''I grew up surrounded by stones, mountain herbs, stars, sheep and other doubts and suspicions...
I thought I knew all mountain winds and bird shrieks. The air around me breathed deeply. Stopping my breath, I soaked up the sounds of that breathing. I walked on the million-year-old stones, that have witnessed glaciers and avalanches...
It seemed that the centuries were guarding the mountain stones...''
