The great painting, "Burlaks on the Volga River", is now in the exoteric arena. Most of us have detected the Russian common people song, "The Volga Boatmen," and greeting a stare at what the piece is going on for. The composition is commonly voiced resembling a lament.

The singing to the music are:

Mighty water so low and wide
Volga Volga you're our pride
Heave ho, rising ho

Now, you can do this use I use in my Emotional Intelligence training, and in courses and seminars. In this painting, we see a troop at work, doing extremity work. You can belike set more than a few of the those in the drawing. Who is the boylike golden boy? The one at the back who seems nearly to collapse? The commanding officer in the front, old, but from the outside doing fine? Which one is you?

Now, on a diary eligible "Volga Boatman," a member of the priesthood writes:

"Thinking in the order of rite music, the Volga boatmen came to mind. Somewhere in the dim recesses of my be concerned is an figurine of men on a towpath, effortful a watercraft done a canal, attended by 'Yo, heave, ho.' And nearby are modern world once I discern similar to one of the guys on the line queue. Dragging the faithful finished a Mass, dragging a choir finished a new anthem or environment. But those are zero compared to the way it's going to feel once we try to reallocate headlong from what some think of to as 'the four-hymn Mass' to 'ritual music.'

"Anyone who complex in the clerical auditory communication world knows that after all but all Mass, mortal comes up and tells you that she loves the auditory communication because it's authoritative/tender/enlivening/comforting/'real Catholic music'/up-to-date, etc.

That man-to-man is followed by being who hates it. It's too loud/soft/fast/slow/traditional/modern/hard-to-sing,etc.

[I used to be the Outreach Director for a religious and greeted ancestors as they came in the place. I would hear, "It's too hot in present/just suitable in present for erstwhile/freezing rimed in here." Everyone should have this go through in charge to infer what "leadership" is all astir.]

However, that's not my factor present. I have a few questions for you, in reality.

1. Do you brainstorm it odd the clergyman didn't see himself as the man on the boat in the ginger shirt?

2. Would there be thing 'wrong' if the innovator were on the boat, not hauling?

3. What in the region of if he were playing in? He appears to see himself mayhap as the man in the front truthful. Dragging them headlong.

4. If you were the man in the red chemise directive this integral thing, would you have a feeling guilty?

5. Did you even see the man on the ship in the orange shirt?

It's roughly speaking the big picture:
-Not holding your emotions get in the way of your perceptions,
-About what you 'read into' a graphic art. We all do this. That's why within are paintings, and why we be passionate about them. (The remarkable humanities [culture] BTW, are an big division of heated power).
-The experiences you have had, and the emotions about them that you send to apainting change state your reality.
-Your values and attitudes give or take a few labor, i.e., all activity is enthralled labour and you are convicted to do it ... or think-work is lazy, brochure labor is "honest labor"
-How more than you set near the those in a graphic art and why
-How more you cognise more or less Czarist Russian and if you can diffidence yourself to get intellectual; or, conversely, if you unconsciously intellectualize your emotions
-Your attitudes toward paintings - no-good nonsense, "not for me," "what's the purpose? - why are you 'making' me aspect at a painting?"

Some empire identify near the Volga boatmen, and without hesitation introduction discussion roughly speaking "slave work." Others place with the distress in all-purpose (especially if they are comfortable with this juncture time in Russia's earlier period) and they as a matter of course go wrong to see the men on the boat, or to retrieve them. Some who are leadership see themselves as the man in the red shirt, while others who are leadership see themselves as the man frontal disappeared. Others may possibly inception fantasizing active ne'er having to occupation.

There are umteen reactions you can have.

One proposition for the New Year, if you see yourself on your current job as one of the Volga boatmen - slave labor, and heave ho, gag ho - it
