The 12th Night

This has just got to be the most amazing sequence of nights. The skies are cloudless; stars are twinkling ever so brightly; and THAT moon sails across the black velvety sky so majestically. Yes, Za, we sure are having a great time out there. Beautiful breeze brings glad tidings of Allah's forgiveness. And the morning sky too was simply dazzling...lots of fluffy white clouds (like hundreds of thousands of sheep silently "grazing on the pastures of the sky.")...its so quiet on the streets of Georgetown that it makes for lovely moongazing...where are the people (gazing at their tv screens or their monitors or their cells)...well I guess I have it all for myself...wish I didnt have to go indoors and lose the magic of it all...but that's the nature of time...good things do come to a kind of "end"...but the memories do live on...and these few words are written for the "memory" to be in Kodak colour years from now...yes Za...I love you...be good. And as you grow, InshaAllah...and become a man know that Allah's forgiveness is not just for erasing "sins" accumulated (what a silly concept)...but it's to POLISH our souls to make it sparkle ever brighter. Astagfirullah...the soul brightens...and reaches deep into the heavens to caress the Throne of God. Then the Fingers of the Most Compassionate, the Fingers of the Most Merciful, softly, gently lifts the soul...then all the angels fall in prostration to this child of Adam....Love you baby, Daddy.
