What a beautiful place! Water is a necessary component of places like this, in my experience. What do you think water represents?

Interesting question. I often pray by the water. I feel like it represents constant change, movement of time, energy, life.

Perfect interpretation Alexander! Sweet and simple and oh so profound, this metaphor of life. I’m glad you could write it before the storm!

Wherever I am, before my eyes is the picture I saw through my window at home on the Kyiv Left Bank, sitting at my desk: the slopes of the Dnieper, the bell tower of the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery near my Institute of Philosophy, Vladimir with a cross... I hope to see this picture in the frame of my window again soon.

How true, Alexander. And it narrates in a silent yet evident and powerful manner.

Beautiful words, Alexander!

Nature speaks to each of us, don’t you think? If we listen…to the silence, to the surroundings, to the exquisite beauty, the message(s) of Mother Nature is — often — life changing!
