dear aaminah,
i am at the beach. in dahab. in the sinai. right now it is iftar, the maghreb call to prayer is resounding over the red sea. i am staring at the water and the mountains on the opposite coast that line saudi arabia.
i am amazed by the amount of stress that i carry in my body usually. amazed to feel that stress draining out of me as i stare out to the ocean, eat dinner with instant friends, and dance salsa and bachata at night with the sound of the sea in the background.
there are no great realizations. just gratitude for being able to feel the wind and water and the sand. watching full moon rise over the red sea. watching aza swim in the salty water.
am practicing to have no expectations. to simply take existence as it comes.
whenever whatever.
