Hope

Good things come
When you think all is lost.
The hope,
To cope.
The pain,
The ache.
The fear,
The tear(s)
Will be overcome,
When good things will come.

 I took a day off work and it felt like the best decision ever! The day was just beautiful, nice and sunny. I had a girl meet up with my friend. She had her 18 month son with her. He has the most perfect dimples when he smiles. We had to sit in a children's area so he could let us talk. Here is what I made out of his veggies..... We had chai Latte. It's chai made with cinnamon and is frothy like coffee.  New beginnings this week I started a group called Quran sisters. In this small group we are learning to understand Arabic in order to understand namaz and quran better. Its going to be baby steps, but I hope to be persistent. On the same note, after months of planning, today I started the weight training. I just exercised with 1 kg weight in each hand.

Tuesdays and Fridays are days of almost nothingness. The nurses like me there (or so I think). "Daikh bilkul hamaray jaisee hay , har waqt khatee rahtee hay!", one of them beams. Then the patients who are there for their initial visit, it was difficult yet funny explaining that I am not Dr Nehal. The stalk of files to see is amazing.

When

Why do we kill each other? When will we improve. When will it happen that if one person is killed, the killer gets punished. The values are lost. We are just muslims. By name. Being a muslim means to submit to God's will. To do what He says. Because He is there. Always. It must sadden Him to see us in the state that we are. When you lie you are said to be clever. Lie for this transient world. For the superficiality of it. The glitter. When will we change. Is it that we dont pray hard enough, or the fact that we have forgotten to pray. The line between right and wrong is blurred. Wrong is right. Lets pray for His mercy. His mercy, His help. To see the right path.The simple path.
