Katerinahappy to share my voice with these many inspired people...
Dear all,I am Katerina Evseyva, I live in Yakutsk, it's in "Siberia" (just to make it easier to understand my location. It's actually the Sakha republic, Russian Far East). I live in a very far away place from you, in a town which is proclaimed beurocratically a capital for diamond bearing region of Russia...
First - a quick look at your messages made feel linked to the rest of the world as there are so many who love the writer and are inspired by his artwork. And what unites us is his work...
No need to say I love his writing, his personality and ideas seen in what he depicts on the paper. I also was "caught up" to this author being quite young, maybe of 16...and it was The Dandelion Wine. Later I began writing some peotry in English and there are some poems inspired by his stories.
Second - I guess the majority read his work in English (and it's his mother language, yes), but I read in Russian, and I feel grateful to the interpreters' work - with their help I "heard" the master. And though now I can read in English, I still prefer to read him in Russian, sorry
And the last thing here for now - let us all remember that we should keep those small but significant traditions that the author writes about - being careful to the old and to the relatives, not to forget how it is great to walk barefeet on the grass...how sweat and sore the berries are, wild and produced by mother earth in the wood-amid meadows.
well, sorry for the length
