SPARK OF HUMANITY FOR UKRAINE

Sparks

Uppermost in my mind lately is the appalling situation in Ukraine. That brought the word humanity to mind, which brought me to this quote from Joseph Addison.

I used one of Dad Tom’s photos of a sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion began the sunflower has become a worldwide symbol of solidarity for the country and its people.

Joseph Addison was a 17th-18th century, English essayist, poet, playwright and politician. With a friend, Richard Steele, he founded The Spectator magazine. His simple prose style marked the end of the mannerisms and conventional classical images of the 17th century.

Sparks is the creation of Annie from McGuffy’s Reader. Sparks began as a blog hop, created by our friend. Annie stated when she began Sparks, “I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world.”
