2. INTRODUCTION
Romania, the land I stepped on since birth, is blessed
and more than half of my life I've followed the footsteps
of Eminescu, Enescu, Iorga, Luchian, Brancusi or Eliade.
Therefore, it is the land I fell in love, I laughed, I cried, I
suffered, I have forgiven, I dreamed, I hoped and I will
continue to do all these.
3. I enjoy the harmony of the landscape, the height of
the mountains, undulating lines of hills and plains
with people lost between.
I love the mountains lost in the clouds. Our
Carpathian Mountains. Few rocks over which I
stepped with respect and pride and especially all
those gems that I have discovered.
4. I appreciate our villages because they
fascinate through folklore, customs and
traditions which are still kept. I am grateful I
had the opportunity to live my childhood in a
picturesque village where all my ancestors
are buried.
5. We are one of the oldest civilizations of the European
territory. I admire the strength and will of Romanians to
cope with the vicissitudes of life, instead of giving up on it.
Romanians are so brave, not afraid to die for an idea or for
freedom.
6. I like the beauty of monasteries from
Bucovina, the Merry Cemetery of
Săpânța as well as the magnificent
castles, palaces such as Bran and
Peleș.
7. I love Romania for the graceful forms of
its borders that inspired our national poet,
Ana Blandiana, to compare it with a
picturesque bouquet of flowers tied to the
ribbon of the Danube Delta.
8. I also like Romania for the brave heroes of the nation who
have served their homeland with faith, for the sweet ancient
language, the Romanian language, which is one of the most
beautiful languages spoken in the world, for the forefathers
land about which Pope John Paul the 2nd said it is the
Blessed Mother’s garden, the most beautiful thing that could
be said about this land.
9. To conclude, I love Romania:
-because it's wonderful to wake up at dawn on the
beach, or on top of the mountain and feel with all
your soul a breath of 100% Romanian air.
-because it's wonderful to have roots somewhere in
this big, hurried world……….
and, last but not least, because I'm Romanian and
none of the Romanian spirit is unknown to me
