Mystery of the Moonlight

I and my Wizard were coming back from our journey..
The latest change we saw as the darkness fell,gave me an opportunity to earn some respect from my friend,and gain in importance.
Coloring the world is like giving a soul to everything and everyone!-i said to my wonderful wizard-
I used to have a strong belief how it is the breath to give life.

-The breath is something which happened once for all times to come,but it is color of particles to give us special characteristics and make the essence of every being.

I found a way to express my satisfaction immediately-I was very lucky for getting such 'strange' particles to make me unique.

-It is not on Humans to know their true origin,they are still lost and have no memory of first creation but the stories told by someone else.

My wit again came onto the stage-That is how religion was born!Choose an idea you like,and continue believing in it,by persuading the others to accept it as the truth.
-There are tales to be attractive and get attention,and once loved,they continue to live forever.And no one likes to ruin myths if they tell some nice stories.

-But there is always a way to make your own ones-isn't there?

-A man can't find peace as long as there are undiscovered mysteries.It is such a program to make a living being curious and wishful for some unapproachable secrets.
The theme i loved the most,which deserved to give my friend the tenderest look.

Lunar Night near Yalta

Oh-Secrets,secrets....i may be not find a formula,but have my own one of staying young.I showed off before my friend,even he already knew that.
It is a reason,among the others,to come on this journey with you!

-No one can be sure of themselves.At least at the present time-he added.But everyone who makes great achievement,like you,should be very happy!
You are not aware,but what you did,is known to someone else and kept for the future.There will come a time for all the secrets to become unlocked,so no one should be selfish about rediscovering own secrets and be afraid,for there is no way your 'secret' being stolen and taken away from you.It is not given to a human being for now,to know everything!
One should always think of the future,it is our mirror...What your deeds look like today,that is how your reflection will be seeing in the future.

I liked this very much.
-How did people know they should be careful about their behaviors and works?Was it punishment or an accident to warn them?

-The truest reminder of doing right or wrong is one's reflection....whenever you look into the mirror you see yourself as vision of your mind,and the better you are,the more beautiful image of yours.Whenever one's soul get lost in obscurity and ignorance,he loses his charm and beauty.
There are plenty natural mirrors to serve us.....the nature itself took care of us.
-I can see myself on the surface of a lake or river,even on a little pond...on the furniture in my room,on the glass..everywhere!

-Only the room where the dead rest ,stays shrouded in mystic darkness......a past soul might reflect its unpleasant feelings on the living beings.And it is all because of the beauty again.....i hope you understand me..
I did understand,i believed...of course it is because of the beauty,for beauty catches and radiates our inner being,outside and inside.....it is whole life!Deadness gets insulted for being unable to influence their lives anymore..

By speaking about reflection,it was inevitable to call on the Moon....i confess,its radiation and influence is great mystery for me.....have my personal reason too
-Since the beginning of the world,striving to be different has always been the common feature.Even for the Earth it was great challenge,so there was a solution..in the moon.

-Is it about jealousy again?

-In some way it is...you might think that the Moon is greatly poorer than the Earth,but it has own advantages as well.

I could not keep my experience to myself anymore
-During the full Moon i feel enormous account of creative energy,that is when i have inspiration more than any other time.I can't wait for the full Moon to come..and i don't know reason.

-The earth got all the beautiful colors to boast and feel great,it was knowledge as a reward too....so many things to be ahead of the Moon,earth is so privileged.But it is not the rightest order of the Universe.There will be a moment in life,when someone's shortcomings reach you....be careful with pride and never be arrogant...
There came a time when Moon seized the greatest inspiration and creative strength for itself...what once was exclusive privilege of the Earth,it received like a returning ball.A huge golden ball to emit such a grandeur and fiery light on the Earth and all the living world there.


-But it is Sun's light to be redirected on the Earth-i showed off my knowledge.

Nothing could be surprising to my friend-You should regard the Moon being your ally!If there were too much light,then a slight soul of man couldn't stand such a glare...it is still that people need to walk a step by step...
There is another mystery to find its way and cover the Moon,a common attribute with Humankind.It always shows only one side of itself,having learned from man to hide a dark side of his personality.

-Was it how Earth became dependent on the Moon?

-It seems so...you see,the laws of physics are not complete known to anyone here,but an eye toward the space is always open!And a constant look is reserved for the moon..

-I am happy to learn even so little without the whole truth.
I though to myself:how quickly i learned to be modest!

-And imagine now how arrogant people can be!To neglect the whole Universe and pursue their personal paltry and selfish stories!It had to be followed by punishment,of course!
It is about the balance as well;each goodness takes someone's healthy thoughts,while too much negativity causes big turbulence,by bringing disasters,wars, bloodshed,murders,hate and envy..Men still didn't make such a balance..
What would happen if Earth and Moon lost their reciprocate relationship one day?Somehow it still works...but people are not relieved from calamities.

As a true human being ,i don't like being criticized and returned to the Moon's light...

Moonlit Night

-All the most beautiful souls and minds meet each other in the Moonlight!The treasure of all the poets and writers dwells on the Moon,and that is how i receive my creativity...my best writing happens while being covered by golden Moon.
And there were many other stories about some creatures and their transformation during the Moonshine...a werewolf to turn into a man..just an example i found..
All the evil mostly emanates from a man's mind!Clear it and you get paradise....not possible yet!

-Of course that people became evil so early,and their envy went all to the other living world,such as animals.
Their fears served as a base to accuse a creature for own evil and bad habits!However many love such mysterious stories,it is a man's hunger of unusual things.People would never settle for an ordinary life!
....perhaps a bothering life would kill them sooner.

-Oh,it is a bit annoying!- i heard myself.

-It is,but there is some truth in that.

