FROM THE AUTHOR (written under pressure from the publisher and therefore this “from” cannot be evidence against the author) The reader wants to know: “What is this book about?” About a variety of things: from teddy bears, removal of wisdom teeth and accidents to the divine revelations, reincarnations and the most ordinary hallucinations. About chilled cognac and fried lemon. About conversations with the dead. And about a variety of living people. And almost all of them are our contemporaries, who perfectly know the decoding of the NLP abbreviation, are well versed in IT technologies, jeeps, Italian furniture, real estate prices and the psychology of relationships. But those who have forgotten how not only to love, but also to believe. Believe in yourself. Because they have long forgotten who they really are. Warriors or restaurant owners? Angels or daughters of pharaohs? Big middle-aged devils or eternal little girls? Witches or just good people? Businessmen or fathers? Lost souls? Found bodies?..What else? About friendship. About the fact that it is often better to say stupid things than to remain silent. And keep your nose to the wind, and not close your eyes when faced with the obvious. About other people's children, one's own animals and nobody's entities. And that there is no time. There is space. The main thing is to find your place in it. And then every chicken will become a Phoenix bird...
