Preface

Why did I decide to write this book? Of course, I did not do that because I
consider myself someone special or extraordinary. I just happened to live a bright and
quite unusual life, and if this book helps someone not to feel lonely in our beautiful,
but very cruel world, then I have not written it in vain.

We got used to make our life easier by saying: "it cannot be, because it never can
be" readily casting aside everything that cannot be squeezed into our "universally
recognized" frameworks. We got used to believing that all people are kind, that TV
sets broadcast "only truth and nothing but truth" which is so comfortable to live with
and anything that brings (or just could bring) us any inconvenience, or we cannot find
room for in our "well-organized", but at the same time too problematic world, is
banished from it without the least regret.
This book is exactly about this kind of "incorrect" life. It is a history of a "little
hermit" lost in the incomprehensible and sometimes very spiky world of people. One
who has walked a long and very "thorny" way and finally found her real essence, the
understanding of life and those wonders which accompanied her throughout her life.
I am grateful to my grand-dad for bright and
unforgettable recollections with which he filled
my child's world and also unusual wonders which,
regrettably, very soon became the "scourge" of my
childhood existence.

I am grateful to my father. I could not have
lived my life with my chin up, never surrendering
or losing my faith in myself without his support.
My life would never be the way it is now without
his love and faith in me.
I am grateful to my mother for her wonderful
kindness and faith in me, for her help and resolute
guarding of my "eccentric" abilities.

I am grateful to my wonderful son Robert
who gave me a chance to be a proud mother, for
his open heart and his talent, and also because he
just exists on this Earth.
And, with the whole of my heart, I am
grateful to my amazing husband, Nicolai
Levashov, who helped me to find myself in my
"lost" world, gave me the understanding of that to which I tantalizingly tried to find
answers for many long years and opened a door into the fabulously beautiful world of
Big Space.
To him, my best friend without whom I could not imagine my present existence,
I dedicate this book.
