Luszi or an insignificant dot on a piece of paper
I remember it was a few years ago when I met Luszi for the first time. Even at first sight she seemed to me like a person I had known for a long time. She resembled Amélie played by Audrey Tautou. She was a short girl with her tiny-shiny beady eyes always downcast. Her modest clothing represented her like a little grey sparrow, like an insignificant little point same as other high school girls. She timidly brought her drawings out of her drawing portfolio. Come on...they are insignificant...-she said, and she was as embarrassed as a teenager in love who is asked to read her poems. As the papers slided on the table the tick of the clock on the wall stopped for a moment. Luszi the little grey sparrow rolled over her head took her wings out and she stood in front of me like a luminous angel. She has been meandering between humans for centuries by keeping her great secret guarded, the secret that she would never become old. She can only open herself in her drawings and in her soul she is the callous-faced story-teller gypsy woman who tells her stories about shamans and Mongolian nomadic tribes hunting with falcons. She makes the magicians, the gypsy musicians, the Hungarian Betyár and his love, the Matyó girl of the past alive. The drawings of Luszi are available on her site: http://www.lukacsszilvia.blogspot.com/