The whole nature was subjected to Moon's transformation.Every child knows about the tide.

To express my joy about the subject i like,i quickly recalled in my memory a witch to approve and support the Moon's legend.

-A witch was such a favorite theme in the works of many writers,that even one of the greatest,Bulgakov himself,gave Margarita everlasting youth.


-Being different and making a great difference is reason enough to be regard as a witch or sorcerer..take care,with a slightly smile said my friend.

I couldn't hide my pleasure for being so different.

Coloring the World /Part 5/

By going down into the residence of subterranean worlds,and opening the door of a crystal palace,i became open-eyed to the whole Universe and image of our world,being more thoughtful and joyful about my future.What a blessing for me,having curious and inspiring coming days ahead...!Isn't it always about an idea!Have a great idea and you can make a masterpiece!And have courage to believe in yourself and keep your eye wide open!

What i and my friend Wizard reached during our common exploration,was just a touch of a variable and inscrutable truth.There might have been primary intention for the whole to work this way...starting from an inspiration with no end.
One should be brave!Always be open-minded and have courage!

There was twilight when i and my friend were coming back from old and marvelous background..

Hunting Birds at Night

-There must have been great reason for creating twilight-i thought aloud.

-It would be astonishing for people to enter the darkness from the light,it was necessary to grade colors and it was easier for dead souls to walk between blackness and light.
Twilight is a asylum for all who still don't know which realm they belong to.

I thought about many creatures to have left without light.
-What about bats or night's birds to live hidden from the light?

-They have got caught in old habits,and being accommodated to the surrounding,become lost forever for an ordinary life.
Bat is completely captured by its uniqueness,that even blindness is not an obstacle for him to stay with own habits.It is a common future,everyone's desire being unique,even by losing some of beauty and accommodation.Everyone wishes to be so special and show off himself,while lightly forgets how being special comes from merits.

-By staying out of visible worlds,bats probably kept their brown color-i tried to be ingenious.
-
-This time you are a bit wrong....having beautiful colored body is everyone's desire and they are not exception.It is the cause of their suffering,even though they found a way to revenge people for being treated so cruelly....there was a plot about them being vampire to suck blood from a man.

-It sounded somehow funny,although i confessed being scared of them too...and i told my friend an event from few years ago,when a great bat landed on the roof of my apartment...i was frightened,because it had very big wings,and from a distance i heard gruesome screams in the still of the night.
-Those yells reveal all the sorrow and pain for being so different..

-Be more careful about 'recycled souls',it is ones to come from the deadness..

The Bat

Another creature to have experienced the consequence of a man's fear is wolf.A long time ago people started spreading stories about a wolf- transformed creature by the name werewolf.
Whenever a man can't handle own fears he creates a tale,or start spreading gossip about everyone that he feels hate and envy.

-A man had great influence on the coloring..and every time he didn't like any of creatures or felt fear,he left them uncolored..
-and learned very early how to be evil..

And then came the surprising follow up ...

-Night and day are not separated by accident.....it was a profound decision,for the light was jealous on the mystery and nobility of the night,so it started to fancy some grisly stories and put in horrible creatures,to make night less attractive.

-Oh,- i was delighted with such an unpredictable idea of my wizard-it is really amazing!What was about the night?It was enviable too?

-Night hated how everything was approachable on daily light...it also didn't like daily warmth,pleasurable moments on the Sun,and all the marvelous nature with magnificent colors of flowers....who could ever resist their beauty?
Not to forget about Morning,its fleshiness and vivacity to rise a man's spirit.

-I confess,i never thought about them that way...is it needless to mention splendid stars in a velvet night?Of course that day was so angry!

-There is nothing that a day is deprived of.....it has all the beauty of sunset and a rainbow.

-We started with the story about the twilight-i reminded my companion-It seems it left without attraction.

-Once again you are wrong...It holds essential characteristics of their beauty....some light from the day,and first signs of a night's mystery.There is another tale how it collects all passing souls,and being the kingdom of all the lost reigns.


-I was already angry and upset that my friend turns everything into a nice and surprising story,and promised myself to pay more attention to creating my own ones in the future.

-You make the all being possible,and again each time different!-i said with a provocative voice.

-Now you made me come to the childhood...You are so childish! Yes,there is something about children and their joy to be true gift for humans..
A child was such an unpredictable joy and happiness,without any grain of jealousy and envy....to see with open eyes and singing heart, to love without mask or cheating,..i am not sure what was the main reason.Maybe God wanted to conciliate all the nature and the universe with a soft and innocent child's eye.That is why a child is free to imagine and create in the absence of any retrains...Child really makes WONDERS!

The Little Beauty in the Splendour of a World

While still being in the obscureness of a world to have begun its forming,i thought it would be an exceptional experience,whatever it to be,for i am a brave girl, to come down into underground world and look closely at the setting of a complete unknown variety.
My own visions were so poor,but that is why i had my Wizard to take me where no one to walk on the earth,ever set foot on.I was very privileged and proud.

- I know that you have special interest and extraordinary curiosity to go there,so i give you a chance,just once in your life to learn more about your destiny.-cautious words from my friend.
That is when i thought about greatest challenges in life given to us on special occasions.Time is an inscrutable and independent runner,and magic of such a moment knocks on the door of  your life as it pleases,you are there to catch it or not,and then,all the epilogue relies on you;it is like receiving an expensive present,a crystal vase you can keep whole life or smash just after few days....At least a lesson i learned,that such a surprise comes without warning,like a foggy shroud to embrace you...that is how an obsession begins.

