with sense and clearly. Be it working with Karelian archives or peeling potatoes for dinner in the same Karelia. We watch, admire and rejoice.
⠀
Today we congratulate our Minister of Caring, Lord of Empathy, Master of the Order of Emotional Intelligence – our dearest Nikolay! Health, joy and peace to you and those you love!

Коли бъ надо было тому времени-пространству, где мы съ тобой, уважаемый читатель, имеемъ удовольствие обретаться, подобрать фамилию, я бы предложилъ Лёхину. Тихомировъ.

Любо бы было, будь весь миръ какъ Лёха. Вежливымъ, доброжелательнымъ, любопытнымъ. Расширяющимъ кругозоръ, готовымъ помочь, посвящающимъ себя труду и умеющимъ отдыхать. Отрадно и ладно стало бы на Земле Матушке.

Но пока не весь миръ такой, Лёхе приходится на монтаже делать его лучше. Тяни выше планку человечности и разумности, дорогой другъ. Ты всехъ насъ вдохновляешь и делаешь лучше. Пусть правки отступаютъ подъ качествомъ твоихъ работъ! Пусть туманъ неведомого награждаетъ твои поиски знаниями и опытомъ! Пусть душа будетъ легка, юна и честна. Здоровья, радости и тихо-мира тебе и всемъ, кого ты любишь, Лёха! Съ днёмъ рождения!

If you and I, dear reader, had to choose a surname for the time-space where we have the pleasure of finding ourselves I would suggest Lyokha’s surname. Tikhomirov.

The world would have been a nicer place if all were like Lyokha. Polite, friendly, curious. Broadening their horizons, ready to help, devoting themselves to work and knowing how to relax. It would have been great and fine to live on Mother Earth.

But since the world is not like that, Lyokha has to make it better when editing. So raise the bar of humanity and intelligence higher, dear friend. You inspire us all and make us all better. Let the editions fall back in the face of your quality work! May the fog of the unknown reward your questioning with knowledge and experience! May your soul be light, young and honest. Health, joy and peace to you and those you love, Lyokha! Happy birthday!

Николай Панченко - Въ вечернемъ небе, надъ Окою…

⚜️⚜️⚜️

Nikolay Panchenko - In the evening ether
over the Oka river…

I was a little tot,
And up in the evening ether
Over the Oka river
Suddenly I saw God —
Not that He was a lot,
But all that was
Was God.
All was Beginning and Fade,
Passing by, yet not passing away.

My parents were looking for me,
Finding me, yet not reaching me,
They were passing me ’bout
Till I had to call out.

They did not look AT me — but INTO,
As one peers through a crack or a window,
Missed the towel I had in my hands
All embroidered with roosters on ends
Till I had to call out,
And a rooster crowed.

At a point we were found by the road
I told them:
“I saw God.”
So steeply, so gently climbing down
We spoke out loud of what we found:

“He saw God!”
“...saw God!”
Not that He was a lot
(The fog hung — the moon was incensing),
And all that was
Was God…
