I saw this raven on the parking lot of the secondary school today. It’s big, very black, beautiful and nonchalant. I wish I knew how to approach him.

The news today are overwhelming. Ukraine is under the biggest attack since 2022 for the second day in the row. There’s been a mass shooting in Moscow – I have a hard time sympathising, but neither do I gloat. I’m just wondering if it will spiral into a new level of violence. And those are not even top news. The top news are that Kate, the future queen of England, has cancer. No one’s talking about Ukraine, just one person said something about Moscow, a few mentioned Kate. The story of one sick woman, a mother, seems to be easier to relate to these days. I can understand that. There are too many people dying, too many things falling apart. I don’t believe people are heartless. They are just small, confused and scared that they too will fall apart.
