My Eid

I enjoy waking up in the morning, smiling and grateful that I’m alive. I thank god.

I enjoy watching the sunrise when I leave home in the morning, it’s so beautiful. I thank god.

I enjoy looking around me, contemplating the big universe, listening to the great symphony of nature. I feel overwhelmed, I thank god.

I enjoy praying; payers give me a serene kind of inner peace. A fulfilling sense of contentment and gratitude; I feel beautiful, I thank god.

I enjoy reading the Koran; the magnitude of the book gives the chills. The words bring tears to my eyes, I feel taken, detached from my reality and dipped in a utopian world. I thank god.

I enjoy fasting; it gives me the great feeling of power and control. I’m in full control of myself, and I can hit the target, on time everyday for 30 days. I feel achieved. I thank god.

At Iftar, I enjoy saying the “shahada” (the Muslim prayer that says that I believe in god and in his messenger Mohammad) but…. I don’t believe it… I don’t believe in god neither in his angels nor messengers, I don’t believe in the judgment day…

But anyways, Ramadan is over soon, Happy Eid everyone; I really deserve the 5 days vacation we got for Eid!

I’ll be on the beach with LOTS of margaritas!

Cheers

  4. I enjoyed reading this post. You seem to have a lot of heart and I'm sure you listen to it. Someone once told me the truth is hard to find, but I disagreed, it is hard to follow.

    I had been at a similar place a few years ago. My heart has softened considerably since.
