Those moments

You know those times you need a picker upper?
That little boost to your day, that added skip?..

Remember little things that take you back to your innocence,
Your naive playful ways..
The excitement your body had in your very veins venturing..
The moments that created sparkles in your eyes.
The dumb things we did that should have humiliated us, yet we were completely unaware.
Jokes on us, and in a good way.. Just reminiscence
Anything that takes you to that special place.

Never forget your inner self, the young at heart..
Remember all the little things that make you YOU..
For a moment forget all the confines of the world.

Accept yourself, love yourself..
Do what you love, and love what you do.
Love yourself and others for simply who they ARE.

We all find ourselves in a rut at some point..
Take a moment to filter out the hate of the world..
Especially the self hate thoughts that try to monopolize your mind.

Sit down and reflect on the all the good times..them young times and..
All the good you see today.
Love yourself, continue being YOU.

Boogie men

Great idea! We all should write a book called "If walls could speak".. Yay or nay? More boogie men would come to light and the seemingly invisible acts of kindness and sacrifice could take the stage.

If you can read this..

If you can read this status via your phone or computer... Then you are of those that have a lot to be grateful for, there are many suffering in this world for the bare essentials to sustain life itself. . We are truly blessed and I only hope that while we live in a great degree of comfort, it does not numb us to the reality we live in and distract us from the real rewards in life. Not of the tangibles that return to dust, but the effects we have on each other and our very own souls. Create a positive memory, those never die.

Alhamdulilah.

Distant star

Black are the stains on her hands.
She clenches them, raises them to the moon..
Sequins,glitter and rhinestones fall to her feet.
Her mind,heart and soul...
Ink and glitz she tried to create her vision, her life..
Instead she stands under the pale moon..
Eyes black as night, a sparkle lingers..
She holds her gaze on that distant star.

My true friend

Learning all the time that Allah subhan wa ta a'la is my true friend indeed. 

Not a wish unheard..not a tear unnoticed. Knower of the words not said but felt.

A.S.

Fragments.

AstagfurAllah for what is beyond me...beyond ourselves.

Our perspectives no matter its source or validity, are just a glimpse,an angle..a bird's eye view. It is not an absolute knowledge or complete Truth.

Fragments of fragments...Some sharp,some dull...
Light and darkness..
Mosaic.

Allahu alim...
Allahu alim...
ALLAHU ALIM.

Coping

Some pain there is no escaping from.

And numbing yourself is your only coping mechanism..
