E-book premiere

'Why haven't I met grandma when she was young?'

by Beata Mordawska

29.01.2022

I believe in a golden thread of connection between generations - the eldest and the youngest family members. Despite the natural discrepancies and differences caused by age and time, the curiosity and widened understanding of people living close can fill any existing generation gap, and prove it's just a journey this life we experience.

The Hidden Treasures

On the website, I described the photos and artifacts of Ritta. Recently, a notebook from the time I was 10 appeared, signed as 'Dinosaurs, Beata Mordawska, class IIIa'. Apart from Yogi and Boo Boo bears on the cover and four pages of notes, it was almost empty.

 

Page 1: Notebook, Thursday 17.03.94, I am coming back home at 11.30h

(but from where?). There's a drawing of a village house over a small pond.

 

Page 2: 1.04 Dear Grandma, I wish you a happy Easter, delicious egg, and happiness of meeting us. 

 

Pages 3 & 4: Contain various drawings that looked like chairs, boxes and constructions.

 

So where the dinosaurs left - the idea of them became extinct? 

I wouldn't want that for my dear grandma to happen, therefore all memories of Ritta were well established and confirmed with mom, aunt, sisters and cousins.

 

Ritta's e-book has been created for the closest ones. Since the family is a connection of the soul, not the blood only, translating it to English and Portuguese seemed a must. To me, this book belongs somewhere to the generation gap. You may let me know how you feel about it.

The Land of Kashubia

Ritta came from Kashubia, beautiful land full of lakes and forests in the North of Poland.

 

Kashubian art is very holistic - branches of the tree of life cannot cross, as it was believed life needs to be simple.
