ALL BEAUTY in the world is either a memory of Paradise or a prophecy of the transfigured world.

Of The Past
She could not think but of the days that have passed and hid behind the curtains, where memories seem to be so vague, not clear who was right, whose fault it was of the broken world, pieces of which she still holds dear to her heart.
It did not matter then - because what made sense were the days she could relate, belonged and felt secure. In those memories was her unshaken world where many dreams looked possible, her aspirations achievable and heart in love, it was so simple, so tangible, so real.
She believed she could shelter a thousand after the war, could feed dozens of hungry, comfort orphaned and make smile an outcast.

Seasonal Reading
I guess The Dancer from Khiva is not a book for this season for me, so I put it aside on the shelf. Looking for some good reading.

Grandmothers
It seems to me that grandmothers are there to indulge children of their children. We are waiting.

PEACE
“Peace is achieved through dialogue, with conflicts considered, with the realization of one’s mistake and forgiveness available.”
“Peace can be worked out only where humility resides. Humility must be the foundation.”
“Only when you hear me, and when you get a chance to share the deep concerns and motives of your heart, only then we can have peace, considering that acceptance already is given.”
“When the peace is abounding the fields bloom, the hearts rejoice and there seems to be hope for everything, for yet another day.”
“Peace is not something given; we cannot take it for granted. Peace is a work out – we come together and agree to maintain it, even in our differences.”
“What is the cost of peace? Why it should be the hundred thousands of lives? It should be achieved, but not at human costs.”
“The greatest gift is peace. With peace we can go on, even when it seems very hard, we still can bring the change. Peace will enable us.”
“Peace flows out of justice, one should respect the boundary of the other, and those boundaries should help all – to self-realization with best for “the other” in mind.”
“Never undermine human dignity, for when it is violated - peace ceases. It is turmoil.”
“Grant us peace and in peace we will create.”
“If I could have but found - peace of the mind, of the soul and the land. These are my desires.”
