Весна! В мечтах не надо торопиться!
Хорошее приходит постепенно!
Всё будет! Всё хорошее случится!
Природа возродится непременно!
Вдруг зазвенит ручей в лесу спросонок,
И запоют несдержанные птицы,
Вздохнёт Земля весной новорождённой,
Всё будет, всё хорошее случится.
Разбудит мир безудержное солнце,
Свой жар на этот сонный мир обрушит,
И выплеснутся тысячи эмоций,
Которые нас всех обезоружат.
Весна! В мечтах не надо торопиться!
Всё будет, пусть хоть этот снег растает.
Пусть всё само приходит постепенно,
И наши души снова расцветают!

Spring! In dreams, do not rush!
Good things come gradually!
Everything will be fine! All good things will happen!
Nature will certainly be reborn!
Suddenly a stream will ring in the forest in a daze,
And the unrestrained birds will sing,
The Earth will sigh in the newborn spring,
Everything will happen, all good things will happen.
The unrestrained sun will wake up the world,
He will bring down his heat on this sleepy world,
And thousands of emotions will spill out,
Which will disarm us all.
Spring! In dreams, do not rush!
Everything will be fine, even if this snow melts.
Let everything come by itself gradually,
And our souls blossom again!
It was all so disarming innocence around...over the aging grassland, the glacial moraine and the smiling peaks...I just stood stupefied...taken in Zanskar valley in Ladakh Himalayas, India
A Soviet-era monument symbolising friendship between Russia and Ukraine was dismantled in Kyiv on Tuesday, a response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to the city's mayor.
The statue depicted a Ukrainian and Russian worker on a plinth, holding aloft together a Soviet order of friendship. The statue was located underneath the 'People's Friendship Arch', erected in 1982 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Soviet Union.
"This monument... symbolised friendship between Ukrainian and Russian nations. We now see what this 'friendship' is - destruction of Ukrainian cities, ruining the lives of Ukrainians, killing tens of thousands of peaceful people. I am convinced such a monument has an entirely different meaning now," Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, launched on Feb. 24, has left thousands dead or injured, reduced towns and cities to rubble, and forced more than 5 million people to flee abroad.
Moscow calls its actions a "special operation" to disarm Ukraine and protect it from fascists.
Ukraine and the West call this a false pretext for an unprovoked war to seize territory in a move that has sparked fears of wider conflict in Europe unseen since World War Two.
As the monument began to fall, a crowd of people applauded, chanting, "Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to the nation Ukraine."

"Disarm"
by: Smashing Pumpkins
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
I remember as a child wanting to have a "permanent" smile on my face like one of the neighborhood girls did. You know what I am talking about?
The lucky kind of people that never seem to stop smiling even when their skies are gray. It's not that they are actually smiling all the time,
but their facial features make them seem that way....

C’è gente che ci passa la vita
che smania di ferire:
dov’è il tallone gridano dov’è il tallone,
quasi con metodo
sordi applicati caparbi.
Sapessero
che disarmato è il cuore
dove più la corazza è alta
tutta borchie e lastre, e come sotto
è tenero l’istrice.
Nelo Risi
Life is quite disarmed by the gift to live entirely in the present, to treasure every flower by the wayside and the light that plays on every passing moment.
Sant'Anna di Stazzena, 12 agosto 1944
76 anni fa, oggi, la ferocia nazifascista ha ucciso 560 uomini, donne, bambini. Civili disarmati , la vittima più giovane aveva 20 giorni.
Come accertato dalla Magistratura militare italiana non si tratto' di rappresaglia ( ovvero un crimine compiuto in risposta ad una determinata azione del nemico) ma di un atto terroristico premeditato e curato in ogni dettaglio per annientare la volontà della popolazione, soggiogandola grazie al terrore. L'obiettivo era di distruggere il paese e sterminare la popolazione
Verso Portovenere, Liguria, in un giorno di pioggia.
76 years ago.... Not to forget
Sant'Anna di Stazzena (Tuscany) massacre, a Nazi German war crime.
On 12 th August 1944 the Waffen - SS , with the help of the Brigate Nere, murdered 560 local villagers , including more than a hundred children, and burned their bodies
"Non va dimenticato che quanti sottovalutano la violenza, alla fine se ne rendono complici. Non vanno ignorati rigurgiti di intolleranza, di odio razziale, di fanatismo..."
Quirinale, Presidente Mattarella

Excerpt from barnquilttrails.ca/barns/norfolk-county/whirling-geese/:
On August 8, 1812, Major General Isaac Brock travelled to Culver’s Tavern in Norfolk to give a passionate speech to the reluctant recruits, appealing to their patriotism to the crown. With this speech, he attempted to disarm the enemy and to unite the loyal. His ringing words had the desired effect. The Norfolk militia turned out in great numbers and was highly praised by Brock.

