6 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, КВІТЕНЬ 2019 physically wounded ; the second was geared to the psychologically war - traumatized. This endeavor is grounded in the premise that spirituality plays a de- cisive role in healing the “whole” person. The UN- WLA leadership believes that enabling the two larg- est churches in Ukraine to educate future priests who will focus on the geographical war - torn areas will, in turn, enable the process of healing. Join us, once again, in making a difference in the lives of others. Together we can do even more! Another important announceme nt this month concerns the launching of our new UNWLA website. (please see announcement on p. 4 ). The home page lead line, “Where rich history meets new opportunities” sums up what this redesigned website captures and reflects. One of the main goals was to allow a new visitor to our webpage to understand very quickly who UNWLA is and what UNWLA does. I think you’ll agree that we’ve accomplished this! I thank each Committee member involved, our project leader s here in the United States and Yuriy Ku- cherenko, our volunteer and project manager in Lviv, for their tenacity and dedication. We started with an idea and went from there! As we continue to work together to expand and mod- ify this UNWLA electronic home base, we ask for your input as well as your patience. The UNWLA National Board will have held its annual meeting by the time you receive this issue, and a summary of this meeting will be published in May’s OL. The planned focus of the 2019 Board meet- ing centers on training of new Regional Coun cil pres- idents. “New?” you may ask. And the answer is “Yes” because 2019 is the final year of the “two two - year term limits” for regional council presidents (specifi- cally those who were in office at the 2014 Convention, when the term - limit amendment to the by - laws was accepted by our delegates.) The term - limit clock started ticking for regional councils in 2015, while the branch limit starting point was 2016. We understand that many of our members may feel uncomfortable taking on leadership positions, but o ne responsibility of any viable organization is to develop new leaders. An integral and natural part of this process of devel- oping potential leaders is to recognize that those who have been in leadership positions for a long time and have gained solid expe rience must step aside and serve as mentors and advisors and be supportive members to a new president and new regional board. I end with h eartfelt congratulations to our new regional leaders. We are here to support and guide you. Sincere respect and many thanks to those who have led until now. We treasure and value your continued support and guidance. Pysanka b y Myroslava Stefaniuk I hold a raw, white egg. Burnt beeswax, vinegar and dyes flow onto milky curves in lines, dots, triangles and spirals until my copper kistka conjures invocations to deities of earth. In the beginning was the egg . . . Black empty void touched by sun’s golden rays green harbinger of spring crimson of love and everlasting life cult of sun, moon and stars, endless m eander of a thousand ages. Icon in perfect symmetry. . . Stone age to skyscraper encoded talisman for you, dipped in shellac for extra sheen to ward off evil. * Poem was originally published in At the Edge of Mirror Lake . A Woman’s Reader ( Plain View Press , 1999) and is reprinted here with permission from au- thor.