Allegory of Painting

Descending into the earthly hallways was not easy task even for my wizard,so he needed to ask for help.I know you are impatient to hear which of all creatures gave a hand and took us bellow the surface.It was a rat!Of course,it is nothing weird since rat lives in dark gates and has been accommodated to a subterranean ambient.Being caught in the blackness forever,there must have been something more of mystery,and i couldn't help myself but ask my friend about its transformation.

-A mouse is by nature a very curious animal,and such a feature defined its fate.He took a journey one day and run into the gates where dead soul dwell,and eagerly jerked his nose into hidden knowledge,while trying to unlock a sealed shrine to steal their secrets.He was caught,but some of that occult treasury he thrived to save till present days.

-Was it a reason to stay uncolored?-once again i got a chance to show off.

And an answer from my friend thereby came more like a confirmation-He was punished to stay gray forever.

I didn't forget our 'colored' friends', but they already belonged to other existence and it might put their lives at greater risk.

-If you get into unknown surrounding,just let yourself be led ...it is where having the sense of sight is no necessary

  -The truth is never given to someone in the way he wants..it is always another one and different approach.That is where most people mistake.They are so spoiled and expect everything to be the way they want,but it is mainly opposite to the expectations.

 -I was wrong too-i imagined a devil-like creature to meet
...nothing similar..and greatest surprise was yet to come..stay patient....

I listened to my friend, and closed my eyes ..

Wizard opened a ruby door and we entered the great crystal cave with silver-like candelabrums,balls of noble rhodium and citrine to hang from the ceiling,and i knew immediately that all the unsightly creatures were forbidden to get in.
The squares on the walls and their glowing,were pure indication of the material used for the design....it was diamond.Crystal hall and all the flashing were most beautiful setting for an earthly eye to see.There was a big table of platinum,set with tin plates and spoons;a huge armchair in transparent dancing cinnabar,and a quite number of marvelous decorations on the wall,made of alexandrite and translucent natrolite.

The Grotto Grande

-You just entered a world to have been beyond human sight,but i don't fear for you since you already broke some limits between the worlds..
In the wink of an eye i remembered my 'white' meditation...heritage of a previous world

 -Isn't it we have one world?-in fact what i said was meaningless,i already knew more than two ..

 -No one lives just in one world;there are different realms.

 Is there anyone to live here?-i  said loud,although i had already portended an answer.


 -Of course,there are the beings to reside here,but they are not visible for you..since they have wings and astonishing beauty,they might represent a risky venture for a human eye.Humans are still accommodated to old fashioned habits,and their souls are loaded with all the vices to prevent them from meeting such a purity of innocence.The only period in life when we are allowed to peer into all the splendour of happiness,is childhood.And just like our little friend,humans hold some of that fortune for their lifetime....however not many..
 A man also can't stand greater truths but ones he is able to apprehend now.

-Does it mean they are perfect? I knew there was another secret

 -These beings were adored with wonderful talent and power,but their reward destroyed them.One of them felt envy,and since then they lost visible worlds,remaining caught between underground and earthly world...even Heaven is unapproachable for them..

 -Oh, how sad is it!

 And my wizard felt where my thoughts go..

Once there lived a beautiful little girl,all enchanting with 'sparkling body' and smaragdine eyes,so curious and naughty,that even most powerful being was not able to keep an eye on her....she found a way to escape..
So,little girl came onto the surface,saw the light of day and soon forgot previous life..Light erases all the blurriness..it is stronger than darkness...that is why we celebrate lights nowadays..
Light symbolizes healing and prosperity,it fights with the ominous creatures,it is perfection,happiness and beauty... And having come from crystal world it saved its transparency..only golden particles made it look like light gold yellow.

At least i was content knowing that i came from a beautiful wold and beings...i was puffed up..
All the time i lived in fear that it was an ugly horn-creature to influence my life and hold me back from achieving all my dreams.And my friend's thought crossed my mind again....truth is usually quite opposite and surprising,it is only us humans who are so shallow..

 -Our little "Beauty" was not able to live an ordinary life,and that is why she believed being punished ..in some way it is true.
One cannot live both worlds,having two lives ...one must choose where to live,with whom,and where to go,,
It is the same with our loves,you can presently have only one love,to love only one being..all the other options are not a true love..
On our return home,i noticed a little noctilucine creature to fly.
My omniscient friend knew another answer to satisfy my passion of mystery
-Our tiny and flying friend was so enamored of his female,that he went down to search for her,and soon it came out on the daily light again,it never got rid of such a delusion of a murky world......he kept glimmering forever to find its way.In present days we know it by the name firefly and this breed still uses such a glowing body to attract mates.

So it is last mystery we unveil today....

                                                    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year. May peace, love and prosperity follow you always!
Another thought to follow you through New Year:Believe in yourself,believe in miracles,and keep in your mind all the time that it is great work,persistence and love to endure and reward you.

A Christmas Story-Coloring the World

While you may think of happiness as something known,i shall give you another approach,if you only let me lead you into the whirl of intuition and imagination.
My happiness as being unseen before,found me in an obscurity of ignorance to light my face and send some of opulent knowledge,kept in the cradle of the first world

Just to remind you of the journey with my wizard into deadness of an unknown world which i was able to see thanks to magic of my friend...
How nice is it having friends!-i whispered,more to myself..

What's done,is done!I and wizard made few of sad creatures happier by coloring and giving them a breath of new life...did i do good thing?As soon as i put a beautiful robe on cat,dog and dragon,i made a difference between them and the rest of misty world.

-Wasn't it we conceived a bud of envy by our deeds?-i asked my friend
 So many times we wondered ourselves about the source of evil among us..

-I believe it is wrong thinking-he said-these creatures have already lived in hate and envy,it was not sourced  from anybody or anything around.. ...and it was worse than we feel about each other,it came about by their unsightly appearance.Facing beauty is blessing for the soul,not a doom.

