Sadly appropriate.
Grew up mostly outdoors in the woods or the beach.
Needing some mellowness today, so Cat jumped to mind. Happy Friday, everyone. Hope you can get out and play some this weekend…
Around 20 years ago, the TV show That's Life sprung a surprise on Nicholas Winton. A 60 minute documentary recently delved deeper into his story, and interviewed him at the age of 104. His story is remarkable in three ways: 1. He helped 669 Czechoslovakian children escape Prague by train as Hitler moved in in 1938. 2. The 669 children had children of their own, and their children had children. At last count, 15,000 people owe their lives to Nicholas Winton. 3. Barely anyone knew until his wife found some papers in the attic in the 1980s. His philosophy was that we should focus on the present and future, not dwell on what is done. A remarkably selfless attitude to enabling others to realize their potential, with profound long-term consequences. The 15 minute segment of the documentary is well worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0aoifNziKQ A tune seems a trivial thing to hang the story off, but here is one anyway.