La femme qui se nomme “Daniela” brille fort, parle avec les yeux et agit comme si la vie était une scène et toi un figurant à convaincre.
Elle te noie dans un regard avant de changer de sujet, juste pour tester ta résistance à la confusion amoureuse.
Si tu t’approches trop, tu risques d’y fondre… ou d’y nager à contre-courant.
Un vrai “colibri” félin … toujours en mouvement, légère, curieuse, touche-à-tout… mais avec la précision d’un chat qui sait retomber sur ses pattes quand tout le monde trébuche.
Elle se nourrit de compliments sucrés, d’attention sincère, et d’un peu de mystère quotidien … sinon, elle s’envole vers la prochaine fleur.
Daniela devine tes failles avant même que tu ouvres la bouche.
Elle sent quand tu mens, quand tu doutes, et surtout quand tu tombes sous le charme.
Autant dire qu’il est inutile de jouer au poker sentimental : elle a toujours deux cartes d’avance et un sourire d’ange en bonus.
Derrière la grâce et la répartie rapide, il y a une émotion gigantesque qu’elle cache avec maladresse.
Daniela rêve de connexion vraie, mais fuit à la première incohérence.
Si tu gagnes sa confiance, tu verras une tendresse bouleversante …mais encore faut-il passer le checkpoint de son regard malicieux.
Enfin, si un jour tu croises une jolie Daniela, ne cours pas : marche avec assurance, humour et un brin de poésie.😗
Et surtout… évite de lui dire qu’elle est “différente” : elle le sait déjà, et elle compte bien le prouver …😗
°°°°°°°°°°°
The woman named “Daniela” shines brightly, speaks with her eyes, and moves as if life were a stage and you a mere extra to be convinced.
She drowns you in a gaze before changing the subject—just to test your resistance to romantic confusion.
Get too close, and you might melt… or find yourself swimming against the current.
A true “feline hummingbird”… always in motion, light, curious, touching everything—yet with the grace of a cat that always lands on its feet when everyone else stumbles.
She feeds on sweet compliments, genuine attention, and a touch of daily mystery—otherwise, she flies off to the next flower.
Daniela senses your flaws before you even open your mouth.
She knows when you lie, when you hesitate, and especially when you fall under her charm.
In other words, it’s useless to play emotional poker—she’s always two cards ahead and wears an angelic smile as a bonus.
Behind her grace and quick wit lies a vast emotion she hides awkwardly.
Daniela dreams of a real connection, yet escapes at the first inconsistency.
If you earn her trust, you’ll discover a disarming tenderness—but first, you must pass the checkpoint of her mischievous gaze.
And finally, if one day you meet a lovely Daniela, don’t rush—walk with confidence, humor, and a touch of poetry. 😗
Above all, never tell her she’s “different”: she knows it already, and she fully intends to prove it…😗

Indeed, the “eternal mystery of our being” is revealed to us by the relationship with the person we love. Nothing reawakens us, nothing makes us so aware of the desire for happiness that constitutes us, as the person we love. The presence of the beloved is so great a good that it makes us grasp the depth and the true dimension of this desire: infinity.

The heart is oftentimes asleep, buried beneath a thousand pieces of debris, a thousand distractions, but then it is reawakened and provoked to make a recognition: it exists; the heart exists; your heart exists. You have a friend; you find, on the street, a friend for life when this happens to you with him, when you find yourself in front of one who reawakens you to yourself. This is a friend—all of the rest leaves no trace.

