about

Words
There are many events I wish I remembered the dates when they took place, but they slip away so quickly and our memory is elusive. In this case, however, I do remember when I met Naro (Narine Minasyan) and saw her wonderful handmade dolls. On September 12, 2021 I was strolling the streets with no particular goal, and I came by a handcraft exhibition. There were many beautiful things around, but Naro’s dolls captured my attention. Silently, they kept talking to me... or was that Naro who was talking to me and to other people gathered around her place via her creations?
The whole universe I saw in their eyes!

Drawing
I tried different titles for this song, but then I remembered how Jorge Luis Borges and Paulo Coelho wrote about this phenomenon, and so the title became obvious. To illustrate it I chose the simplest graphic version of the Hebrew letter “aleph” I could draw.

lyrics

You go out to take your daily walk,
and, suddenly, you find someone to talk and share a smile...
You stay there for a while...
You look around – you clearly hear that charming sound!
It’s nowhere to be found but in your soul.
