One year of war
With heavy hearts and eyes full of tears, we mourn today for all the children, women and men who were the victims of war.
Robbed of their lives, their integrity, their happiness, their freedom, their home.
Mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers cry for their children, their relatives, their friends and neighbours.
On both sides.
For this one moment today, we bow our heads. Remain in mourning.
Then we stand like a wall again, helping, supporting, protecting and organising wherever we can.
Sometimes just with your heart in your hand.
If we could do as we pleased, we would be sitting at the same table with all the mothers in the world today. We would be sure that they don't want war.
Not in Ukraine, not in Russia, not in Syria. Nowhere in the world.
The animals would also sit at this table.
