About the Author:

Son, sun and dreams. Staring at mountain lakes forever. Coffee. The air after heavy thunderstorms smells wonderful. The best season is when magnolias blossom, tulips wake up and trees become green again. To eat five-leaf flower from the lilac shrub that does not grow close by but it will one day. Sadness and pain are creative. Crying too much, where a smile is essential. Negatively positive. Low self-esteem should be forbidden. If you don’t follow your dream someone else will. Compassion is painful. Š is annoying letter. Talking too much. Writing fits more - to erase redundant. Teleportation - seeing every corner of the world. To stay if must go. Chronically distrusting. Summer songbirds remind of visiting grandmother. Seven baskets of tomatoes can come from five seedlings. Silence is killing. Washing hair is a torment. Rarely agreeing. The Grinch and Christmas. Control freak. Snow, where are you?
