It’s so moving to see flowers left at these old grave stones. The sense of antiquity and silence is profound. And it’s amazing how only seven words can say so much. Wonderful, as always, Xenia. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Mike. It is deeply moving to see the flowers and how often these graves are visited. It feels as if at some level, the spirits can feel this affection too 💛

A lovely tribute xenia – how touching that the war dead are still remembered. Do you suppose if women ruled the world we would still have wars? I like to think not.

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Tina, it is deeply moving to see and after visiting here before, we too keep returning here to reflect on the enormity of it all. I agree with you and believe the world would be more peaceful and cohesive if women were in charge 💫💜💫
