We had children with us. A young Tommaso ran ahead and was separated from the group. It was an eerie ten or 15 minutes before he was located. He could easily have picked up a similar object. In our group was the badly scarred friend of one such young man who did pick up something like this and did not survive. How deep are the scars of our quiet young friend who makes documentaries about the battle of Montecassino?
About 15 metres further along the track is where three children were killed after the war, one having picked up an unexploded mortar as they played.
There were daisies.
No poppies on Monte Cassino today.

I think I understood the matter. Building peace is so difficult, you know... The first very difficult thing is to find your own way and then, after so many troubles, you can start working. And it will be as difficult as crazy.
Building such a device, instead, is realle easy and cheap. Easy and cheap is killing! Difficult, sometimes, is smiling.
But we are improving every day, I, you, my five (or more) readers :) and smiling more and more.
I wish you a very very sunny day.
