For over 40 years, I have called Canada home, yet Poland remains an undeniable part of me. With each return to Poland, I see traces of the past slipping away. That urgency drives me to preserve, to share, to bridge the then and now. I seek for the threads that connect what once was to what still is, reminding myself that even in a world of change, some things endure: courage, simplicity, and the unshakable human spirit.
