MEDITATION: The Children - The Future

By Elizabeth Mary Bohjelian

One evening, during dinner, Akop disclosed his discontent. "Rosie, the system is trying to break my spirit, but it's not working. I realize my brooding is causing you discomfort.

I have comrades there; they're willing to help me." Vartouhy  waited for him to go on speaking.

Tonight, Vartouhy immediately recognized there was something urgent in his mine; something he wanted to do, perhaps for the good; but something which would affect their marraige.
