The twelve sections of this book resemble the seasonal cycles of people — both close and unknown — living across the vast landscapes of Eurasia and other continents. As you measure minutes, days, and years, you may suddenly discover the magical twenty-fifth hour of inspiration and creativity. In these reflections on the world, harmony, and love, I come to understand — with a pain in my heart — how complex and dramatic the relationship between humans and nature can be. Before the leaves fall and after, on the soil of our roots, lines of poetry are born — lyrics, ballads, and songs — echoing with SOS signals that are picked up by the sensitive ears of those walking the ecological path. Yet, away with despair — and I say: “Until we meet again,” addressing all living things.
