Maggie (2003-2022)

Just after her 19-th birthday... 

RIP my love!!!

Maggie (2003-2022). Till we meet again!

Maggie lived a full, complete life. She got a litter of four, O'Malley, Dusty, Copperetta, and Mixie (the last two are still living, quite ancient themselves). In human years, Maggie definitely got to be more than 90 years old. In the last days of her life she was extremely weak and thin, yet carried on like a true and brave samurai! In the day prior to her passing, she gathered all her strength and will power, jumped over a tall window, got outside, and waited for us to come from school in the sunlight of a beautiful day. If Maggie would be a painting, I could not characterize her otherwise than a masterpiece.

Rilke moment

 

"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night." (Rainer Maria Rilke)

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple lead singer) about Putin's psychopatic ambitions

"If speaking out means we shall never see our Russian friends again, then that is a big sacrifice, but nothing compared with never again seeing our Ukrainian friends who are being killed to satisfy the psychopathic ambitions of the Russian leader. I would like to see Russians on the streets in their millions, to show their disgust at the Ukrainian invasion, and I'd like to dream that very quickly, Russia can find some modern leadership that will bring them back into the world as friends. We have so much in common."
