[00:00.41]Prints on the Heart [00:03.24]When night unfurls its silent splendor, please take this book and read in the lamplight. [00:09.55]Each sensation will be heightened by the people, their stories and their feelings. [00:16.31]You may read the stories in soft voice, with meditation and comprehension. [00:21.43]The people, the stories and the feelings print your heart. [00:26.98]1.Back Home [00:30.57]A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. [00:34.28]The golden red sun was setting. [00:36.89]She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery ball. [00:40.59]She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. [00:47.23]She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. [00:53.11]The atmosphere relaxed her. [00:55.83]After all she had been through, this is what she needed. [00:59.43]“It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home, my parents will be wondering where I am.” [01:06.39]She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. [01:12.82]She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow 163, where she spent every summer holiday. [01:21.10]The road was deserted. [01:24.75]She walked slowly and silently. [01:27.15]Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. [01:32.27]It was really getting dark now, the sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. [01:39.45]She wished she had her favorite jumper on: it kept her really warm. [01:44.68]She imagined having it with her. [01:47.07]This thought dissipated when she finally saw her front door. [01:51.76]It seemed different. [01:55.24]Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. [01:58.84]She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... [02:06.35]It all seemed deserted. [02:10.22]She couldn’t understand what was going on. [02:13.59]She entered the house. [02:15.65]First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. [02:19.24]It said: “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready, I went looking.” [02:25.12]Ellen was her mother but — where was she? [02:30.67]On the right side of the hallway was her parents room. [02:34.27]She went in. Then she saw her. [02:37.48]Her mother, lying on the bed, sleeping. [02:41.62]Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. [02:47.61]She was really pale. [02:50.00]Jenny would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired to force her. [02:56.00]So Jenny just fell asleep beside her. [03:00.04]When Jennifer woke up something was different... [03:03.54]she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. [03:08.56]She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas. [03:11.74]It felt so good being back home. [03:15.81]Suddenly she heard a voice. [03:18.24]“Are you feeling better now, dear? [03:20.54]You know you got us very, very scared.”
