YOU DESERVE PEACE.

IT'S OKAY TO MOVE AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS DIFFICULT.

The bird cries,

it sails through the skies as its flock demands,

and skims the seas bustling with life,

The bird flies,

it whisks past windows as whimsy commands,

and holds the suns hands,

when she reaches high up above all lands,

The bird stands,

it will lay with its feather,

when it finds the promised land it will rest forever,

The bird lands,

It understands,

It lays down in man-made sand,

The bird cries.

Midnight Slumber

the lights are off

it’s dark in this house

but it still feels warm

from the evenings bouts

the dogs are asleep

laying on the couches

their snores are what

we are accustomed

and there’s music playing

ever so softly

it’s rather calming

it makes me feel whole

i lay on the loveseat

curled up into a ball

appreciating this peace

that is so rarely found

we all fall asleep eventually

to the sounds of

the unknown

and the pitter patter

of the cats paws

on the wooden floor

oh what a life

to find happiness

in the dark

to feel content

with where you are

Fenrir in his midnight slumbers

Make yourself a cup of tea in your leisure time, savor it carefully, discover and enjoy the beauty of life.

Life is short, live today

Past is bullshit , make further bright 😎

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.

When you get used to drinking tea, you will slowly calm down and feel the gentle power of life bring you more touch.

Remarks by Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism.

. Mr. President, Excellencies, Terrorism remains a significant challenge for the international community that no State can tackle alone. To eradicate the terrorist threat, we need inclusive, multilateral responses that are firmly grounded on political strategies, compliant with international law, and informed by all-of-society and all-of-government approaches. The upcoming Summit of the Future represents a critical opportunity for Member States to recommit to countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism along those lines. The Office of Counter-Terrorism, including through the United Nations Global CounterTerrorism Coordination Compact, will continue to support and work in partnership with Member States to realize that vision. I thank you.

Briefing to the Security Council on the 19th report of the Secretary-General on theto international peace and security and the range of United Nations efforts in support of Member States in countering the threat.
