As one of the young Turkish writers Hakan Menguc said in the title of his meaningful book, “No Encounter is by Chance.”
So yesterday there was that kind of encounter for me, not with somebody I did not know, but with somebody I already knew. That yesterday “encounter,” over a couple of tasty no added sugar famous Leonidas chocolates and the same level espresso and cold water, brought to me, I am free to say, to both of us a feeling how souls connect without us realising it at first. As we were talking about our usual “current issues” topics somehow we got into the talk about encounters we both experienced at the unusual places. Then we started talking how this can happen, when let’s say, Nicos meets Joseph the native of one of the Amazon tribes Mayoruna and they realize that both of them have a common friend Mario in Las Vegas! Then they talk and find out that it is not Mario who is a first common friend, but Nigel the ex British pilot who was making night chopper tours around Holywood! This is how our talk started. Now it comes to my mind that I did not mentioned to my old friend with new encounter capabilities, the story of Demetris Dima Efthyvoulou, a Cypriot born in Kyrenia by Greek Cypriot Father and Russian Mother who has spent some years in Amazon Jungle from the side of Peru making photographs and sharing time with Shamans about which he wrote a beautiful book the “Spirits of the Rainforest-Aspects of the Hyper-Real.” Maybe we could find out even more how souls are getting in touch with souls. Just to add that this remarkable man Dima Efthyvoulou gave many lectures including The Theosophical Society, based in London.
So, my new encounter, old friend, started to mention his encounters with different people when he went to America to try to enroll in the architectural apprentice program established by Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and his last wife Olgivanna Lloyd Wright!
As, after exams and “inquisitorial interview” he was accepted he found out what are the rules of living in that hermetically closed group of different characters, but all unique in their own way. He even met Svetlana, the Stalin daughter who was also there for some time.
However as his emotions were awaking he concentrated on his experience with Mrs. Olgivanna Lloyd Wright and the circle around her and her daughter Iovanna( Jovana) informing me that she was a grand daughter of Marko Miljanov the head of Kuči tribe of Montenegro! This is where I got completely astonished! Namely Marko Miljanov was a best man, a man of honour in my great grandfather Novo Vučević, one of the two first artillery officers sent from Kuč tribe to nearby town of Nikšić to attend the artillery school established by Italians, and Gospava Nikezić my great grand mother, from my paternal mother side. Both of them were from the same village Bezjovo where the streets were divided by the family names. So Vučević, all Vučević family was living in one street and all Nikezić family in the next street. Easy to meet, easy to form a marriage where all descendants stay in the same tribe. We are talking about mid of XIX century.
Marko Miljanov the grand father of Olgivanna Lloyd Wright is the hero of humanity! It is the only man I know who defined what is to be brave and human!
He, Marko Miljanov, grand father of Olga Lazović ( Olga father was Jovan Lazović the first Chief Justice of Montenegro and mother Milica Miljanov the daughter of Marko Miljanov), said: TO BE BRAVE IS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM OTHERS AND TO BE HUMAN IS TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM YOURSELF!
If we practice the second, you understand that our world would be a paradise for all human beings!

That is how I “met” Olga, 48 years after her death, where my old friend and always new encounter was something like ceremony master, coordinating her funeral.
After that I started researching more about their first encounter that resulted in marriage of Olga and Frank when I found these Olga’s words: “…But providence come to help those that live for an ideal…. I was myself searching for an expression of life that placed the spirit above all else and it was then that we met, fell in love at first sight married and stayed together for life.”
It is the story that still goes on as Taliesin West still exists and it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can find more about it HERE!
My encounter with Olga Lazović – Olgivanna Lloyd Wright just started and will be continuing for a long time! She was my KUMA and KUMSTVO once done never stops as long as any descendants are alive. If we translate “Kumstvo na Venčanju” it would be Wedding God Father. It is when blood of the couple mixes with the blood of Wedding God Father.
So, “You see, there is never a limit. Nothing indicates that the thing could end so long as the principle, inviolate, is in motion.”
And that’s it as long as encounters are in motion and our souls are open and ready there is no limit! See you soon!
To be continued….
