What brings you peace?
Years ago when knights were bold, and ladies knew how to behave, my children would ask “Mum what do you want for a present 🎁 “ my response never wavered “A cup of peace & a slice of quiet please” I never got it.
Now they have grown and flown away, waiting for one to re-fly as I swear he has a homing pigeon device built into him somewhere. I found myself still searching for this peace thing. Now I have discover a piece of cake, now I point out I do know cake is sold by the slice, but me I say I’ll have a piece of that and a piece of that and oops 🙊 off topic…
Anyway I love my books reading gives me time to chill so that is peace I lose myself in the book and characters and it all plays out in my mind as I am reading, providing me with a mini theatre 🎭 of my imagination 💭 whilst lost in the words of the book. Giving more thought to it I have always loved my books ever since I was a child the only time I felt truly happy was with my books around me. Now I have at least 15 bookcases filled with books on most subjects because it makes me feel good, safe, and at peace with myself
The one other thing I do that brings me peace is I write, because it releases a lot of tension, makes my wrist ache though. What do I write asked no one writing a book, poetry loads of topics, have had poetry published in USA. Just incase anyone wanted too know or not.
So that is my peace,books and writing , somewhere only I know high amongst the clouds my imagination and my ability to see the unseeable. To disappear into my thoughts and be totally happy because the world outside of the cocoon I have built around my little fantasy world is free of all earthly issues.
“Everywhere I have sought peace and not found it, except in a corner with a book.”
