The making of a coward…technology has allowed us to be brutally cruel without suffering the consequences

Sometimes, all you can do is brace yourself for the incoming storm.
And sometimes, despite your best efforts, you’ll still run aground.
Sometimes, the tide will come in and lift you up.
And sometimes, you’ll be so tired that you’ll want to stay put.
Regardless of your needs, your wants, your desires, or your pleas,
the storm will not abate…until you’re done.

The crescent and star are signs established in paganism and are not representative of Islam in any way at all. Given its pagan origins, consider what that means when you prostrate on a mat that has this symbol on it, or when you pray in a mosque that is decorated with it as its highest symbols. This is a woeful innovation that can lead to nothing but hypocrisy.

Elusive
If the inevitability of death merely heralds the inevitability of eternity, then I must ask myself, “What do I want from eternity?”
More than happiness,
more than comfort,
I want peace.
Not peace in knowing that I have everything I need,
or everything I want,
but peace in not needing anything or wanting anything…
no contention, no yearning, no expectations.
Just the absence of clutter,
the absence of noise,
the absence of unfulfilled expectations,
and more than anything, the absence of needing to trust.
Instead, the presence of silence without a need to break it.
No needs, no wants, no desires, no anything,
just…peace.
