We need flowers for the same reason we need poems, or paintings, or songs—because what we can feel will always be vaster and more complex than what we can name, because words will always break under the weight of the immensities we task them with carrying https://t.co/Nxhrj3reJl
This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.
Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.
His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.
Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.
Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.
They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.
Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.
Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.
May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.
Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.

Kids in Kyiv start their school day in a bomb shelter as Russian drones attack. Meanwhile, Russians keep wondering where all this “Russophobia” is coming from.
Ik ben bij @Defensie 🪖 gegaan omdat ik bereid was te vechten voor de Nederlandse vlag 🇳🇱 en namens #Nederland bij te dragen aan een betere wereld – in de breedste zin van het woord.
Dat daar risico’s aan verbonden zijn, is een gegeven. Net zoals je een ongeluk kunt krijgen in het verkeer of bij het werken met zware machines, hoort gevaar bij het vak. Maar de term #sneuvelbereidheid vind ik misplaatst en ongepast. Niemand wil sneuvelen; we zijn #gevechtsbereid – klaar om te vechten als het moet. Laten we het dus ook zo noemen.
We highlight the book, Integral Psychology: Consciousness, Spiral Psychology, Therapy by Ken Wilber.
This book integrates psychology, spirituality and philosophy into a unified model that addresses the complexities of human experience.

Neem even 10 minuten de tijd om te horen wat Ramsey Nasr zei bij #barlaat
“We leven in een klimaat waarin over omvolking wordt gesproken alsof het niets is terwijl het een Nazi-term is”
In 1992, Annette Herfken was convinced by her partner of 13 years to accompany him on a romantic getaway, a decision he could never have imagined would end in tragedy.
Merely fifty minutes into their flight to Vietnam, the plane crashed into a mountainous area. Annette awoke to darkness, surrounded by the sounds of panic and distress.
Trapped under the weight of a deceased passenger still buckled into his seat, the chaotic and noisy aftermath of the crash eventually gave way to an eerie silence as she realized she was the sole survivor.
She was left alone with decomposing bodies until the 8th day when rescuers came, before then she battled the thoughts of cannibalizing the bodies around her to survive.
I have rarely felt more ashamed of my country, both government and opposition, not just for tolerating but for actively enabling this daily mass-murder of terrified, trapped, unarmed civilians, shot down in cold blood because our politicians are either massively ignorant or actively hostile to the Palestinians and their cause. Shame on you @RishiSunak, @Keir_Starmer, @grantshapps & the rest of you who have so badly lost your moral bearings.
"What happened before can happen again". Everyone must stand together to prevent another Holocaust from ever happening again.

Zag net toevallig dat de Vlaamse docu #Godvergeten op NPO2 is. Aflevering 2 al. Over seksueel misbruik in de katholieke kerk en wat er allemaal werd gedaan om het in de doofpot te houden. Zowat heel België was in shock toen deze docu werd uitgezonden.
