The Spring has been so rainy and cold this year that the peonies have been slow to bloom. Today our patient waiting was rewarded.

Цього року Весна була настільки дощовою і холодною, що півонії повільно цвіли. Сьогодні наше чекання скінчилося.

For 5 weeks, a group of 6 women came together to sing Ukrainian folk songs. They dug deep to develop their voices. Today they shared songs asked their families & friends to sing along. Let us remember those who sang these songs before us & continue to bring more light into the world through song.

An excerpt of "Oy shcho v nedilyu" sung by participants of the folk song intensive at the Ukrainian Museum & Archives in Cleveland. We dedicate this song to our family & friends in Ukraine, and to the armed forces who have protected the sovereignty of their homeland for many years.

Taking a break from the dismal news from all around, I received these today. They've become a new Valentine's Day tradition with much gratitude to the multi-talented Kristen Dubenion-Smith .

Tonight, Укриття/Shelter included the falling of a projector, a broken lamp, 2 angels who offered comfort & showed me a video of how to change the lamp, a stage manager with the right screwdriver, a fixed projector, bubbles, appreciative audiences, 3 shows done on schedule. In other words-a success!

In less than a month, Vira Hanchar and I will premiere a new work about the war in Ukraine called Укриття/Shelter. Vira (by video) and I will be there along with the talents of Anna Sitko and Chris Szajbert.
