O Youth!


"O youth!
Live as you will, you are mortal!
And love what you will, you will leave it!
And do what you will, you will be rewarded accordingly!"


... Dear Beloved Son, Imam al-Ghazali

The closer I am to the exit, the more certain I am that life is eventually about letting go.

saedah,
we own nothing that allows us to keep, even of ourselves. we acquire things on our journey and then we re-distribute them with beautiful grace. that is a khalifa :)

reminds me of the song (ok, this is weird) by err... madonna: "to have and not to hold"
