Thank you, Kara.
My favorite song this season is something I came across on youtube.
Somehow it does my heart/spirit good knowing that Soviet people my age grew up with this, illustrating that people all over the world pretty much all want the same thing. (Or at least we did, once upon a time.)

Just took a listen… lovely sentiment, indeed. Thanks for sharing. I still believe we all just want to live our lives in peace… but for now, so many in our country and abroad have been convinced that their suffering can only be eased by making others suffer. Obviously, it’s not a sustainable way of thinking. The only response to this that I can land on is to try to have and share more love and compassion for everyone. (Try being the operative word…)
