ეს საქართველოა - ეს ლამაზი და თვალწარმტაცი პანორამა გოდერძის უღელტეხილიდან იშლება, დაბა ხულოს ტერიტორიაზე, აქ, უბრალოდ, დრო უნდა შეაჩერო და ცხოვრების ბედნიერება და სილამაზე შეიგრძნო, უნდა ჩაწვდე ბუნების სილაჟვარდეს და შეისისხლხორცო მისი მშვენიერება, თითქოს არაფერი, თუმცა, ამავე დროს ყველაფერი, სუნთქვა რომ გეკვრება ბედნიერებისგან და გული ამოვარდნას ლამობს, ადგილი, სადაც ცა მიწიდან იწყება და, გგონია, ღრუბლებს ეხები. ეს არის ადგილი, რომელიც აუცილებლად უნდა ნახო, სანამ ცოცხალი ხარ, რათა ბუნების სიმშვენიერე და დიდებულება შეიგრძნო.

The  Shio-Mgvime monastery  ( Georgian :  შიომღვიმე ,  Shiomghvime , literally meaning "the cave of Shio") is a medieval monastic complex in  Georgia , near the town of  Mtskheta . It is located in a narrow limestone canyon on the northern bank of the  Kura River , some 30 km from  Tbilisi , Georgia’s capital.  According to a historic tradition, the first monastic community at this place was founded by the 6th-century monk Shio, one of the  Thirteen Assyrian Fathers  who came to Georgia as  Christian  missionaries.

Georgian scripts

The  Georgian scripts  are the three  writing systems  used to write the  Georgian language :  Asomtavruli ,  Nuskhuri  and  Mkhedruli . Although the systems differ in appearance, all three are  unicase , their  letters  share the same names and alphabetical order, and are written horizontally from  left to right . Of the three scripts, Mkhedruli was once the civilian royal script of the  Kingdom of Georgia  mostly used for the  royal charters  and is now the standard script for modern Georgian and its related  Kartvelian languages , whereas Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri are used only in ceremonial religious texts and  iconography  by the  Georgian Orthodox Church .
