Greetings from Kyiv!

The night was calm.
I had a workout,
and now I’m having a warcoffee;
thinking my eyes need beauty.
Exhibition later.

How are you?

You seem to like when
I show you
something from Kyiv grocery stores.
I like showing it too.

After midnight in Kyiv,
the war forecast says it might stay calm.

I brought you
a piece of Ukrainian art tonight.

Meanwhile, no power at home.

Several districts in Kyiv
are without electricity
due to an emergency
in the city’s power system.

This week’s gratitude to my Patreon supporters –
a live walk in Kyiv.

To make timing easier for everyone (Australia & New Zealand too),
I’m testing two slots:
• Thursday 12 pm Kyiv time
• Saturday 5 pm Kyiv time (latest before closing)

Join when it suits you.
Fingers crossed the war stays silent.

Much respect to Vitaliy and all such volunteers🙏

Erich Meier @erichmeier.bsky.social · 22h

Very sad to see😥
It reminds me of a Mother who fled with her son Druzhkivka to Kramatorsk. Unsure how long she can stay there 😔

We all live under the same sky.
We all belong to the same Earth.

We built the borders
and forgot
that we still live under the same sky,
that we still belong to the same Earth.

Absolutely 💯 true!
I wish we could forget about borders and focus more on shaping our shared lives.

Most people everywhere have the same dreams: freedom, safety, a dignified life.

Greetings from a travel

there’s no random evil in r*zzia kidnapping local kids during invasions and occupations. it is a well-tested warfare playbook that the empire successfully deployed for generations.

This week’s Sunday Letter:

Key updates from Ukraine,
and the forgotten Ukrainian chapter of Franz Liszt’s life –
a love story between the composer and a woman from Podillia.

Erich Meier @erichmeier.bsky.social · 2d

As always it was interesting to read but this time it was a special joy to learn about this love story. Reminds me little of the story of Balzac.

I love the video of the beautiful paintings, peaceful scenes, and absolutely love the uplifting piano music.

Thank you!

Glad it's calm in Kyiv!
That's a beautiful painting of "tired" peonies.
Gentle colors and a tranquil atmosphere, very realistic style.

If I remember rightly Bokshai was a founder of the Carpathian art school, famous for his flowers and landscape paintings.

Enjoy your autumn city walk, Aida!
Smell of rain and leaves, I love it too!
