It is terrible times for the people of the Ukraine...It just breaks my heart to see the destruction & persecution of the Ukraine & their people...Feeling powerless to help somehow...I see that others here feel the same way & have posted their beautiful!!! layouts & tributes to the Ukraine!...of support & love...I too am here to post my "Stand" for peace dedicated to the Ukraine & all their people...I just love! the strong blue & yellow colors of the Ukraine!...To me they represent truth,strength & bravery...I have a girl praying intently for the Ukraine...It is certainly a time for praying for peace...now & always...I have a strong distaste for war of all kinds...It only makes a situation worse...& causes so much pain,loss,devastation & destruction...that never ever truly heals...I have included an extraction of a young child protesting in the Ukraine which is courtesy of Matti of Pexels...This photo haunted me & almost moved me to tears...It was powerful to me & I wanted that power to be showcased in my layout...& of course the main theme of my layout is Peace...Imagine Peace?...How could that be?...Praying for peace...Peace should just be an everyday thing...I know I am lucky to live in a place of peace & love...& I only hope these things for the Ukraine & the Ukraine people too...So my large neon peace sign should illustrate my feelings there...& lastly...The red wings...Why red wings? & not blue or yellow?...All could illustrate the theme wonderfully...but I felt that the situation has escalated...& I felt those red wings illustrate that better...They illustrate flight & freedom...but not only that...the red represents loss of love,life, tragedy & blood loss...The layout is very bold & makes a strong statement...& I know it will not be everyone's taste...I understand this very well...but for me,it was important to create this tribute to a heart wrenching situation...A strong dedication to a strong country...[Ukraine] & their strong people...I STAND With UKRAINE...
