Dealing with the anguish of the war in Ukraine. An extended relative of mine, Tatiana (my cousin Victor's daughter-in-law's brother's wife) sent this most inspiring essay from western Ukraine. She left Kyiv, Ukraine with her 6-month-old son Glib to get away from the rockets and mortars. She left with my cousin Victor and settled with the Kubik family in Dubno in western Ukraine. She writes this moving piece about her feelings about the war. What an amazing spirit!!
William May died on January 1, 2022. What sad news! Over more than three years he sent me nearly 20 poems that always lifted my spirits and with their tone they optimistically evoked God's presence and optimistically kindled my hope. You can read all of William May's poems at:
