Quote by Christine Evangelou

“Finding Peace- Poem Excerpt: Peace is finding your bliss Without any condition, situation, or person attached to it, Peace is the tenacity to be you and feel your heart. Peace is the sound you hear when you circle the scenery of your own soul. Like a tree, so rooted to what is real Like the ocean, exquisite and unending, whether people cherish it or not Like a butterfly, unique and colourful, be it night or day. Like the moon, full, even when not visibly so.”

“I wonder if there is something wrong with me, she thought, that I can get so much from so little, because all my joy comes from not doing–not spending summer afternoons in stuffy drawing-rooms listening to women setting their neighbours’ morals to rights over the bridge table, not spending summer evenings listening to men and women setting the world’s affairs to right over five-course dinners, not sewing in circles, nor reading in groups. I must be very selfish, she thought, for I want set nothing and no-one right; all I want is to be left in peace to make what I can of this problem called life for myself and my children. What would the world be like, she wondered, if everyone minded his own business?”
