Isn´t it strange how Timothy Snyder´s recommendations in On Tyranny fit to the Corona situation now - like Make eye contact, stand out, establish a private life, be calm when the unthinkable arrives?

Having a coffee and chatting with the Italian family stellten sich the Gänseblümchen auf Snyders Titelseite ein.

good Morning!

Schauen Sie mal rein in das Buch - und in den 8. Dezember 2019 hier bei uns auf dem Blog!

Dear Maria and all around you,

undisturbed by human stupidity, there are all sort of things blooming and sticking their noses out of the earth in the park across the street, daffodils, tulips, forsythia,and in our living room Yellow roses and a huge Amarillis stalk with 4 huge red flowers. Ha! that criminally stupid individual in our White House couldn't interfere with everything.

On the other hand, life has become a little more confined--we can still take walks in our park, shopping is a little more difficult--BUT (when my computer works, not too often) we can keep in touch with friends and relatives. We both have had some flu symptoms, but I don't think we have been crowned by the Corona virus.

Whether we can make a trip to Europe is unclear at the moment but, in principle, why not?  Facts do not invariably follow good principles.

All the best, healthwise, politically, and as a state of mind!

With Love from
Arnold*
