I've always played with my peers. The particularity of this is that we all loved to play next favorite friends, the Drava river. Whenever I remember those moments, my smile become a sort of childish. Make me that the sun along with the birds singing in it.

After a childhood and his dream came the awakening. I stepped into a real life. Education was longer than my childhood, but not enough for what I wanted to do. In the meantime arrived thinking about the future in which they discerned a job and making my own families. Today I know that I have all these experiences help better understand myrself and enjoy the world around me. After all the years I realized why the Chinese are saying that life is short to do many things, and it does not matter whether we are pigs or humans in this life. It is important to know how to open the heart and soul. I appreciate the thinking of people who have always been sensitive.

In my walk through life I have often noticed to walk with me the words. Walking with them, sometimes they were silent, sometimes noisy. From that our friendship emerged are my verses, which I announced in my four books of poetry and one book of prose. The hardest step was to start printing those long conversations.
