Konstantin Samson's Personal Message

where the endless blue of the sky, meets the endless blue of the sea

there I stood for a while to hear the words of the wind,

there I stood for a while to hear the words of the waves

there I heard the sound of soul , dictating me notes

magic notes that the one succeeded the other, composing a wonderful music

notes of sentiment, notes of feeling, notes of delight, notes of sorrow

like the notes that compose our life
