and i think of another one, somewhere in a shtetl, who sang a song where she foreswore everything, slept out in the fields, ate only bread and water, and went out to be a washerwoman, “abi mit dir in aynem sayn, abi mit dir in aynem sayn” – “as long as i can be with you, as long as i can be with you.”
long-ago songs, and they’re still in our bones.

with all the technology, intelligence, and innovation in our world today we still can’t figure out how to eradicate poverty…
Very effective picture. The brown color gives a melancholic tinge to the atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing.
