Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange
sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again
and fasten themselves to the high branches ---
and the ponds appear
like black cloth
on which are painted islands
of summer lilies.
If it is your nature
to be happy
you will swim away along the soft trails
for hours, your imagination
alighting everywhere.
And if your spirit
carries within it
the thorn
that is heavier than lead ---
if it's all you can do
to keep on trudging ---
there is still
somewhere deep within you
a beast shouting that the earth
is exactly what it wanted ---
each pond with its blazing lilies
is a prayer heard and answered
lavishly,
every morning,
whether or not
you have ever dared to be happy,
whether or not
you have ever dared to pray.

That's fantastic, Masha-Allah!
What does he speak about? Is it mainly conversion stories? I haven't found any books by him in South Africa, which is so disappointing.
Believe me, if Prof Lang were to offer a talk, I wouldn't wait for an invite! Based on his conversion story, he should be an articulate and amazingly inspiring speaker! I forget, he must be quite a good age by now, eh? Let me know more about his talks, when you have a moment!
Warm regards,
Akeela

Thanks for the lovely duas!
Hey, Dr Lang should be quite dynamic! You're very fortunate to hear him first hand! Do let me know how it goes!
Have an excellent month, Insha-Allah!
Ramadan karim,

Anyway, I just noticed that you're a member of BookMooch, and learning Arabic, also, so I thought I'd say hi. :)

I do not know when I will ever get all of my library logged. The estimate I am telling everyone at this time is about twenty years!
I have sorted through some of my books & will be adding them to trading sites this week.
Have a blessed day,
selkie
