Montreal-based, Nicola Ciccone wrote a moving French song on love following the 9\/11 tragedy. Bambi shared it on this blog, 3 years ago, while remembering this awful day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, Mr. Ciconne’s song remains timely in our deeply troubled world, especially miles away in the Middle East and, sadly closer to us, including the streets of Montreal yesterday afternoon (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/Gdj8T<\/a>; https:\/\/shorturl.at\/5VTRE<\/a>). Indeed, what appears like a provocation (i.e. choice of the day for these demonstrations, as expressed by all panelists), vandalism, and unwise slogans of exclusion or cancellation toward anyone or even any nation (i.e., including the one attacking\/invading Lebanon right now), are simply unacceptable in Canada, especially on a sad day for humanity like October 7. Plus, all this does not help in finding solutions or serve peace one day. It can only risk adding fuel to the fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, conflicts are clearly more complex than we might think when we are upset. Who knows? Perhaps some of us might be more prone to thinking that matters are black and white (good or bad, this or that, etc.). They are not that simple. There are shades or nuances we might be missing, despite any good intention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, she does not know about you, but in Bambi’s mind, innocent people of all sides deserve to stop suffering. When will everyone heal, live in safety, dignity, hopefully peace, and ideally love? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude this post, it is Bambi’s hope that love will prevail in people’s hearts (despite grief, anger, despair, or any preferred side or tribe). Following the YouTube<\/em> song, if you wish, you can read an English translation of Mr. Ciconne’s beautiful French lyrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
