Mission: Light Ukraine

“Why are you going to a warzone?”
Each circumstance embodies more than one perspective. To pass through the border between fear or self-pity to a place of enduring acceptance is the lure and lust of traveling into zones of fear. My friends or experts say “don’t go” “you’ll be shot or killed or kidnapped or raped” I’m not denying that those truths exist, however, the idea of other truths,… which claim a new narrative of resilience, compassion, and hope is a reverent truth each time I cross borders.  The most remarkable people with souls of angels and hearts of giants are the exquisite treasures unearthed and cherished.
