Spoonfull Thoughts

"...he promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do." - part of the story of Melusina, the goddess of water who are believed as the anchestor of Dukes of Burgundy, Elizabeth's family It tells a story about the cousins at war, or the wars of the roses, between the Houses of York, Lancaster and Tudor, with one of the most thought provoking queens of England yet a rather disregarded and disliked queen, Elizabeth Woodville, as the main character. She, a young commoner Lancastrian widow, succesfully marries the king of England, Edward IV of York, gets the title of the Queen of England, and then faces many conflicts, betrayals and murders just to defend the survival of her family, especially her two royal sons. It also gives quite insight about the medieval view of magic (surprised they also believe in witchcraft and superstition), of women's power, and of the prejudice that powerful women face (just like what the author noted). This novel is both fact and fiction (the author is a historian and a novelist) so you can find quite many literatures used as the sources of the story in its bibliography. ________________________________ Honestly, I never quite be a fan of history. Just like I do not quite fancy geography. And physics. I hardly finished this book, almost like a year!? 😂 it's not only because of the reason I mentioned above though, but also because of the language that is quite higher than my level, the family tree that I cant quite understand and the repeated names in all generations (arent they creative enough to suggest other names but elizabeth, edward, george, richard, margaret, etc, you name it from the book?) 😅 However, after passing like the third of the book, i kept pushed myself to read it despite of those troubles because of curiosity. historical story is maybe not that bad – View on Path.

"...his heart began to tell him things that came from the Soul of the World. It said that all people who are happy have God within them. And that happiness could be found in a grain of sand from the desert, as the alchemist had said. Because a grain of sand is a moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years to create it. "Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him," his heart said. "We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, toward its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them - the path to their Personal Legends, and to happiness. Most people see the world as threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place." Paulo said that people are afraid to pursue their most important dreams because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll never be able to achieve them which then make their heart becomes fearful from the suffering of losing something dear to them, or losing the moments that could have been good but weren't and so on..I will say, from my case, that most of those frightening things are coming from my surrounding, or maybe from that 'particular person' that keep me agitated in doing things I love. So, still in the euphoria of independence day, I want to interpret 'independency' as, just like my friend Zahra interpreted it, 'independence from all social pressures' and just let my heart guides me to where I want and only if I want to be. This book is a very worth reading! recommended – View on Path.

I listen to musics mostly just to break silence so I never make any effort to find the newest songs or the recent popular singers. I used to copy my sisters' playlist instead when I meet them occasionally then sort it out to my liking. So, please excuse my outdated fav songs 🙈🙈🙈 Ok so what's yours?
