"Today, I dreamed of my grandmother.
She was the most beautiful flower fairy. She flew to me and landed on my palm… she smiled.
I wanted to carry her over a huge fence covered with sharp metal spikes into another beautiful world, where eternal spring reigns, and the trees bloom with fantastic flowers all year round. This world stretched out in a magical valley on the shore of a crystal-clear lake. Waterfalls sprinkle the stones with silver water, spreading into a dust of glitter... infusing each stone with life, from which new, unseen before flowers grow, more beautiful than any I have ever seen."
"Grandma was young, the most beautiful in the world. She smiled at me… and I tried to climb over the fence to reach her… but I couldn't.
She flapped her wings and flew into that magical, warm world, dissolving among the flowers and their petals.
I dream so much of seeing the most beloved woman in the world, the one who raised me and taught me the secrets of seeing beauty, loving life, compassion, and feeling deeply and truthfully… I dream so much of seeing my home, the one that made me who I am… I miss it so much."
– Maria Kulikovska