Feeding the Rabbits

-When you say that,everything seems so simple and easy to me...but i still have a sense of guilt

-There was nothing you could do to make them feel better anyway....only with such a kindness,you took some of them out of useless suffering...there are useful and redundant pains and miseries...

-I couldn't help myself but smile...
So,a difference was made,and we walked on with our new friends;it is supposed that when you do something for someone,he becomes your friend,isn't?And i found a comfortable seat on the back of Dragon.

I was so eager to ask Wizard about Sun,but i waited for right moment...there was no line between day and night,the all around us was dimly and i wished for warm Sun's rays...

My friend who sees through my thoughts and perceive more than a mere man can ,waved his hand and called on God to let shining...A beautiful Sun's ball appeared from the east,and greeted us in wonder....
Suddenly some places in our vicinity became scorched,they simply couldn't stand such warmth to touch them at once.

-Now you know the price of Sun's blessing.....for that,there had to expire many,known and unknown,or never seen ever....
Every great attainment takes some sacrifices from us...to reach something big and unique,there must be some things to disappear and some people's beliefs to go.....
Sun is grandest happiness of our earthly world.and gift to give a birth to everything ...While letting a remote star to come into our vicinity,and bringing her with own hands,she became warm and changed her color into GOLD....that is how you see Sun now.

-Of course that i was delighted after hearing such an amazing explanation of my Wizard.
-It appears that we can change the world...and our destinies...i think it just happens...

-Once again you approved how clever and intuitive you are-said Wizard.The all is in God's power and our inspiration;move a little stone and you will discover another one;if you are brave and ingenious ,you will make some good for you and add more beauty in your life.


As soon as Sun scattered its glorious sparkles around,we noticed that many of creatures,uncolored ones,run away to hide somewhere.I was so sorry and impetuously rushed out to catch up a rabbit,that was so scared.. ...i recognized him disguised in a squared and bony creature,without fur ..i lent some of magic from my friend and made him into magnificent white rabbit ...and now you know why he is so flustered and run away from you.While holding him in my arms,i felt a hit into my head ...it made me rise my eye above and see another creature in fear,to jump on the branches of a tree;being a bit nervous and angry for the hurtle i received,waved my hand and wished to see him on the ground...i learned later that it lived only on the tree..
Oh my dear friends, it was my guilt to make him into animal to walk the land too..then i tried to figure out how to paint it,and seemed i was in dilemma,so it happened that many kept their gray colors,but if you look more studiously you will find ones of them in beautiful carbuncle hue.I felt great joy after i realized what i came across...It was squirrel!
That is why red color is,among other reasons,a color of joys and surprises.......if you have courage and instinct to find things,then there is a great chance to make yourself many joyful moments in life...

It is no necessary to mention that trees were naked yet;being deprived of such a wisdom of an animal to look for happiness on their own,they had to get their clothes in order to become so precious for the mankind.God appraised his creation and took a break for himself by laying at the nadir of a tree..he needed a shelter of Sun's warmth and wanted to have a shield..so he imagined leaves,that having received first warm rays,turned themselves into GREEN!


I confess that my knowledge about colors was so weak,or perhaps i neglected their importance,and promised myself to look closer what colors i pick into the future....at least to be more careful about things around me,and about the color of my love.........

A Christmas Story-The Frame of Beauty

                 
-Is it an illusion?-a natural question to appear after seeing such a beauty
-Beauty is never an illusion..it comes from our inner beings where strongest truths dwell.


What my Wizard taught me,was to never be modest in my quest for finding astonishing truths and not being afraid of breaking the line seemingly put before a human eye.
To get me into a wonderful setting,he even turned me into little girl i used to be.

A Girl with a Kitten

As we painted our world,by giving it most beautiful colors,i inevitably felt some sorrow for every creature being left out of enchanting paints.
But this time,it was people who were the subject of my interest;i know it is a complex theme and hardly we know a piece of the truth,so i found nice opportunity in the presence of my Wizard.
We run across a group of people who were uncolored and looked for their path with hope to get into the brightness one day.

-Does it mean that only 'colored ones' are allowed to come into the world as we know presently?

-Oh,once again you surprised me by your ingenuity!There are many creatures to still seek their way through darkness in order to emerge onto the surface.

-I am a bit sorry for them.

-You should not regret ones who left behind!There will be time for them to find their unique path ;even if they failed in endeavors,still there would be a way for them to steal some of happiness and love from us.

-How so?-in fact i portend what explanation might be..

-It happens sometimes that some of them get into our souls,and we become obsessed;as long as they dwell inside of us,it is possible to feel all our feelings,along with sorrow and pains..
....even it is possible to appear in real world.

-You say,to walk and live with us,as a real Human being?

-Yes, that is what i thought.Think of gratitude,it is like BEAUTY...
A beautiful girl held her hand mirror by looking at herself,but being heady,she let an underground female being come into possession of her beauty....

-I am confused and it is not clear to me yet..


-She was unfaithful and too arrogant for everyone and everything around..and the beings who were responsible for the painting,didn't like it and punished her;on the place she occupied,came another being and took her shape...

-Oh, it is astonishing!

-It may be cruel,but think about squirrel and rabbit you painted by picking them out of the rest of creatures to beautify them.Beauty is knowledge...she is recognizable,..


-Isn't She an Illusion?-i interrupted him

-Beauty is never an illusion..it comes from our inner beings where strongest truths dwell.

-Is there any hope for the girl to recover her life?

-Everything was put into a frame,like pictures you sort out and choose best ones for the frame;and God did the same while creating his world.There are many Goddesses to still reside in the heaven,being so magnificent, that earthly beings could not stand such a beauty..


