The sun was setting softly. Everyone at home was busy with work, school, online meetings, and homework. Mom was in the kitchen, Dad was drinking tea while working on his phone. The two children were each playing on their tablets. There was no peace in the house; every room had its own noise.
Suddenly, Mom remembered the old days her grandmother spoke about. Back then, there was a small corner in the house. Grandma would sit there and pray, Grandpa would read the newspaper, and the children would sit nearby listening to stories. That corner was not just peaceful; the peace spread throughout the home. Everyone laughed, talked, and ate together at the same time.
Now, it felt like both the corner and that peace were gone. Mom wondered for a moment if everyone could sit together and talk, even for a little while. She asked the children, 'Can we all sit together for just 10 minutes today?' At first, no one was interested. But slowly, those 10 minutes turned into a small moment of happiness. It felt as if the peace from Grandma's time had returned, even if just for those 10 minutes.
At the end of the day, a question arose in Mom's mind: 'Isn't this peace, this time, the strength that helps us all live healthily for many more years?' She didn't know the answer. But that peace, those 10 minutes, opened a new path.
