@hazardwarning 'Parce mihi Dominus' is beautiful. I'm used to hearing the saxophone in jazz and it sounds a certain way—smoky, for want of a better word. So I didn't realise it could sound so delicate.
Can anyone suggest some mellow songs/tracks to add to my 'Mellow' playlist? Because it's a bit anaemic with only seventeen tracks. I'm completely agnostic about the type of music as long as it has a mellow atmosphere.
@SarahsScribbles It's interesting that emotions are conceptualised as a blandly generic-looking small child….
@matigo I avoid television news, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter etc. because they are weapons meant to harm me but I read tons of websites and sometimes books. I'm not being assaulted by information weapons as much now which helps my sanity but there is plenty that's still disturbing.

'And in fact, it’s increasingly looking like a stealth offensive has already begun. Today again there was news of major breakthroughs [for the Russians] in the Kremennaya area. And what’s more, is we’re seeing signs of major increases in Russian aerospace operations. […] from the Kremennaya area, Russian attack choppers of every sort, and planes, are visibly providing CAS to the advancing troops with a density of airpower we haven’t seen since the early days.'
'Further, there are increasing intermittent missile strikes. Whereas before, Russia would wait a week or two to launch one large grouping of strikes, now we are getting smaller pinpoint doses every day/night.'
'And the Sumy/Kharkov regions continue to be hammered by artillery from the Russian border for the first time in half a year. Again last night powerful strikes on Sumy were reported, which suggests ‘softening up’ operations.'
