Patriotiskās nedēļas izskaņās īpaši izjūtu kā dzīve Latvijā man iemācija ‘apmīļot katru ozola zīli’ ar savu skatienu, kā ievērot un izjust, mīlēt un cienīt dabu pa īstam.
This is the tail end of ‘patriotic week’ in Latvia, which kicks off November 11th on Lāčplēša diena (Latvia’s Remembrance Day) and continues through November 18th on our Independence Day. My social media pages have been filled with photos, videos, poems and songs in Latvia’s honor. The words of this song have been my earworm for a couple of days and I’ve been reflecting on how Latvia taught me to love/hug (‘apmīļot’ literally translates as ‘wrap love around’) every acorn with my eyes, how to notice and feel, love and respect nature genuinely and sincerely.
Cuddle, dear sun, my land,
The north wind has a strong hand…
Warm, dear sun, my land,
The north wind has cold breath…
Love/hug, dear sun,
Ever acorn
On my land…
I plant an evergreen tree of hope
For my homeland….
Lai notiek tā!
