Bleeding Like the Stars

A collection of stories by means of which the reader discovers the teachings of the elements: fire, water, air, wood The book is a guide through the unheard answers offered by all creation daily and urges one's imagination to recreate the old scenery of story telling around a fire when the universal themes of love, solitude, perseverance, aloneness, and courage were tackled by means of parables and fables. Therefore, each story becomes a metaphor of the human weakness and strength and of all the qualities and struggles in between the two. "Life happens as it should happen, with or without us witnessing or acknowledging it. Just like a star shining brightly or bleeding its last light in its falling: it lives and falls regardless of our degree of participation to the events of its life or imminent fall. Oh, but it would be so much fun if we were completely present into every second of this wonderful show of which each of us can become a protagonist " - the author, Irina Serban
