„I’m angaged in faith, which is not statistic or stopped but it’s still resaerching new mysteries.”

And those, who haven’t left not surely will come back
And you are never sure talking about love
Is first the last or the last is first”
It’s his most famous poem.

6. Huge Little Faith
They’re looking for huge faith while their misery is huge.
They’re looking for saints, who know surely
How far away you can go out of your body
But you’ve moved mountains
You were walking through sea
Although you said to those, who didn’t believe
That you didn’t know so much
Little faith.

7. LOVE There is hard love Like salt or just stone hard to eat
There is prediction love,
Which always orders two graves
There is inexact love like pupil who reads quickly
There is love which is delicate like holy bread becouse there is emotion inside    there is love which is crazy egoistic stolid
Like autumn a bit sick with moon-lier there is love which was body and became spirit
And the one who won’t leave becouse-it’s impossible 

8. His life philosophy.
If human would understand God, so god haven’t been God. Mysteries are something, what normal man can’t handle but they make world interesting. Suffer are important becouse God is fair and not everything is fair becouse people won’t need each other if it would be fair. Love proves that God exists .

First award of PEN
First award of Ikar press
