Enjoying summer’s pleasures, yet thinking of Ukraine
To me, the first signs of summer is when fresh corn become widely available and on sale. These first corn of the season cost only 33 cents (Canadian) each -- that is USD 26 cents; GBP 21 pence; CHF 26 cents; EUR 25 cents.
I bought 6 for under CAD $2. Yet as I was enjoying them, I could not help but feel "guilty" about the pleasures when millions of people have been displaced from their homes and homeland, their houses destroyed; their livelihoods in disarray. And those are the "lucky" ones, the unlucky ones their bodies rotting in the field in the war zone.
