… the sound of crickets chirping on calm summer nights…
Answered prayer and dream come true. I am so glad I asked and stayed out of my own way. Thank you Universe, it’s absolutely perfect. Beautiful creation, divine manifestation… Moist eyes ablaze with joy, breathless with amazement and near disbelief: he has arrived, he is radiant, he is present, and he’s here with me…

Steam from the coffee
Permeated our nostrils
An oboe carried a raw melody
in through the open window -
Lace curtains waved in an afternoon breeze
Drawing attention away
From paintings dotting greying walls
to an unfocused point
suspended somewhere in the air
The perfect scene of a film,
My czech cousin and I agreed. Who is to recognize the voice of the calling?
Thanks again
