About this ebook
CHARMS OF A WOMAN
"The infinite purity and power of the Word had gone to forgotten legends out of which only some fragments are preserved. What remained in people is only some primordial connection which in certain moments evokes longing, presage and even faith that there is something. That longing and presage touches some of us. It transfixes and even burns, mimicking our intuition and our most secret and delicate bonds with something primordial".
In the beginning was the Word John 1:1
"We used to exchange literature about herbs and read about famous herbalists such as Mauricie Messegue who cured Churchil in his time or about Jova from Romania mountain who healed the wounds of Kitty Swan whose face was burnt in the fire. After the treatment with Jova’s balms her face was believe in the healing and beneficial powers of plants"
A HERBALIST WOMAN
“The woman said all this calmly with longing in her eyes, and it was like the cry for the 25 years of hoping and dreaming about the happy future.
I followed up to her sadness and asked her which film depicts the incredible speed of the transience of life.
As if someone had whispered to her, she answered: “Gone with the Wind.”

CHARMS OF A WOMAN
On the shore of infinitely calm and spring clear sea
the reputable meeting was held.
In the shadow of three palms a huge oak table of oval
shape was placed. With its heaviness it simply sank
into hot sea sand, and its stability and impressive size
caused reverence while the members of the
congregation around it brought about admiration.
At such a beautiful place the wisest heads of this
society got together. In a word everything seemed
elevated.
On the table there were many papers and books with
lots of ideas, theories and wisdom.
Scientists, priests, philosophers, artists, politicians,
businessmen, novelists, mathematicians, physicists,
biologists, musicians, astronomers, astrologers, the
Indian clairvoyants, gurus and sportsmen al sat next
to each other.
Oh dear Lord what amazing miracle happened when
they had started presenting their theories, fiery
advocacy, justification and verification; air, sand and
the sea became satiated with such a quantity of
wisdom. It seemed at that moment that the birds in
the air, fish in the water and puppies on the sand
became enlightened.
The discussion became more and more fiery as the
number of competing theories increased.
The priests claimed that God had created the world,
the scientists talked about big explosion
and the
biologists supported the theory of evolution and the
philosophers claimed that the world had not been
created at any time or any place and that it also
wouldn’t not disappear at any time or any place. The
gurus stil meditated without a discussion.
The businessmen negotiated with the priests how
much it would cost that God created one world for
them. They would pay fair because money is not the
question. The astronomers and the astrologers
looked at the sky looking for true answers. The
novelists tried to convince the musicians that in the
beginning there was a word and the musicians were
convinced that in the beginning was just a sound. The
big guru could not remain silent. He supported a
musician claiming that the base of the entire universe
were the eternal OM or AUM, the sum of all sounds
produced in the universe. He wasn’t sure only
whether OM had been music or strengthening of the
universe.
On the other side of the table there was a bitter
debate between supporters of evolution, the
geneticists and the Indian clairvoyants.
A geneticist chose theory of evolution swearing in
genetic code. According to his opinion only amoeba
wil be created from another amoeba, an elephant
wil never be created from a hen and a man won’t be
created from a monkey. Every species has a strict
genetic code and things are clear about it. Conditions
of environment, nutrition and others can influence
that the hen becomes smal er or bigger , in different
colors and lengths of feathering but it will always be
just a