-It is so nice to know how there are many beauties waiting for happier times to live their own truths.
Did our girl lose her frame?

-It is not lost,but only engrossed by someone else's spirit.
One should always be cautious in which setting put their habits, thoughts and desires..

-What if one day our forests,rivers, flowers,....all the beauty of nature were to die..?

-A man is responsible for the whole ambient we live in.It is the frame which we are put in now,beautiful colors of nature,vivid sounds and richness of fruits..Could you imagine subtler colors for a river or ocean?There are sparkling hues of blue.....sky-blue,ocean-blue..
Or just think of the river to paint her depth with dark green and turquoise.
-I ponder over the heaven and clouds,and all the mystery to happen there..Only few things are able to rival the beauty of Sunrise or Sunset..

It was inevitable for me to ask-What is the most beautiful in your eyes?Or which BEAUTY?


-It is the SOUL!Soul is most beautiful and precious,but once lost,she makes you lose everything!

I thought seriously about his words....seem so true,i had to confess to myself,and there was fear to prevent me from asking for further explanation.
But my Wizard didn't let anything pass unnoticed
-I know your 'secret'..you believe for yourself that you lost your 'soul';and there are reasonable reasons for your doubts and fear.I am sorry that i can't give you all answers you expect from me...
I only know that for some reason you are very special girl and live a different life.Uniqueness you are granted with and your young look make you one of most beautiful girls ever... like a Goddess.
 ....being a Beauty is great privilege

-Oh, i am honored to be treated like a Goddess!
And for all my girlfriends now,who may feel jealous now,i ask them to have understanding and let me live up to my beliefs,being risen on such a hight throne.
Wizard was obviously curious about me and continued-There might be some creatures dwelling in darkness who know the answers you long for.Being mindless and letting your soul get caught,made you dependent on someone else's will ;i am afraid you can do nothing on your own,but be peaceful and patient.
Unless you live a destiny to be unclear for us,because it belongs to another frame of reality......

A Christmas Story-Coloring of Mythological Creatures

Being a grown up doesn't make me less eager for listening or reading a beautiful Christmas Story.As soon as Christmas comes closer i think about a story of mine...
perhaps just a remnant of my childish days to make me feel a bit lost and strange in my real age....

I asked my Wizard for help

By holding my hands,he took me to the edge of an abyss.It was a misty Morning when birds send their whispers to senseless souls..

Take a look down-he said,but be prepared for astonishing world
No need to say how curious i was...i gathered my breath and stuck out my head to have a glimpse of mystic hole...

Don't be afraid ...!-dreams come true while flying into unknown...,just step into emptiness..

Pegasus

Laying on the bottom or crawling around each other ,there were endless ridiculous creatures...what other name
to picture such unseen and weird animals?
I know you wonder how i could see good from such a great distance...well,it is unnatural world which sucks your senses by polluted air....a zone of dead souls...

There was a creature with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle,supposed it was a Griffin,and a Balaur -like creature with multi heads;i noticed a tiny bird with soft eyes that i learned to be a primary appearance of Bunny-bird,the soul of the Sun God-Amon Ra; there was an appealing creature with one horn,and Wizard,who knew more than real world,named it Karkadann ;then i saw an early mix of animal and human with the tail of a scorpion,which my companion called Manticore.Three head dogs and horses with wings,great lizard and dinosaur like creatures..snakes with wings,cats covered with spines,were just some of miracles i saw,and many of them were depicted and recognized in our existence.Since it was the very beginning of Creation,not each of them was colored.

By looking at such a creation,God wished one day to change the view and asked for help to make a new dweller...
-How?Wasn't it that God himself created a man..-i knew in advance who my wizard thought about

-It is one of greatest delusion ever..God is great but not everything is in his power....-he answered and my sight into ancient world continued to grow by each word he told me

Oh,it becomes more exciting,i love when old taboos get broken...-i felt a thrilling in my voice and clapped my hands.
-But it put you in a new position next to God who is Almighty...

-Don't make confusion or give undeserved attributes to me..God is a catholic eye,he is LIGHT and WISDOM..
we come after him with our little wonders to light up some missing lines..

I hardly stayed peaceful,burning from impatience to remind him of evil to be present among us.So You say light and wisdom,but what about evil ?There must be another side of reality..

-There have gone many a year since first creatures came into the world as we know it now...and there is another world which we still regard unreal,but it exists as well..  they are unsatisfied,greedy to get a shape which is lost for them ..they crave for some missing beauty,everyone loves to be beautiful,have a nice hair and eyes...

-Oh,i never thought about them in that way!Now i feel sorry for all of them...

-So envy is not so mystical as it seems..Would you like to have an enchanting dog or cat?With green or  caramel eyes...i can make such a little wonder..just look at..

It lasted just a blink of eye,while he rushed out,seized a hideous dog and brought to me...
-See,it is unsightly,has pale eyes,and is without hair...and a long tiny neck...wait for a moment-

It took not more than few seconds for magic he performed...he made it into a beautiful dog,with sweet caramel eyes and gold fur...
again i clapped my hands and jumped ..-It is wonderful you did!Thank you so much!

Now i hope you see things better,and understand such a 'poor' and neglected world more than earlier..if you knew anything at all....more for himself,he whispered.

I pursued with my curiosity...-What happened with the sky and rivers,all the nature around we enjoy ?

Great accomplishments are in God's hands...He gave colors to the sky...By watching these miserable creatures
to yearn for a bit of lightness,his eye was tearing and a teardrop fell down...from that, a RIVER was born..

How wonderful !I was delighted...it makes me get a feel for river to be sensitive,a new way of looking at things and thinking....amazing!

And God's eyes are blue,that is why river became blue....

