   On the open shore among weather-beaten shrubs, feeble grass growths and low crooked trunks of "dancing birch-trees" here and there you can see smooth stones. At first the piles seem chaotic and shapeless but the longer you look at them, the sooner you discover they make sense.
   From where, by whom and when were these "notes" sent from the Past? They look like spiral labyrinths and their neighbours are stone hills. Are they cultic sanctuaries of primeval northerners? Are they attributes of religious burial rites? Or are they visual "maps" for fishermen, building fishing trap-nets for the sea? Probably, it's a coded "letter" about the vicissitudes of human fates.
