dear Mai’a,
everytime i think about coming here and posting something i feel suddenly overwhelmed and like i have nothing to say. i know i haven’t kept up with posting like i should and i’m sorry about that.
so, here i am finally… with nothing to say. really, quite blank. so instead of trying to come up with anything remotely interesting or important to say, i’m just going to give you a couple of quotes that have been on my mind lately:
I am in the world but not concerned with the world. I am going through the marketplace, but not as a purchaser. ~ Kabir

If your principles are harming people, maybe it’s time to rethink those principles. ~ Kiri
~~~
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal. ~ John Lennon
~~~
Do (good) deeds according to your capacity. God does not tire of giving rewards unless you tire of doing good. The (good) deeds most loved by God are those that are done regularly, even if they are small. ~ Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him)
~~~
Those who regard things as determined by God turn to God in everything. ~ Nuri
~~~
There are those among you who desire this world and there are those among you who desire the world to come. But where is He who desires God? ~ Al-Shibli
