After reading about the political unrest in Kyiv and Ukraine right now I decided to focus this weeks post on people in Ukraine and not places. I recently read the following quote by C. S. Lewis that really put things into proper perspective for me. After having just celebrated Thanksgiving in America I know that people are the most important part of
my life. So here is the quote and my some of my favorite faces from Ukraine.
"It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all love, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, art, civilizations--these are mortal, and their life is to ours a the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. "
