I think that something is not frivolous though, and see your spirituality. I would agree. Here that side is wanting. Kharkiv, where I am gets hit in a way that shocks one back into a reality that in many ways in facts feels anything but real. Ta Li!
Dark and surreal, yes. Commiserations my friend, we lost a very, very fine Swedish soldier recently, when I say we of course I mean all of us. He was truly a person who believed in extending his hand and fighting for what is right.
Thank you very much Kim...this Substack can be very annoying as you have written some lovely comments, but sometimes one cannot reply for some reasons.
This is a painful read feelings wise, the powerlessness of protecting what is loved. It seems that the rhetoric of the 60s and 70s was just that so far as NATO is concerned.
I can relate to what you say in my own demoralization. My way of dealing with it is escaping into something other than reality.

We live in a dark world.... if we only dared with the nuclear threat.

An unusual, powerful metaphor, Ain, which conveys your despair.

You mirror the hopelessness of the situation so compellingly in just 44 words.
"half a mast
of despair" is such a powerful expression, Ain!
It is really sad that emotions don't win wars otherwise Ukraine would have won long time ago.
Yes.....thanks for those lovely words..they do deserve to win, nice country: Kharkiv, where I am at the moment is a v nice city (in picture above).
You are welcome, Ain. Yes, it is a beautiful city and Ukraine will win.

Your despair is palpable, it's so sad and despicable that Ukraine is still suffering.
