INSIDE PEACE

THERE’S a time for righting wrongs. There are times to fight battles.

The poet Hafiz, from 14th-century Shiraz, suggested we take an occasional day to “talk about that which disturbs no-one”.

Why? Because it would “bring some peace into those beautiful eyes”. A day when we didn’t complain, didn’t criticise, didn’t try to put things “right”, but appreciated them are they are.

It might not make a difference to anyone else, but it would surely bring some peace to our soul.
