The answer is a bit of a 'thought octopus', but even in primary school, I had concern for the many ways and places freedom was obstructed in the world. Books, friends, interest in my distant heritage and an amazing German teacher all influenced my interest in culture and history, but it was a music teacher in high school in the 70's who had taken singing groups to West Germany/West Berlin ( some cousins included) whose occasional vivid, perspective-filled interludes during choir rehearsals stood out most in my mind as I read this. From an 8 to 50+ years tied together in a way. And here I am, still thinking about freedom in the world, but now on Nostr, grateful for translation app, enjoying your beautiful posts. Thank you, and 😊 Pfaff.
