🇺🇦 Вчора Україна вшановувала всіх, чиє життя забрала Друга світова війна. Пам’ятаємо про цінність миру та перемоги, здобутої у 1939–1945 роках.

Україна вже четвертий рік чинить опір повномасштабній агресії. Тож тепер цю ціну кожен з нас відчуває особливо гостро. Ми дякуємо тим, хто захищав світ тоді, — і тим, хто боронить його зараз.

Am 80. #Jahrestag des #Kriegsende​s in Europa erinnern wir an einen Vortrag, der zum 50. Jahrestag gehalten wurde & der sich mit dem deutschen Umgang mit dem 8.5.1945, aber auch mit der 1995 „jüngsten Auseinandersetzung um das richtige Erinnern“ des Datums befasst:

"Perhaps it was more palatable to feel like I was losing him in installments; that I could say goodbye to each part as they left. Bye, legs; bye, feet; bye voice."

"I didn’t know the term 'obsessive-compulsive' then, but I certainly knew I was doing something deranged and embarrassing, so I tried to avoid being caught at my work. If I crept back to bed quietly enough, I wouldn’t have to explain to my parents the urgency of my nightly patrol, the necessity of gathering my temporary facts, the final ritual of reciting them to myself in the dark." —Miriam Fried for The Rumpus

"Death is A Door" for #doorsday

"Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call
Along the lintel are green leaves
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill
There is nothing to trouble any heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door.
In an old wall."
- Nancy Byrd Turner (1880-1971)

Cemeteries are incredible testaments to how much people love one another. Every brick laid, every statue carved, every flower left, is an act of love for someone who has slipped away into the next room.
Hugs and warm wishes to you all. ♥️🫂✨

A quotation from George Carlin

The wisest man I ever knew taught me something I never forgot. And although I never forgot it, I never quite memorized it either. So what I’m left with is the memory of having learned something very wise that I can’t quite remember.

George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian
Book (1997), Brain Droppings, “Short Takes (Part 1)”