Sometimes you sink
you fall into your well of silence,
in your abyss of proud anger,
and you can hardly go back,
still with shreds of what you found
in the depth of your existence.
My love, what do you find in your closed well?
algae, bogs, rocks?
what do you see with blind eyes, rancorous and wounded?
my life, you will not find in the well in which you fall
what I keep for you in the height:
a bouquet of dewy jasmine,
a kiss deeper than your abyss.
Do not fear me, do not fall into your grudge again.
shake my word that came to hurt you
and let her fly through the open window.
she will hurt me again without you directing her
since she was loaded with a hard instant
and that instant will be disarmed in my chest.
Smile radiantly at me if my mouth hurts you.
i'm not a sweet shepherd like in fairy tales,
but a good woodcutter who shares with you
earth, wind and thorns of the mountains.
Love me, smile at me, help me to be good.
don't hurt me, it will be useless,
don't hurt me because you hurt yourself.

Elephant duels were a historical martial practice where opposing army leaders engaged each other on the battlefield in single combat on the back of war elephants. They are documented in historical records from Southeast Asia, mainly in present-day Cambodia from the 11th Centuries and Burma and Thailand from the 13th to 16th centuries.
Wikipedia
In order to avoid an immensely destructive battle, the two opposing parties could negotiate a duel between two figures of equal rank, each mounted on his heavily armed war elephant (along with one or more bodyguard behind the warrior and a mahout in front to guide the animal). At the agreed moment, these two would rush forward and attempt to disarm, wound, kill or unseat each other. It was understood that the outcome would settle the entire battle once and for all.

Tre giornalisti italiani bloccati da due settimane in Ucraina, con l'accusa di essere 'spie' e collaborazionisti Russi.
Andrea Sceresini, Alfredo Bosco e Salvatore Garzillo ( che fanno parte di varie testate come l'Ansa, Mediaset, Rai 3, Rainews, per citarne solo alcune ) stavano facendo il loro lavoro, come già nel 2014, cercando di riportare le notizie in modo indipendente ed equilibrato .
La loro legale Alessandra Ballerini, che difende anche la famiglia Regeni, ha lanciato un appello, chiedendo al Ministero degli affari esteri, a autorità internazionali e alle rappresentanze di giornalisti di denunciare quanto sta accadendo e di proclamare il diritto di una cronaca libera e il rispetto delle regole.
Forse tra i capi di imputazione ci sarà anche quello di aver parlato del giornalista Andrea Rochelli, ucciso in Ucraina nel 2014, e di aver tentato di svelare bugie e depistaggi.
Rochelli fu ucciso dal piombo ucraino mentre stava facendo il proprio lavoro : si è appurato che il comandante M. Zabrods'kyj diede l'ordine di sparare sui giornalisti, vestiti con abiti civili e naturalmente disarmati.
Chissà se il nostro presidente, nell 'abbraccio che sicuramente ci sarà, osera' sussurrare qualcosa a proposito nell'orecchio di Zelensky.
È questa la democrazia per cui ci stiamo battendo?

un uomo, se possiede la vera sapienza, sa godere dell’intero spettacolo del mondo da una sedia, senza saper leggere, senza parlare con nessuno, solo con l’uso dei sensi e con l’anima che non sappia essere triste.

oppure, a scelta, a seconda del proprio stato d'animo:
--
non c'è bisogno di essere una stanza per sentirsi infestati dai fantasmi, non c'è bisogno di essere una casa.
la mente ha corridoi molto più vasti di uno spazio materiale ed è assai più sicuro un incontro a mezzanotte con un fantasma esterno piuttosto che incontrare disarmati il proprio io in un posto desolato.

now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he'll be satisfied
is when he's all a-drunk
Waves of protest at the pain
The innocent punished, again and again
As they struggle to reach the light
Escape the terrors of the night
Where in the darkness, no one answered the call
To disarm the clouds, and make no pain fall
Where eyes go blind and refuse to see
Hope imprisoned, no longer free
Causing waves of protest at the pain
Of innocent punished, again and again
To help their struggle to reach the light
Where they will escape the terrors of the right
Quattro punti fondamentali: 1) centralità della persona , inviolabile nei suoi diritti, ma titolare anche di doveri. 2) Il Bene comune da perseguire e realizzazione dovunque sulla terra. 3) Il fondamento morale della politica . 4) La forza della ragione e il faro della fede.
Poi anche il disarmo e relazioni tra i popoli basate sul dialogo e negoziati, non su rapporti di forza..
