L'shanah tovah! Happy Labor Day! Write for justice in the book of our lives: in a year when so many would see the covers closed, write life. Mir zaynen do. Mir veln zayn do.
I translated that song to Swedish, and have sung it before thousands of people on May Day. : ) Later when I dug into the archives of the university library, I did find one previous translation from the 70's, but it didn't seem to have survived in popular tradition, and anyway I ended up happier with mine.
Happy New Year - may it be sweet. And may we have the energy to keep on fighting.

Would that I could remember their motto more often. These days, there are too many people on whom I wish injury.

Thank you! I don't think that's a terrible wish. If I didn't have to work for mere survival, it might be much sweeter to me.

That sounds really nice. I'm glad your child has so many butterflies in their life.
