A Shift in Presence: A documentary on the early days of the war in Ukraine showed a father and daughter falling asleep in one of the underground shelters. The lyrics to a kind of lullaby included: “Madness was transformed into tenderness. With every breath we drew closer together. That’s love’s indescribable tenderness. There’s nothing permanent in this world. But my love is eternal. “. The people of Ukraine have given us a powerful AND tender example of how to be present to each other in the midst of constant fear and disruption.
