Celebrating life
I know it’s just the beginning of November, but, in my family, we cannot wait to be done with 2025, to put in the past a year dominated by illness and death, and too much heartache. Life and death. Some

The power of a good curse
I recently heard a story about a little girl who’d express her indignation at having her hair braided every morning by mumbling incomprehensible words. Took her mother a while to figure out the kid was

Know thyself or others will know you
The ancients knew the importance of self-knowledge. Some 2,500 years ago, the phrase “Know thyself” was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, ancient Greece. Sadly, humans have not spent millennia

Slipping away piece by piece
One of the last texts he sent me a few months ago read “miss you girl”. I smiled as I am long past my girly days, but in the palaces of his mind I was still the 20 something girl that once loved him. I

The curse of Babel
How do you feel when you find yourself in a country where you don’t understand the language? I hate it. Surrounded by signs I cannot make out and people whose conversations make no sense, I tend to feel

A gift from beyond
A skeptic by definition, I don’t really believe our dearly departed smile upon us and help us with our everyday problems, like finding the damn car keys. Would be quite odd since I don’t have a car. Yet,

How do you deal with bored people?
I confess - this past week I came dangerously close to being bored. A terrible sin in my book. In my defense, I will plead extenuating circumstances as I was stuck in a Romanian beach resort that didn’t

Cold Turkey
Today I spent a rather long tram ride staring out the window. At nothing in particular, just a drab neighborhood that hasn’t changed much in decades. Just so I wouldn’t be on the phone, scrolling through

If there is hope
It lies with the proles. This is one of the most memorable quotes from "1984". It may well be that Winston is deluded when he says that, but, at this point, I don’t see other hope for my country

The Shepherd who abandoned his flock
Pope Francis’ time as head of the Catholic Church can be summed up in one image. Easter Vigil 2020 in a ghostly Saint Peter’s Square where no Christian was allowed to set foot. His flock, millions of

The Spotlight
The waiting is killing me, thinks the old man. A dry cackle is forming in his throat, but it wouldn’t do to let it out. What would all the people in the main room think? To distract himself from the

Mary crying at the foot of the Cross
Last Christmas, a niece invited us to hear her singing carols with her church choir. Latin, Romanian and a few English carols, among which one I found very intriguing - ‘Mary Did You Know?’ The song goes

Every acorn has its destiny?

PresidentBot
I was considering something like President TinMan, but Grok came up with PresidentBot and I promised it would get full credit for that. Gotta be nice to the new rulers if you know what’s good for you 🙂

Shock, dismay, disbelief and lots of impotent rage. That seems to be the mood today among European globalist leaders following bombshell news that Trump and Putin are already talking about ending the war
