In today’s post, I won’t focus on refugees. They proved many times that it is possible to escape from war physically.
I wrote this text on the 3rd of April, 2022. I must admit that I did not know what I wanted to write. News from worldwide is bombarding me with information about the war in Ukraine. It does not surprise me. The most significant conflict in Europe since the Second World War and the most prominent European humanitarian crisis connected with refugees’ migration is something that must be discussed and described. Still, I consider myself a peaceful, artistic soul who wants to develop creative passion and inspire other humans. I do not want to write about war.
Still, I have a debt to all the Ukrainians to write about war. They became a role model for me regarding protecting their land.
It is pretty tricky for me to read and analyze Taschen’s books about great artists when I know that people across the border are being killed by the fucking Putin’s regime. I seek relief in music. Music can remind me that there is hope for each human. Why do I seek relief? After all, it is not me who is bombarded by the Russian army. I do it because I am convinced that all people want both physical and mental escape from the grey reality that surrounds all of us.
I know that, paradoxically, I find my inner peace by walking in Warsaw’s streets, doing street photography, and contemplating practically all aspects of human existence.
Last but not least, I find inner peace when I am near my beloved Kamilka, my lovely parents, and my friends. I think it is impossible to escape from war. Especially when one knows that horrible things are happening to one’s neighbor. Ok, I will finish writing. I will donate funds to Ukrainian refugees and go to sleep.
