"Pearls of Koh Phangan" is a bilingual (English and Russian) meditative collection of 100 simple, but deep thoughts imbedded into ambient, reflective and beautiful photographs on Life, Love and Light. This book is your silent friend. You can open it to any page, read one thought, contemplate on it, live with it for a while and come back. Don't hurry. The book will listen to you, your thoughts and feelings. It may help you on your long road called "Life"...Author's note: There are islands on the Earth. There are many islands, but fewer than people on the planet. Islands are romantic or romantically represented in poems, songs and movies. Some people own islands.Some are born there. The majority only dream of them. "Island" is "I is land". The land of dreams. The land of beauty. The land of peace. The land of kindness. The land of magic. The land of fairy-tales. The land of happiness. The land of eternal childhood. The land of Life, Love and Light. Editors' notes: Clea Alexandra Schmidt:When I was a girl I spent summers growing up on Mustang Island in the Gulf of Mexico. The waves of the ocean hammering the shore were at once calming and energizing, and offered a salient reminder that a solitary path, whether along the beach or at various points in life, does not have to be a lonely one. I am grateful for Larisa's enduring friendship, her profound artistry, and her gentleness and generosity that facilitated my part in the creation of this amazing book. Larisa has been as much my teacher as I ever was hers.Ruta Skapinskaite:I thank Larisa for being a true friend and inviting me to collaborate on this wonderful book. As an editor, I first merge with the text and only then my "work" begins. This book brought me to the world of mature wisdom that grew from the author's incredible ability to feel, think critically and realize that the path of nature is the only authentic one to follow to become content, in-tuned with oneself and the world. Nature dwells in this book, in its words and images. When I open it, I feel like I am putting on an oxygen mask, and then it gets easier to breathe. The book has at least two dimensions: textual and visual, which are interconnected in a symbolic way.
