life is a test

To see Kizhi and to really understand the place, it is necessary to wake up before sunrise, take a boat from the shore and drift off, trying not to disturb the dawn waters, into the mist... The mist will be all around; you will not even see your own oars, and only a gentle, listless wave will bring back to mind the shoreless lake, which in no time at all will awaken and softly begin to murmur close to the island in white, foamy surf. Then you have to rest on your oars and wait. The sun is up already, but you still cannot see it - the only thing that tells you morning has arrived is the mist, which has now become thin and limpid and is just a narrow strip above the level of the water.
