“How under all these circumstances could I possibly perceive the good in what comes about? I can’t even see *what* comes about, since each end (synthesis) is the new thesis against which a further antithesis appears. The becoming never ceases — there are syntheses but never a true end.”

— Philip K. Dick, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick

The mother of my best friend transitioned recently. I usually don't know what to say to ease the pain a loved one's experiencing. But this time I felt the need to tell her to say alhamdulillah. Her mother passed during the last ten days of Ramadan. Qadr. She passed while her other daughter was making umrah. This may have been the beautiful ending she was wishing for. Alhamdulillah.