But my passion to know more didn't stop....Is it the same story with the sky?

You are very clever and intuitive.....such attributes lead you toward the greatest achievements....he smiled,and continued-There was an account of sorrow about gray expanse spreading before his eyes and wished to paint it,..blue seemed like a matching hue for such a transparent space......
but i know that blue is symbol of WISDOM....and there was one to suggest it to him..
Of course,not everything got colors by his WILL...there were always little plays around to satisfied one's thirst for making wonders...

I opened my eyes as wide as i could,full of happiness and delight...-what spectacular choice for me to make..!
Please, let me color one of them....
-I told you never to beg for anything...You are so serene,for you are given more than many have in earthly life...
For a moment our main point of conversation and my desire were interrupted,while i asked
-What is it about me to be so special?Although in myself i hold a secret already..but as every naughty girl,i pretended i didn't know what he was thinking about..

-You know very well little foxy girl,that you have a sparkling body,it is velvety particles inside of you to give you a strange and unique look..
that is truth..i knew...the only i didn't know was ..why ?

Which creature do you want?
-I want to make one of them be GOOD!Since i love dragons and there are many talks of them being evil,i wished to change their beliefs.....
-Dragons are not evil... .and only what you can do is to beautify them..choose one of them..

-By holding my breath,i reached my hands around his shoulders and we flew.....

A dragon caught my eye by standing all alone in the obscurity ...i felt it longed for something different ..i simply knew..i wished for him be colored in antique red with green eyes and gold flame to go out of his mouth...of course red is color of fire,but i imagined something more...
Still there are many to doubt in his existence,and i needed to make him glowing in red to be so impressive ..as being inside already!

And i made more miracles...i colored a few birds,and learned them to speak..i found a dove like creature to be wild,and keeping in my memory one to have recently landed on my terrace and go into my room,i wanted to make him tame..and painted him in noble purple being deserved by his friendly and close relation with a man.Dove communicates with underground world and is a messenger between dead and live worlds..

An imposing cat seemed perfect to make her into amethyst with dreamy bluish eyes..i didn't like her big ears and made them small...anyway,a cat more feel than see and understand..she is intuitive and very resistant to earthly strokes,she can survive and renew own life many times..

Most i could do for a snake was to free her of a shell,so that she can creep now....and being warned from my wizard to not look into her eyes,i left out coloring them....nobody looks a snake into eyes!

Unfortunately,a dreamy ball resembling our Sun to sneak up from the east,forced us to come back,by leaving this antediluvian world,while i was thinking about whether it really vanished or exists parallel with us.I didn't ask my wizard anything more,as i kept some questions and surprises for the next time we go to new journey.It is the answer on your dilemma:i shall continue my story....



A Little Notice
Just to let everyone know who is in dilemma about the way i colored a few of creatures,i didn't do that with classic paints,it was MAGIC...
And a short request:
If some of you might suggest me names for my mystical creatures,for as you noticed,not the all of them are known at present./you can ask children for help/
Thank you so much!

Whispers of Childhood

WIZARD and ME


ME:Will you take me to a short journey into my childhood days?

WIZARD:Why do you want to go back?

ME:I wish i could see myself as a little girl

WIZARD:It is easy,just put your imagination in move or look at a picture of your childhood

ME:But i wish to rediscover some secrets from the time i was just a child.

WIZARD:I knew that you didn't tell me the truth

ME:Maybe i was afraid of other people's reaction

WIZARD:There is a big difference between the two worlds-Childhood and Maturity ;
to feel and experience your youngest days you need to live another time again

ME:I need it right now,for i write a story

WIZARD:I shall give you a glimpse into past times,and nothing more..perhaps you will
find a little nook for me on your pages..to keep me from being forgotten;you see,
i live in one's memory,from century to century people pass their testimonies
and keep me alive.....if there were no reminiscence i would die..

ME:It sounds like recall of a fire that people once kept burning ....

WIZARD:Only it is about LIGHT now..good memories light up the future,

but bad ones bring calamity and misery;every time a man lights up a path,
we all step into bright days;each time one starts a war it brings us back into
the darkness...it is not easy to get out of the HELL..

I am sure even there was a visitor to darken and puzzle my childhood,
i would bring about but pure brightness for you and me....Thank you my dear WIZARD!

WIZARD:Good luck with your endeavors and aspirations,there is a reward for everyone who
is able to revive their youth....and that is great SECRET!should i reopen it for You,it takes from
you to make a new path for others who are brave enough just like you are,,.Will you?,,
..anyway with no special promise i shall tell you it,because i know that you already
reigned a secret ..You won old age...so every time you make a path for another one,
you are granted with the sparkle of eternal Youth....
The more starry paths you open the greater and more beautiful your Youth....

I smiled,said nothing but was sure that my wizard knew the whole truth for me and of me...and i knew without  even saying a word to me,that there was a hidden danger to stop me from achieving all my dreams,i knew for myself which one i still longed for...

When i waked up that morning,nothing was the same as previous days;i felt like being suddenly touched by smell of some olden and rushing times,as came out from crumpled and burnt pages of a book to have stayed too long exposed to Sun's merciless rays.Particles of dust floated and soared high above my head,while walking on a unsightly path remembering me of some colored and lost time,and as every child being eager to feed own curiosity i looked to the right and left with hope to notice some recognizable objects,or signs to lead me into the course of unveiling my dreams.

