@tg8o.bsky.social - This is Salaria Kea, the amazing black nurse who, at age 20, volunteered in the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War. A moving and inspirational story that will take your breath away. Click the picture:

When I first arrived in Barcelona, Franco was still staring down from the wall in every bar and cafe. It was like the war had never ended - and perhaps wars never do?

Author and book cover for the novel We Shall Pass
They had never sat together like this, real coffee in a café; people living normal lives. It’s the small things that matter. We strive for purpose and meaning, but 10 minutes having coffee with friends in a Spanish café. These are the things that make us human.

Sartre image illustrated when I became an existentialist.
A tree fell on my head and cracked my skull – when my head opened, the universe looked in at me and I looked out at the universe. That's when I became an existentialist.

"Young idealistic British volunteers to the Spanish Civil War find themselves in a Guernica-like nightmare, an ever-rising body-count. Add a love triangle stretched across the extremes of the English 1930s class system and you have something very powerful." PETER YORK - mybook.to/qkiNQ
