dear aaminah,

we have a new apartment.  it is lovely.

my body is healing in its own way and on its own time.

aza’s new room is her favorite color, purple, walls and ceiling.

we are going to beach in the sinai this weekend with my in laws.

i own three new dresses and a pair of red converse shoes.

the air in the apartment is cool enough that i am not sticky or wet.

my apartment is on the fifth floor and surrounded by trees.

aza believes that she has pretty hair.

i am surrounded by good books.

these are material things and i am very grateful for them, but, i am even more grateful for:

this moment in all of its complexity.  this spirit that offers love.  this energy that fills me and renews me and then propels me into the world.

ramadan is generous.
