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 · 15h

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
Glad the night was calm.
Never boring! Always good to know life is going.

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!

You can order this puzzle, just ask Aida!

Wooden puzzles depicting the painting "My thoughts, my thoughts"
The puzzles are shaped like Ukrainian symbols

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!

Beautiful old houses! They look like pure joy of life and a loving home.

I fell in love with those houses when I found and then bought a book about Old Khatas.

Beautiful bookstore. It's good to hear how life really is, how you deal with the challenges.

Walk to Independence Square was impressive, beautiful Kyiv. It was sad to see so many flags, very emotional, but important to see the truth.

Love this walks or talks with you.

Erich Meier @erichmeier.bsky.social · 3d

Grateful it has been almost calm in Kyiv (but not in other regions 😔)

Hope you found rest this night. And glad power and water is back🙏

Yes, we never should take our comfortable life for granted, we all should be aware of what we could lose. And we all should help those who are not that lucky 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
