Thanks to  music from "Sacred Concert"("Духовний концерт") by Artem (Artemy) Vedel,Артем Ведель (1767,Kyiv,Ukraine -1808,Kyiv) , one of the most prominent Ukrainian composers of the 18th century. Together with Maksym Berezovsky and Dmytro Bortniansky, Vedel is recognized as one of the big three Ukrainian composers of the period.
Thanks to Gregor Kruk (also Greg Kruk,Григорій Крук) , born in Bratyshiv, Galicia, Ukraine, to a family of poor potters in 1911. When a principal in local school recognized the young talent, he helped Kruk attend a high school where arts and crafts were taught. After graduating, Kruk studied at the Lviv School of Decorative Art (1934) and apprenticed at a woodworking shop. Occasionally he visited the studio of sculptor Serhij Lytvynenko . In 1937 Kruk received a recommendation to attend the Academy of Art in Krakow, where he met famous professors Bohdan Lepkyj, Volodymyr Kubiyovych, I. Zilinsky and stage actor Julian Genyk Berezowsky. At the Academy Kruk also met young sculptor Mykhajlo Chereshniovskyj and art historian Bohdan Stebelskyj, among other Ukrainian students. Kruk studied in the studio of Polish professor Konstantij Laszczka, who noticed Kruk's talent. In 1940 Kruk moved to Berlin where he was accepted into the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied in the studios of professors Alfred Focke and Otto Hitzberger. After the war, Kruk settled in Munich and set up his studio close to the Ukrainian Free University (UFU). Kruk did a lot of commissioned works. He also sculpted figures of historical persons, peasants, monks, kozaks, bandura players, rabbis, working women and dancers.  As for the forms, instead of working in classical tradition of Greek and Roman antiquity, Kruk preferred Rubens like statues, executed in primitive patterns. Some of the female statues resemble pagan fertility goddesses and Stepovi Baby - prehistoric matriarchal stone statues found in the Ukraine steppe. In his works the artist often conveys pain, suffering and futility. He is not only known for his monumental and miniature bronzes and clay sculptures but also for his drawings and lithographs. A permanent collection of 160 bronzes by Kruk is on display at the Lechfeldmuseum, Königsbrunn, Germany. Gregor Kruk died in Munich in 1988.(From the the article  by Chrystia Stodilka-Curkowskyj).

Halyna Myroslava "From The Seed"
Галина Мирослава "З насінини"
--
семене семене
це неправда що світ починається з коріння
він з насінини починається
з сім'я 
семені
що не може вижити
не дбаючи про коріння своє
і нікого це не мине
ні мене ні тебе
поінколи
воно й на горло наступає плетучись
щоб ти в порошинку стиснувся
до такої міри
звідки вихід у простір інший
неминучий
