There is no right or wrong way to feel, following the loss of a friend or relative, through death or otherwise. You may think that you will grieve less or cope better with the lapse of time. However, you will for a long time, feel a mix of various emotions; sadness, anger, in some cases even guilt, depending on your level of affinity and connectivity.
Catch The Wind.
Lyrics: Written by Scottish musician, songwriter and record producer Donovan Phillips Leitch, known mononymously as Donovan.
Vocals: Scottish singer Donovan and American country music singer Crystal Gayle.
[Amazing harmony in this particular rendition]
Catch The Wind.
In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.
To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
When the sundown pales the sky,
I want to hide a while behind your smile,
And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find.
For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, t’would make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near to kill my fears,
For to help me to leave all my blues behind.
For standing in your heart,
Is where I want to be and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch,
I may as well try and catch,
I may as well try and catch the wind.
END

Today, Saturday January 27th the United Nations General Assembly designated this date January 27th; the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.
The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population.
The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas, in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland. Only a few Holocaust perpetrators faced criminal trials.
Sadly, at this present time here in Ireland and indeed world wide, we are witnessing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism. Indeed it is now more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history, as we commemorate, today, the victims and honour those who survived.
“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd. Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false.“ – Quotes by Bertrand Arthur William Russell, (British mathematician, philosopher and public intellectual).
If we want to live in a better world, we start now; by not discriminating against our fellow man any more.
