If writing had any real power, I could write my mother a letter that said, No second heart surgery because the first was enough, & the period at the end of this sentence would make sure of it. I could cross out the word pain & it would die on the spot.

Do you know what I want of life? / That I can be with you, you, all of you, / and if life repeated a thousand times, / still you, you, and again, you.

home is wherever the grief washes off your hands with the most ease. love nothing that can’t fit into your smallest pockets, and I will always be with you.

E i d  M u b a r a k ~ to everyone with a dysfunctional family, a broken family or no family.To everyone who’s too tired to get out of bed, and feels unworthy of happiness. To everyone already fighting their demons. To everyone in a war torn country, or nowhere near home. To everyone who’s celebrating in a country that doesn’t, so it just doesn’t feel right. I pray that you all have a blessed day and a wonderful week.

In the relationship to God and forgiveness, human being should not be obsessed by the conscience of his guilt, for his transgressions are natural and even wanted by the One: God is waiting for human being to access the need of Him with the profound will to come back to Him with gratitude, trust and love. He invites man not to drown in his own fault but to grow up and rise in His love. His forgiveness is hoped with our love and it is offered by His love.

There are souls that you feel to lean forward to, like a sun-filled window.

Nabra’s story has me so shaken up because it’s so…normal and something we all do. You assume you’re safe because you’re with a group, and it’s Ramadan. Forgetting that islamophobia and hate knows no bounds. May Allah grant her family sabr and her the highest ranks in Jannah 😔

Please recite a Fatiha for those who lost their lives tonight in the bombing which occured in the city of Karrada, Baghdad tonight in Iraq. Some families will wake up for Suhoor with one or two less members. How unfortunate .. during this blessed month. Keep their families in your prayers please.

You walk into a bar and you find God. You walk into a bar and you find another girl. You walk into a bar and find God in that girl and somehow she sees him, too. Holding your hand. Walking your feet in her direction. You walk into a bar and you fall in love and love looks like every apology you couldn’t say, and love looks like redemption and forgiveness and it looks like this girl with her hands on your body, between your thighs, licking your mouth open with hers. You fall in love with God and that girl becomes yours. You fall in love with that girl and God finds you, holding his hand, against all odds, smiling into that eternal light.
