The Weeping Song #Explore - a photo on Flickriver

So, I’m sort of back. To quit photography about half a year ago was much easier, than to return now. In September my computer remote job (about 16 years at one place, my place in fact, 2 of my places, to be precise, my longest one) ended suddenly, without warning and I became bicycle courier, delivering food. I like to ride a bike, snow or not. New, street life let me back as an altar boy, 53 (quit in the good old pandemic days and then, one thing after another, couldn’t make it back). Maybe you remember, how the Pope called our Patriarch “putin’s altar boy”. So, I’ve in a way rose to the Patriarch’s level. A little honor in that case. A bit funny though. Still consider the sense of humor as one of the most vital senses among 8 or 11 which we know for now. Could save life. Of course, I was afraid, that with such altar boys, as our Kirill, the whole Russian church became pro-war. It didn’t. A miracle, maybe. Enough about me for now. There are much more important things. Bad, mostly.
Today is 2 years of that shameful war and 9 days as Alexey Navalny was killed. Important day for the soul, as they say. People in Russia are sensitive to the dates. There are queues at registry offices in Russia (see, 24.02.2024, some people thought that it’s beautiful date for wedding).
So, it’s already 9 days as returned terrible feelings from the beginning of the war, dulled till those 2 years. Something utterly impossible happened. Didn’t thought that I could weep anymore. A big hole in the soul even now. It was too much for it, and I’ve got sick bodily. Which gave me time for this post. I didn’t know him personally, just once saw in person, many years ago, never talked to him. I know, that many Russians feel the same. And that’s why I’ve returned. To talk about all that. To do something.
That’s an old, pre-war photo. Couldn’t take new photos yet. Have plenty of old ones, though. Hope to continue soon. Want to introduce you more Russians. Want to talk to you more.
