I am sad. Sad because “Love Is In Da Blog 22” is over but also that in this month of love the opposite is happening.

I was wondering for a long time what Putin was really up to. I know now. But I have also started to wonder if this war on Ukraine might be his last hurray. It doesn’t look to me like the Russian population is behind him in this. I also feel that he might have underestimated the Ukrainian people and their heroic resistance. Man, are they courageous. He also might have underestimated how fast the West can unite if the spectre of the UDSSR and nuclear war pops up.

You know I am not a fan of war. Well, no one is, I guess. But I am a fan of democracy and of people living together in peace. And I realised in recent days that I would physically fight for that. Its confusing because my stand on war is this poem:

IF YOU DO NOT WANT WAR…

Dedicated to Wolfgang Borchert & Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t think war

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t talk war

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t teach war

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t allow war games

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t allow war toys

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t produce war games

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t produce weapons

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t train soldiers

If you do NOT want war ~ don’t solve conflicts with war

If you do NOT want war ~ do not do war!

But do you really not want WAR?

That gives a lot to think.

And what’s the reminder? Well, it’s the last of the month and I remind you to check your breast for lumps and most of all: if you find anything please go and have it checked out. It probably is nothing but if it is: the earlier it is found the better the healing chances and less invasive treatment. That goes also for all other sorts of cancer. So, please, if any lump anywhere in your body worries you have it checked out 😍

And just to remind you here are the suggestions on how to take part and all prompts:
