Нефрит и песок

author: Аполлония Делос

The wisdom of the East has no strict geographical boundaries. It sounds equally profound in the scorching deserts, where the caravans of time disappear over the horizon, and on the silent mountain paths hidden in the pre-dawn mist. On these pages, the hot breath of Persian rubai meets the cool whisper of mountain bamboo. Laconic lines about a predestined path smoothly give way to sketches as fragile as the petals of a wild cherry tree, in the spirit of the ancient masters of the Middle Kingdom. This book does not teach or impose truths—it merely invites you to look inside yourself, to the place where, in absolute stillness, the most precious treasure ripens. Life can ruthlessly push us to the breaking point, but the sky sends hardships only to temper the spirit and help the divine seed hidden within everyone to break through the stones and blossom into a beautiful flower. Let the poems rest on your heart like the reflection of the moon in water—without disturbing the silence, but filling it with the great stillness of the Universe!
