I have deadlines. I have promises to keep. I have signed a contract that I must honor.
But these are strange and unprecedented times. And damn the deadlines. Because, right now, there is something else that I absolutely must do.
I have to scream till I am hoarse. So here it is...
There are plenty of leaders (self-styled and otherwise), some are elected and others who have forced their way to the top. There are those who care about their countries and those who are in it to further their own selfish interests. And these leaders make plenty of speeches. So there is no dearth of famous sayings by famous (and infamous) people.
It was these six simple words by Volodymyr Zelenskyy (President of Ukraine) that moved me such that I had to drop everything and make something with them. This is is not a typical Dreami (drop everything and make it) project but even more compelling.
When Zelenskyy was offered a way out of troubled Ukraine, he responded by saying, "The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride."
This is my attempt to honor the courage and remarkable leadership of Zelenskyy, who chooses to fight and lead a nation through a most challenging time, when he could've fled to safety.

In a world full of politicians and deal-makers, here is an ordinary man who rose to the occasion. As I join millions others praying for his and his family's safety, I hope that if we were called to such an extraordinary task, we could do the same. He has definitely shown us how.
I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
