“What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying, “What about a little something?” And Me saying, ‘Well, I shouldn’t mind a little something, should you, Piglet,’ and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing.” ~A.A.Milne

Anemones – A Spring Morning (1901) by Danish painter Peder Mørk Mønsted

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has just called to congratulate us on our victory.

Eighty one years ago (1945), the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany was liberated by the US Army. When the US forces arrived, they found 21,000 survivors, 1,000 of whom were children. Never forget. 🕯️

In Scandinavia, the birch tree is one of the foremost symbols of spring. Norse goddess Freyja was seen as the guardian of the birch tree. The birch tree is associated with romance and fertility, and birch branches are still used to decorate maypoles. 🎨 The Maiden of the Birch Tree (1912) by John Bauer

Dijo una vez Helen Mirren: “A mis años, no quiero volver atrás. Cada arruga, cada cicatriz, cada cana, es una historia que he vivido y que no cambiaría por nada. Este cuerpo ha sentido amor, ha superado dolores, ha reído y ha llorado. Estas manos han sostenido a quienes amo y han soltado a quienes debían irse. No tengo tiempo para celos, para dudas, para mendigar cariño. Quien quiere estar, se queda. Quien se va, que le vaya bien. Me visto como quiero, me peino si me da la gana, y camino con la certeza de que no tengo que demostrarle nada a nadie. A mis años, me celebro, me abrazo, me elijo. Sé quién soy y lo que valgo. Y eso, en este mundo, es la mayor libertad.”
