Memories Of Egypt

As I returned to the masjid after a too long absence, women were arriving to prepare for breaking the Ramadan fast together.

I was invited to stay and eat with them, but I only wanted to pray in solitude. I need to attend to my internal wounds and find a way to heal them.

It made me need to cry when I saw their lovely, curly-haired children. One or more of my own could have joined them after a few seasons.

I would like dispensation to pray alone when no one else is present. I need to obtain that sense of Source and feel bathed as sink into its element.

For now, a prayer rug adorns an antique cabinet I collected, and I take occasional sustenance from Medjool Dates – reminding me of the homeland.

Ancestral Dictates

It has been my goal to pre-identify, leap to the side, and avoid those presets in viral behaviorism which cause us to repeat harm to current and next generations that then propagate humanity’s descent into oblivion.

Unfortunately, if one’s partner adheres only to their family’s bias and ancestral rhythms, any attempt to reconfigure and innovate can cause the proactivist to be met by resistance, blame, and persecution as “a sinner.”

Michael Landon (1936-1991)

I dreamed last night that I passed by him at some busy event and stopped to thank him with tears of heartfelt emotion streaming from my eyes.

He had been one of the main positive male/father role models that I could count on as a child.

By the characters he chose to play, he gave me strength to cling to my higher moral values and to maintain the belief that love and kindness should always be at the core of any answer.
