It reminds me of when the fictional Pope Kiril from Lvov receives a symbolic present from the fictional Soviet Premier Kaminev in “The Shoes of the Fisherman”: soil and sunflower seeds.

“The seeds are sacred because they have life locked up inside of them. I hope they will flourish in your garden.”

P.S. My first wife’s family, may they RIP, immigrated from Odessa 100 years ago. This is not an academic exercise for me.

My song was referring to this incident.

I’ve passed that along to two of my favorite Youtube artists. I have no idea if they’re even taking suggestions right now, or if their feeds are so crowded they’ll even see my messages, but I think this song would work really well with their music styles.

I hope this song starts showing up everywhere! It feels like the kind of war song that’s remembered for decades.
