penned in moon dust

“You must come with me now.” The large man said with a deep accent.

I saw my husband consider his options then he put his hands up with resignation.

“Wise choice for you.” He ushered us toward a dark street and a car that was waiting.

I was considering if this guy was mafia, military, … none was a good option.

When we got in the car, he got behind the wheel and locked the doors.

“We have someone who needs to see you…”

My husband remained quiet and I followed his lead and squeezed his hand.

I know we drove out of Odessa, but I couldn’t tell you which direction. Then the car stopped at an old barn.

“Get out quickly we do not know what eyes are in the sky.”

I looked up at the sky and wondered if this was the last sky I would see.

Review: Las Puertas del Mal, and Health Care

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

A very interesting book from a fascinating series. This one really pointed up, in a medieval sort of way, the importance of mental health care for children who’ve undergone trauma at an early age. Yet the book, like the Harry Potter books, only more medieval European, is entertaining and uplifting, mostly.

Las Puertas del Mal by Núria Masot
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Intelligent (but possibly codependent) women able to face danger, oddly dressed polyglotts who inspire fear but actually protect, PTSD shown, not told, wounded veterans reminding each other who they were and remain over the years, the seeds of hatred and the power of loyalty, even between different communities.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Que tivesse a beleza das flores

quase srm perfume

A pureza da chama em que se consome os diamantes mais límpidos

A paixão dos suicidas que se matam sem explicação

Die stolzen Krieger der Terrakotta-Armee

Senioren um die Welt

Eine der beeindruckendsten Weltkulturerbestätten in China, die weltberühmte Terrakotta-Armee, liegt rund 30 Kilometer östlich von Xi’an, dem Ausgangspunkt der alten Seidenstraße, entfernt. Die Grabanlage wurde erst 1974 durch Zufall entdeckt, als Bauern bei Brunnenbohrarbeiten auf die Grabanlage stießen und die ersten Tonstücke in vier Meter Tiefe fanden. Sehr schnell verbreitete sich die Nachricht von diesem außergewöhnlichen Fund in ganz China. Schon einige Monate nach der Entdeckung begannen archäologische Gruppen mit den Ausgrabungen und brachten nach und nach eine Terrakotta-Armee aus lebensgroßen Soldaten zutage.
