Hard Lessons

Ramadhan 29 1429

O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you… That you may learn self-restraint… Simple, isn't it? Not really, I'm afraid. Controlling hunger & thirst is tough, but superficial. An outward sign of something more radical, more transformatory. And far more difficult to achieve. A challenge to remake the self. Another year of failure. But the chance to begin again, again is always there, regardless of season.
