...bismillahiRahmaniRahim...
...i know i'm off with these dates... missed a day in recording a reflection... a couple... over these last couple of days of travel, return... acclimating... situating myself in the Wisdom of rituals... of the 5 prayers... of asana... of breath... of writing... of readingQur'an... of breaking fast in the space of believers of the heart... a departure point from where i'd been doing this alone... it is a much deeper experience to be in a space of community in fasting in prayer in the conversations we hold... the conference of Connection... all praise is due...
...i bear witness again and again that there is no one but One... and i realize again and again how much of my life i've spent worshipping false idols... people coming up on stage and asking to be worshipped... brushing their shoulders off... and recognizing the rebelliousness of their act as something to be wowed by because intrinsically i and we know it is an insult to divinity... that it is more than rebellion to a rule of oppression but being a ruler that is worthy of praise... corruption is often replaced by corruption... whether the group doing the replacement was oppressed or not...
...day 19 was the return... was the drive back.. was the packing up... was the sights and sounds of the road without radio interference... without seeking to be stimulated with air waves to occupy my times... was spent in dhikr... in remembrance of the Hour that is certain... of doing good deeds as the tokens of homes in heaven... of loving the hereafter more than the transience of this material maya...
...all praise is due... Always...
