    “Here is the voice of my main Character in my Talon book series, I’ll let her introduce herself to you:
    My name is Matica and I am a special needs child with a growth disability. I am stuck in the body of a two year old, even though I am ten years old when my story begins in the first book of the Talon series, TALON, COME FLY WITH ME. Because of that disability, (I am saying ‘that’ disability, not ‘my’ disability because it’s a thing that happens to me, nothing more and because I am not accepting it as something bad. I can say that now after I learned to cope with it.) I was rejected by the local Indians as they couldn’t understand that that condition is not a sickness and so it can’t be really cured. It’s just a disorder of my body.
    But I never gave up on life and so I had lots of adventures roaming around the plateau where we live in Peru, South America, with my mother’s blessings. But after I made friends with my condors I named Tamo and Tima, everything changed. It changed for the good. I was finally loved. And I am the hero and I embrace my problem. In better words: I had embraced my problem before I made friends with my condors Tamo and Tima. I held onto it and I felt sorry for myself and cried a lot, wanting to run away or something worse. But did it help me? Did it become better? Did I grow taller? No, nothing of that helped me.
    I didn’t have those questions when I was still in my sorrow, but all these questions came to me later, after I was loved and was cherished. One day I looked up into the sky and saw the majestic condors flying in the air. Here and now, I made up my mind. I wanted to become friends with them. I believed if I could achieve that, all my sorrow and rejection would be over.
    And true enough, it was over. I was loved. I even became famous. And so, if you are in a situation, with whatever your problem is, find something you could rely on and stick to it, love that and do with that what you were meant to do. And I never run from conflicts.”

    “He had his eyes closed and
    rocked himself so much that everyone thought he would
    soon crash to the ground. And then it happened. He
    crashed to the ground. Surprised, he lay on the ground
    on his side, not sure what had happened, looking around.
    Next he jumped up and listened to Matica’s singing again,
    starting to rock himself once more. His eyes closed slowly,
    his beak opened. And then he crashed to the ground a second
    time. This time he kept lying down, spreading his free
    wing up into the air and waving it to the tune of the melody.
    Strange sounds came out of his beak. It was a grunt
    but more than a grunt, as if he was really enjoying himself,
    as if he would follow Matica’s words and would sing
    or hum as well.”

    to paths unseen and parts unknown
    in hopes people will enjoy
    this book of poetic words I've sown”

    “When you have to walk further, wherever it might be, I beg you, never to go alone anymore. I think that as a lesson for us all. I believe it was a warning. If Dad had been alone, he surely would have died.”

    “Be you, be yourself, be happy again. Don’t let life pass by you. Don’t look back, look into the bright future. The future is as bright as the promise of God.
    Smile – it’s the most beautiful attire.”

    “Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
    Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
    Walk beside me… just be my friend”
