There is a card in my deck that features an image of a Sunflower called Support. Thank you for your beautiful writing about your experience in the Ukraine.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have read about the Ukraine. I, like you, am finding it difficult to go through my days knowing that bombs are being dropped on cities. There are no words for the horror I feel. Sometimes the only redemption I find is in artistry. Artistry exorcises horror. It is in the artistry of your words, and that beautiful skater that I find some redemption.
Beautifully written Susanna. It is so sad to watch what is happening in Ukraine and Zelensky stay brave and strong and lest we forget the massacre that happened at Baba Yar during the Holocaust and perhaps this is also on Zelenesky's mind. My heart goes out to the Innocent killed in Ukraine especially the children.
I loved your story and commentary about going to Odessa. The video walk is interesting. So peaceful then, a lovely summer afternoon, everyone out strolling. And, those certainly are impressive steps!
Driving To Odesa On a Very Warm September Day
A poignant essay, deeply moving, thank you for conveying the simply beauty of our connection to our human family,
Susan
I can't even describe what I feel after reading this piece. If there's one word for both sorrow and beauty I wish I knew what it was.
Thanks for sharing your memorable time in Ukraine. So vivid, so touching, so true that we are all connected.

Stunning writing. The beauty you convey contrasted with the destruction taking place now is heartbreaking.
