Trial and error

Not for a moment do I regret the heart ache.
It taught me my strengths and my weaknesses..
It opened my eyes to human nature.

I don’t regret my loving.
Everything came full circle..
Not in the way I had imagined, But it did.

At the darkest of moments,.
I learned the most profound.
At the lowest of all lows..
It made me recognize that special kind of light.
In the end I found the one

It was through trial and error and I’ll always be grateful.

An opinion

I feel that our Creator (God, Allah, or whatever name you recognize to identify Him), provided several books of Revelation which are specific remedies to life and co-existence among nations. Of course I’m referring to the un-adultered,original revelations/books.
I don’t feel that you could possibly take the wrong remedy, but I feel you can take the wrong dose. Sometimes our judgement gets the best of us, and we end up overdosing. Sometimes less is more.

I wish that we could see that the solutions are many. Show more love and compassion that we’re all taught;  embrace each other for as much as we are different, we are all one and the same; ultimately and hopefully meeting at the same destination.

Lord knows

You may not see what it is I do from day to day, on a daily basis, But I assure you I get just as tired as you. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. My hands are dry, from washing them all the time. I care for another person's well being as if it were my own life to live. Al the while I push away the fatigue and try to find a way to make you and them smile. I try to listen, motivate,support and inspire. My family is all I have and it's all I want, and I do my best to make a home... a home. Some days it looks easy, but I assure you it is not. I may not get a paycheck, But my reward is with God. You may not see what I contribute to society, But I am certain of God's knowledge. Its not always easy standing firm like a pillar for those you love, when you feel like you yourself, need to scream. But, what good would that do? Who would listen?  I may not respond to emotional outburts, But Lord knows how I listen. Its not what you say, But how you say it that's important.
Lord knows what is in my heart of hearts. Lord knows what I can not convey in this little post. Lord knows the peace and tranquility I desire. Lord knows my intentions.

ALLAHU ALIM.

To live

We all just want to live don't we?

But what happens when things get in the way of your living your life comfortably as you would like, or desire?

Some accept the dirt they stand on.

Others have no qualms about stepping over you..

Its a nasty climb to the top, ain't it?

If only we could change our definition of what it is to live and be a human being...

I'll continue to dream.

Hot headed

Few words of advice.

Life gets hard, don't allow yourself to take it out on those you love the most. Your family... However and whoever  you may define your 'family' as.. Blood relatives, friends, ect. If you don't treat those relationships with care, you'll begin to see those relationships deteriorate. Emotions are real and there's no sense in hiding them, But there are sensible ways of expressing them. A little effort, will go a long way. God willing.

A.S.

Business

Do,learn and experience things because you're doing what you love and enjoy. Don't allow yourself to become another person's business embarkment or safety net. You are not a tool, you're another human being.
I've learned many the hard way that family and friend relationships do not mix well with business. There are more often than not, strings attached. There is some personal gain in the recruitment. This here is where I draw the line... I much rather keep to myself.
Nurture skill and talent within' yourselves and not through the use of other people to get a step up. Especially from those you call family and friends.

A.S.

Why not

By His grace He made you and I as we are. So why in this world, isn't that enough? To Be and feel content. To love and accept others without strings attached. To appreciate someone purely for their existence alone. No expectations, no obligations. Just simple love and happiness.

A.S.

Forever

How is it that you can miss someone so much?
You live with them..
You share the same food...
You share the same bed...
Even when you find you need moments to yourself.
You still find yourself immersed with thoughts of them.

You can be as near as one can be in the flesh,..
But it is within' the soul and the spirit that you truly feel.

With that special kind of person it goes above and beyond.
The strongest of ties are unseen to man.
Near or far.
You will never love enough.
The body has its limits, But the soul does not.

Perhaps its not about what I'm missing,
But what I'm forever learning.

A.S.

Peace!

Never judge. I may not understand your language or way of thinking, But Allah(God) certainly understands mine. Peace!

courtesy

Common courtesy, read all about it! Wait, its not so common.

 A.S.

Family

When it comes right down to it,NOTHING matters as much as family.That's the way it should be. Please don't wait to realize this by the time its too late. Appreciate what you already have, appreciate others, and don't let anger and the superficial get in the way of your relationships. Once we realize that we have power of choice, we don't need to become victims or aggressors. Wishing you all good ripples. Amen.

A.S.

You don't always get what you give

For you I’ve never once complained.
To expect the same feels almost like a crime.
Why?

A.S.

In the middle

Sometimes you can’t win for loosing… But, you need to be content with the very fact you’ve tried with all that you could. The world may not recognize this, but it doesn’t matter. God knows best. Allahu Alim.

Caged Bird

Sometimes she just wants to walk to anyplace,anytime, on her own. To walk through the masses, and in her silent way feel she’s at the center of the world. Time would start to stand still and sounds would begin to muffle.
Walking…walking to her hearts content.
This would set the bird free.

A.S.

Feelings within'

How can you explain a feeling that is indescribable?
Sometimes I wonder why I even try.
How can anyone understand what lies in another persons chest?
When they can not Truly feel what it is to be within' your mind, heart and soul..
We're walking vessels holding onto secrets.
Sometimes we get a glimpse.. sometimes we come close to exposing our true selves.
Close we may come...
But never do we fully reach the unseen.
These invisible realities are our common factors.

Creepy Encounters

I don’t know why today of all days certain memories came floating back to me. Perhaps my research into the dark side of serial killers triggered this memory that came back to me.
I remember very clearly being in a store with my grandmother,sister and many other shoppers where I actually was in the presence of someone I felt was very dark, evil and cold. I can’t begin to describe the feeling of ultimate fear I felt with his presence in the same isle, even though my grandmother was footsteps away and the store full of people. It was one of a couple times I’ve ever felt someone by there just simply being near, was absolutely evil. Once is more than one can imagine enduring,so to imagine encountering such personalities more than once is more than creepy and unnerving.
I have nothing to explain why or how I felt that way about the man except it was an intuition and a heightened sense that stirred my body to react & want to stay away.
Something I won’t ever forget and I’m grateful for those instincts for kicking in.
