Morana Ulazak u promenu / Entering the change

U našoj ljudskoj prirodi, transformacija iz jeden faze u drugu ima potencijal da izazove moćan unutrašnji rast. U tom procesu transformacije često ne znamo da smo na pragu nečeg novog, još uvek nevidljivog. U takvim periodima života, često osećamo strah od gubitka poznatih parametara sopstvenog identiteta. Sve što smo da sada posmatrali kao JA, MOJE ili NAŠE počinje da se rastvara. Intenzivni periodi sumnje, straha i anksioznosti mogu da preuzmu našu svest, dok još uvek nevidljive promene u unutrašnjem i spoljašnjem okruženju su u toku.

Morana je simbol takve promene. Boginja smrti I transformacije u staro Slovenskoj mitologiji, ona predstavlja kraj: sezone, perioda u životu, ili samog života i kao takva ona nas uvodi u inicijaciju nečeg novog još uvek nevidljivog. Ona nas suprotstavlja sa izborom. Da li krećemo na put opterećeni sa strahom od gubitka svega, ili hodamo sa uzbuđenjem radujući se svakom novo napravljenom koraku. Rast svesti iz “Ja sam samo telo” u “Ja sam svest koja percipira osećanje fizičkog tela”, Morana donosi transformacije u dublje misterije života. Ona nas izaziva da hodamo napred bez znanja o tome gde ili šta nas čeka na kraju puta. Da jednostavno verujemo i hodamo polako. Da se predamo sve-večnoj sadašnjici. Ona nas zove da otelotvorimo, probamo, potpuno osetimo svako osećanje kao da je poslednje, i sa tim, ona nas izaziva da razvijemo zahvalnost čak i za najustaljeniju stvarnost i svakodnevne navike.

Morana: Entering the change



In our human nature, a transformation from one phase to another has the potential to bring forth powerful growth. During that process of transforming we are not usually aware that we are about to embark on a journey toward something new. We often feel the fear of losing the known parameters of our known identity. Everything we used to perceive as I, mine or ours begins to dissolve. Intense periods of doubt, fear or anxiety can take over our consciousness, while not yet visible changes in our internal and external environment are taking place.

Morana is a symbol of such a change. Goddess of death and transformation in the Old Slavic mythology, she stands for an ending – of a season, a period in one’s life, or life itself – and as such she brings us into the initiation of something new, something not yet visible. She faces us with the choice. Do we embark upon the journey weighted with the fear of losing everything, or do we walk forth celebrating and rejoicing the steps we are making? Growing awareness from “I am only this body” to “I am consciousness being aware of the body,” Morana brings forth transformations into the deeper mysteries of life. She challenges us to walk without knowing where and what awaits us on the other end of the road. To simply trust and take one step at a time. To surrender into the ever-present now. She calls us to embody, taste, and fully sense every moment of our life, every emotion as if it were our last, and with that, she challenges us to develop an appreciation for the most mundane encounters and daily routines.

lyrics

Morana

Zima stiže tuga I vetrom zemlju zavila

Što je niklo kraju dodje il’ u san se tiho povija

Ova sudba kao vetar juri u taj večni mraz,

Suze teku junačnice ne plašim se s’ tobom poći,

Kada dođeš Moro pevaj,

Pevaj plesaću ka noći



Morana, Morana, Morana, Morana,

Morana, Morana,

Kad' je vreme u mrak poći,

Polagano s' pesmom tihom,

Pevaj ja ću plesati ka noći



Morana, Morana, Morana, Morana,

Morana, Morana,

Kad' je vreme u mrak poći,

Polagano s' pesmom tihom,

Pevaj ja ću sklopit ove oči



Šta je meni sudba dala kud god sneg da veje, nosi

I kad suze ove teku, duša zbori sijaj ono što si,

Smejaću se kada pođem s’ Moranom da tražim sna,

I kad pevas zadnju pesmu,

Ne bojim se tebe Morana



Morana, Morana, Morana, Morana,

Morana, Morana,

Kad' je vreme u mrak poći,

Polagano s' pesmom tihom,

Pevaj ja ću plesati ka noći



Morana, Morana, Morana, Morana,

Morana, Morana,

Kad' je vreme u mrak poći,

Polagano s' pesmom tihom,

Pevaj ja ću sklopit ove oči

Morana


Winter is coming, the sadness of wind wrapping the earth

What has grown has reached its end, or is falling softly asleep

This fate, like the wind, rushes into that eternal frost

I’ll let the tears run, I'm not afraid to go with you!

When you come, Mora, sing!

Sing! I’ll dance into the night!





Morana, Morana, Morana

Morana, Morana

When it's time to go into the blackness

Gently, with a quiet song

Sing! And I will dance into the night!





Morana, Morana, Morana

Morana, Morana

When it's time to go into the blackness

Gently, with a quiet song

Sing! And I will close my eyes.





Whatever fate gives me, wherever the snow blows and leads

Even while shedding tears of sadness, my soul says: Shine who you truly are!

With laughter I will depart with Morana into my final sleep

Even when you sing the last song, I’m not afraid of you, Morana!



Morana, Morana, Morana

Morana, Morana

When it's time to go into the blackness

Gently, with a quiet song

Sing! And I will dance into the night!





Morana, Morana, Morana

Morana, Morana

When it's time to go into the blackness

Gently, with a quiet song

Sing! And I will close my eyes.
