Incredible human tragedies and true catastrophes follow from the Russian Conquest War on Ukraine, that has started in 2022.
I want to bring some of these tragedies to public attention in the spirit of healing, asking how can be help to heal some wounds of what has happened and what – alas – continues to happen, as of this writing in June 2023.
Publishing these tragedies helps me to stay more compassionate, as I get a sense that someone else may share my feelings out there and that my publishing helps to honor the suffering of those involved in such catastrophes. If we can somehow tell them – We see you, you are not alone, justice is possible.
Showing the wounds also has messages about our human condition – how we are able to meet extreme situations – how we can observe what is alive in us, when we meet the ultimate frontier of death, how death can help us to remember our vulnerability and the preciousness of life. Again and again some of the people acting in these stories show deep bravery, fearlessness and compassion.