As i was walking along the trail,all the colors changed their robes in a desperate call on me to replace them with new ones to refresh my memory and clarify sights around me.I recognized an aged tree of apricot to bear delicious fruits,then there was a tall and robust mulberry,a place to spend few hours in meditation,by sitting high on its hidden branches.Who doesn't like abundance of mellow purple and pink fruits?Can you imagine the simplicity of a moment,when you feel like a Queen while dangling legs in empty space bellow,to rise few meters from the ground!What would many of us give for such a pleasure and magic of the moment?
I hardly was aware how that lovely tree held me in its hug by trying to pass on me its own pains and hopes.. ...how many times i am unconscious about another man's griefs and expectations?For the all is live in my magic land,and every thing,every creature has personal story to tell us.

Whether life still exist,or i am a slender breeze in obscurity,just a faded copy of gloriousness that i was granted with,in a time to have gone.That is which makes me doubt in reality of my life,when everything seems so dummy,with people around me seemingly walk,talk and make other gesticulations,but the pulse of life has vanished or made into something resembling a realm where the prince of darkness potters and makes his dirty mischiefs.I constantly lose myself in that labyrinth of pale perceptions and an account of intensive feelings in my first views of life around.

There was a river,and still she makes her appearance while running by my village house,only the stories are different since the time i had some lovely days in her company.When i return there and look into its surface i see how the warmth and excitement of those early moments have complete fled,while vainly longing to bring back vividness and hilarity of past enjoyment;and i know i can only revive memories starring into a framed picture to hang on my room's wall.
Oh, how passionately i wish i were again in primary layout of my picture,abandoned there and free of time's measurements and changes,inevitably followed by the flow of passing years!From my distance now,i see these visions colored in gold and silver,as reflections of vivid and colorful vibrations they were once.
I looked for more haunted places that used to catch my attention and love;one of them found its place in the hills up my village where my grandma and granddad grew vine and meadow,patterned with tress of plumes,pears and apples.In the early Spring,it found me happy with lovely wild strawberries i picked and enjoyed in their scent.And they still occupy the same stretch;i can walk among them and enjoy in scenery,but can't feel previous alluring and marry impressions,except in my memory.The trees,strawberries and meadow rest now in their tawny and blanch decor.
The scenery stood the same but I am the one to be changed because the lucidity and sensibility of child's eye has gone forever.I don't say that my childish spirit abandoned the nest without leaving its fluffs to keep tracks and enriched me in these decrepit times..
Hence i feel that the all was someone's hoax,to let we go through life toward its supposed end,to grow,but persistently losing the glow and sparkles of life's pleasure and happiness.Somehow our basic picture got spoiled,and like anyone trying to recover a masterpiece,would only find themselves to never make anything better or return its beauty and purity given by first colors,painted with the precious moves of a brush.
What grows fantastic in this story,if you happen not to conceive it,is the sense of time's illusion and fascination.;that little child with personal memories and experience seems to me like coming from primeval times,and containing all the wisdom of life.
I see that child in hold of pristine wisdom written by invisible visitors and unknown by God,while a rapacious hand of foxy Devil seized a slice to allure and deceive ones who are brave to search for sacred knowledge.I assume it comes to us in flash of light traveling a distance between remote star and find its sprout here on earth.
My musing over past times,made me lose sense of reality ....where is beginning?where is the end?Did i go into right direction?What if the very beginning of my life was my greatest achievement,being but a pure divination.That child makes me upset to suspect in my present,my judgment and reason,to wonder myself who knew more and lived real life.Me or that child?It makes me feel living an untrue life,in which we mostly become lost in reaching true love,in learning,enjoying and celebrating the life itself.Being caught in an emptiness while trying to get to the top i climb all the time,i slide further and further into the deep,stuck in the frivolity and frost on the bottom.Such a condition makes i lose my reason,doubt my mind,cognition and observation,by suspecting myself about where is the mistake;and if there was any,whether it had to imply in my life or i made a choice once.


Still there is hope for all of us to walk on the tracks of childhood's glistening paths...
What You really need to learn is simplicity of FIRST STEPS a baby learns .!Make first steps,dare to walk,and everything will come to be as it was divined and drawn by one's hand to paint your canvas of life.Start anything,no need for a bulk of designs and plans ,just let your leg make one STEP and all the rest will unroll as it was predicted.That is the wisdom which the child i used to be told me in whispers,by slowing their sounds over the years to pass by,and like music forgotten but learned once,they might be refreshed in memory to teach us again about life,unwrapping the picture of FIRST STEPS in the earliest childhood!
Remote sounds and notes,smothering WHISPERS from past times,are still able to bring back to us first and inborn KNOWLEDGE from our ancestors,left in heritage,the road of which ,we can only find in FIRST CHILD IMPRESSIONS!
That is,as i see it clear now,why i kept in my mind that child as being AGED one, in my vision!The child showed pristine WISDOM leading through unawareness and subconsciousness of a naive and genuine being to just make first steps in life,more a reflection passed on us from first beings once walked on the Earth!

Witch and Wizard

There will always be Witches and Wizards
What is the way a man becomes witch&wizard?

I don't know whether it is a general opinion or not,but to my understanding ,a strange person is most acceptable to be regard as a witch.'Being unusual' is the one who deviates from the common rules of behavior,seen more likely as being turned to spiritual life and inner attributes to adore us as special creatures.Also it is one who is inevitably seen as unapproachable and unrecognized from people in vicinity,which leads to some kind of isolation to cause a damage for entire community and the mankind as a whole.
Every time you feel yourself being 'strange' take it like a blessing given by the grace of God and overall creation.A life beyond trivial things and ordinary views,is a privilege....it is a gift and honor,and more than anything else,a task for you to go for and resolve some puzzles or contribute to the progress of Humanity!

Many a years have gone but an 'image' of a witch still cycle around ... being burned on the stake is probably out of  your possible experience and destiny,and i encourage you to show as much of the attributes of
a witch ,as you can.I call on You to never grow old,to keep your primal illusions and alluring pictures from the fairy tales,settled only in memory now,to live for love and with love,to cherish little things that once you went to bed with;may it be a doll you kept in hands,or some other little loves which had their place in a wooden case locked in the loft among forgotten clothes and the rest of an ancestor's heritage....

