greetings of peace
In the Name of God, Limitlessly Compassionate, Endlessly Merciful...
Greetings of peace to the world and to emptiness.
I wonder whether anyone will end up reading this...
I suppose it is primarily a convenient place for me to scribble down whatever comes into my head. Sometimes thoughts cannot be known or understood until they are expressed, like the pieces of a jigsaw that must be taken out of the box and structured to reveal their reality.
The traditional format for this used to be a journal or diary, or so I gather from the long-bearded, toothless (and therefore wise?) ones. Yet am I like most Gen X-ers who tend to spend more time in front of the computer than with pen (that leaks) and paper (that gets lost)?
Anyway, I came across a some blogs (quite by accident - I am not particlularly internet savvy) and thought it seemed like a good idea at the time. So I may or may not update this blog, depending on whether I actually have any thoughts worth writing. Some may be fragments of remembered conversations, some echoes of memories or dreams. Others may be me trying to make sense of something in my mind - a task in which I may or may not be successful.
The Blessed Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) said, 'each of you is a mirror to his brother.' That is to say, one sees in others those aspects of the self that cannot be seen unless reflected. So my friends, unseen and unknown, yet mirrors of my soul: I thank you and ask that - like mirrors - you be patient with both my flaws and my vanities.
And peace and blessings upon the best of mankind, his family and companions, and all those who follow in their footsteps of guidance - and may we all be among them.
was salam, talib
PS: A word of warning: I guarantee neither sense nor coherence, much less truth and verity. I'm only human.
