...jummah mubarak... before praying... before sitting in your space of sanctimony... before bowing your head to the Great Mystery that you are in the process of returning to... wash... clean... clear your space... anoint yourself with perfumes like you are anticipating the greatest Love of your life... adorn yourself in clothes that are honoring of your holy sanctimony...
...this is the process conveyed by the prophet muhammad in how to approach your Maker... does it make sense?... it seems like when it is done by people outside of islam... like intermittent fasting taken from ramadhan... it is seen as amazing... beautiful... powerful...
...embrace your path... deeply... in communion... learn to be in communion... learn to listen... to be in Quiet... to give... to be of service... how much of your day was spent in service... in giving?... even during this shut down my mom was cooking for others... sending food to friends... shopping for her family and friends... taking time to attend to the dead and dying... to listen to her friends in struggle...
...during this day of rejuvenation... of coming at the conclusion of the week... of shabat... the day of rest... pause breathe and give thanks... then consider how the areas in your life that are not in service can be in service...
