May 04th – Chicago

Suddenly,

it feels as though life never stands still

circles shift,

faces enter,

faces fade,

and nothing holds its place for long.

Even beliefs loosen,

re-form,

become new.

Yet everything turns

around one silent pillar

Him.

He.

Thee.

To see this clearly takes time.

The process is not always kind,

but I am strangely fascinated

by the recognition of it

even the heart refuses constancy.

And I wonder,

quietly,

what waits for me next.

I pray

that my steps fall upon the right path.

My past is full of gentle treasures

I carry with gratitude

but here, now,

today,

I learned something simple and profound:

Striving for good,

seeking to transform one’s state,

does not contradict contentment.

السعي في تحصيل الخير وتغيير الحال لا يتنافى مع الرضا
