"Courage, my heart."

On a journey to self-discovery, peace, healing, happiness, love, and God. Canadian/Muslim/Somali

The hadīth describes how any illness or anxiety that besets a Muslim results in purification of his soul and forgiveness for his shortcomings. Therefore, if a person is tested in this way he should be patient and expect reward from Allāh as expiation from his sins. In this context though, trouble is not sought after as the Prophet ﷺ always asked for well-being and good heath and often prayed seeking refuge from serious illness.

It is a sign of the mercy of Allāh that one sometimes has minor illnesses to make one remember Allāh’s bounty of good health and strength.

~Al-Adab Al-Mufrad pp.328-329 #494

I know I have a heart because I feel it breaking.

‘All the same,’ said the Scarecrow, 'I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one.’ 'I shall take the heart,’ returned the Tin Woodman; 'for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.’

The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum. (via the-library-and-step-on-it)

The autumn would not end. Like soap bubbles, days rose ever more beautiful and ethereal, and each of them seemed so perfect that every moment of its duration was like a miracle extended beyond measure and almost painful. In the stillness of those deep and beautiful days, the consistency of leaves changed imperceptibly, until one day all the trees stood in the straw fire of completely dematerialized leaves, in a light redness like a coating of colored confetti, magnificent peacocks and phoenixes; the slightest move or flutter would cause them to shed the splendor of their plumage - the light, molted, superfluous leafy feathers.

Amelia’s Flower Truck is this adorable, vintage Volkswagen van that parks outside shops in Nashville and sells freshly-cut flowers. The owner, Mattie, is such a sweet person and I’m so in love with this whole concept. I’m probably there at least once a week. These are some of my favourite film photos from this past weekend at White’s Mercantile.

It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it.

When you return to God after a long time away, He doesn’t judge nor keep score. In fact, it’s His very acceptance that will restore you back to intimacy again. His very grace heals you back to Himself.

I think the highest level of forgiveness is forgiving someone who does not admit nor recognize that they were wrong; it’s also the most difficult form of forgiveness.
