Tart threads of love

You can write a genealogical work endlessly – because life does not mark time, one generation is replaced by another. However, from time to time, the accumulated material becomes a story that, scattered over scraps of memories and old photographs, needs to be put together and preserved. For posterity and for yourself. And then the family tree comes to life and gives us a powerful vital force, like the one which we are able to obtain only in early childhood. In the system of psychological disciplines, it is called basic security…

The book is devoted to the study of a kin. More precisely, to those whose blood flows in the veins of the author - and this is a powerful branched root system. And, beyond doubt, this story is not limited to merely one kin. The representatives of kins described here are united in one large family tree, which allows us to trace the sometimes amazing mysticism of blood ties. And also, if we refer to specific examples, Narinsky is quite convincing showing the way family ties could help resolve the most important pressing issues – finding a life partner or your mission. In a word, our ancestors, whom we remember and whose names we keep, in turn, keep us – because no one can take them away from us, like that very inner, basic love.

Tart threads of love: Continued

This book, being an independent publication, logically continues the genealogical study started in the epic «Tart threads of Love. Family history in documents and memoirs.

The narrative is actually focused not so much on genealogical as family ties. Which mean so much to each of us throughout our lives. The families we were born into and the families we created ourselves - the connection between them is obvious, although not at all unambiguous. And at some point, each of us wants to look through the family crystal of time in order to discern the epoch and that tiny, but such an important root cause, the interweaving of feelings, will and circumstances that led to our birth. The emergence of a new universe…

The architecture of life: The law of random variables

This book is about another possible path of development that is not familiar to us. Namely, the story of not so much a media person, but of the one which is accomplished and creative at the same time. Not striving for world fame, but at the same time realizing his abilities and being demanded by the society. In the book, the author wanted to show how architecture, or, in other words, metaphysics, the conditioning of life consists of daily self-knowledge and overcoming, lights and fragments, signs and premonitions, mysticism and ordinariness. How sometimes a person finds support in random straws, but thanks to faith and determination, he turns accidents to his advantage and finds his own way.

The reader is offered to familiarize himself with the experience of the unpolished gloss of the living nature of life, which can become a support or auxiliary material for the architecture of our own destiny. Or – to give inspiration for a new story.
