Stretching across our world,
catching so many brave souls,
May we never forget those precious lives,
May we always celebrate their gentle spirits.

**********************************************

When the Cold War ended, the whole world celebrated. It truly was a victory for all of humanity. That is why it is so sad and disconcerting that we are seeing some of the old jealousies and rivalries flaring up in different parts of the world. The Cold War consumed an entire geneation across the planet and came within a day of ending human history in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stepping back from the current moves towards a new Cold War is the most important thing the world can do.

This post is taken from my Ebook Horizons which can be purchased on Etsy or from me directly. It is one of several pieces I created about the Cold War. We are not the Baby Boom generation. That is a term invented by corporations to sell products, and by governments to control people. We are the Cold War generation, whether you are from New York, or Moscow, or Brazil, or China, or anywhere in the world. And ending the Cold War without ending human history is our greatest accomplishment.

Paul Cezanne

The Blue Vase, one of the iconic vase paintings by French artist Paul Cezanne, an artist who has influenced all following generations.

I once owned a marvelous framed copy of this painting, a large print behind glass, which I carried around with me during some economically difficult times. I would look at it every day, just stand in front of it, and let it fill my spirit with some hope and beauty.

Eventually, life got better, I left it behind, for the next weary traveler! I hope it is still out there, inspiring someone the way it inspired me!