As a true "WITCH" i empower you to keep all your dreams unlocked!
I empower you to take all your old DREAMS with You,wherever you go!
I empower You to never stop dreaming new ones!
I empower you to baptize the most loved places as soon as new dream hunts you!


Every time you feel uncertain about your dreams,think of them like being lent from your ancestor walking their own lands,who were unable to solve tasks and live up to the trust given them.....
......because ..
Dreams are heritage to pass on from one generation to another,travel through centuries and renew themselves over and over again...Dream has never been a single possession,it came to you like a pledge and promise that one day someone's dream must come true!
There was a time when someone dreamed a beautiful dream,wanted so hard to accomplish it and failed!Imagine now how it missed to see the light of the day by the present time,and one's wish left behind to squirm.in its longing of becoming real one day..it waits for You to make a lost dream come true...
Even if you and i miss our dreams,there will be a time for someone to make them come true...that is why there is no reason for sorrow;what an ancestor in our line missed to do,will see the light of the day through someone else's life.We only pass on our common visions and desires and according to a reward or punishment become a winner or a loser,and with first scenery get their best parts!
Whether my dreams i missed to make into reality is a reward or punishment, i am not sure..of every one i realize, i shall think with gratitude to my ancestor and predecessor and for every one to be missed i would think as a sacrifice for a greater goal.


Let your visions carry you on the wings of fantasy,and you might reach a point where archetype of birds and pristine creatures nestled first embryo of your night's vigil and daily agony.In ancient times a Dragon held secret of the light,and by cruelty of first humans, it was lost for ever....
Presently,the only way we can recover it, is to keep the track of our dreams with hope to get to the secret,and once recognized,bring them back to us!

Catcher of Dreams

There are hunters of dreams to simply go into one's dream and catch.....it is inevitably to run across a pale one,because there are plenty of thoughts,but no excuse to throw out all the fair ones..

Whatever dreamer to have gotten a hold of your 'secret' it is only up to you to go for your night's visitors in a try to recognize them and earn their trust.Think of it as being not enough to get a reward for lifetime,and for your comfort such a travel might be exciting adventure.Catcher of Dreams!

I myself have my own 'keeper',one to hold me in a prison all the time.....it is Devil...You must find your own warder...We both need to steal the key of a magic door,get into hidden halls &caves and find the LIGHT !

I think of a wizard to ask for help,but to the present time i have not found any one..

My feelings and instinct tell me that there are many unwanted beings to hunt my dreams and disturb me in reaching my goal...evil and jealous,they hinder me from making brilliance of my life story,and i get rid of the damn to be made on me in some old time!I know it!


One day you would be miracle
or
WITCH and WIZARD

If it is not in your power to live someone else's life,i can give you some miraculous words to make your world happier...if everyone does a little more or the same ,we shall bring our dreams come true!

I am aware i can't change the world,but imagine, i used to think i could make people become better!Led by a demon strength i was walking on the streets of my town which were so empty in the time.With swelled stomach and risen head i resembled a WITCH,framed into a description of French writer Jules Michelet.
/La Sorciere/

"If the lady of the castle is a baroness, our woman is a queen; and
more than a queen,--we dare not say what." Her beauty is a dreadful, a
fantastic beauty, killing in its pride and pain. The Demon himself is
in her eyes."

"Meanwhile wherever the woman appears, she becomes the one great object
of love"

"What a contrast! Here is the wife of the desert and of despair, bred
up in hate and vengeance, and lo! all these innocent things agree to
smile upon her!"

Years flew by,and what once was a mare pavement now became vivid and fulfilled street with the swarm of people walking in both directions.What used to be just a dream,as time went by,turned into reality!Oh,what a blissful moment in making things come true!To succeed just with one little thing makes a move forward to a brighter future!What seemed to be so hopeless and with no importance in a moment of the past,one day would become new mirror of your surrounding!
How many of the greatest minds in the world have tortured themselves with their own battles to get over the gates in their minds and bring some changes in favor of the Humanity!
A head plunged into the notes, a pen in the hand,effort to catch every thought to cross their mind,to understand and apply on their proficiency,while having few or no one around  to give support!A walk along the paths,wandering the forests and mountains,escaping into solitude to calm own thinking and forget ones to call on your madness or look at you like a monster!
In any way for the individuals,determined to bring into life wonderful ideas,there was no restrain,just looking ahead into desired goal.

Should be everyone's choice to never stop believing in themselves for:...HE KNEW

one day someone's madness would become the most beautiful canvas!

one day someone's persistent research would become the greatest medicine!

one day,someone's written words would become the most read novel or poem in the world!

one day,someone's life would be the theme to speak about!

one day,someone's imagination would bring new possibilities for the whole humanity!

one day,someone's wounds would become the mark of a Saint's hardship!

one day someone's pain would become the holiest sign in the sky !

one day,someone's life would be celebrated and memorized along with the day of birth and death!

one day,someone's victories would become the curriculum in all the schools and the subject of every pupil's aspirations!

one day,a woman's life would be inspiration for a girl to become famous and beautiful!

one day,it might be your glory and reward for all your sleepless nights, insults and injustice!

one day,it might be YOU!

Live for your dream,happiness,love and victory,even if one day you be called a Witch* Wizard!

Whatever part in the world you belong to,i live off your suffer,fears and hopes,i know that there is no perfect place for living,have no answers to all the questions,but i offer my friendly hand,my written words and my beautiful thoughts as gift for you to make the all be more bearable and looks magical!
