The Beauty I call Home



This picture was taken on the Oliviers Hook pass, in the Northern Drakensberg of KZN, at sunset, on the 12th April 2008. There is something so serene about the place I call home.

About Happiness

It's 4.44AM - Most normal people are asleep; though there is something very serene about the hours preceeding Fajr salaah.

I dont write here much anymore (or at all :) ) - but what the heck!

Alhamdulillah, I have been growing spiritually, nurturing my soul - lighting up my spirit - learning things, Living, being alive! Isn't that what life's all about after all? Finding our pathways... I have met so many interesting people who have inspired me recently. I have lost touch with so many people too.

I am content. Happy with my life. Learning to live for my Creator's pleasure. Loving my family more every day. Living Healthy. Writing a bit. Reading a lot. Talking a lot. Observing. Giving Thanks. Being Polite. Letting Go. Holding On (to aspirations). This is the magic which within us lies. This is the spirit that leaves and flies.

Till we meet again perhaps.
Love,
S

PS:
Special Thanks to:
Naz, Sid, Zah, Ahmed, Jameel, Fai, Zubz, F&R (and other siblings), and My Saturday Kids (and to anyone else who makes this journey so, so worthwhile, you's inspire me to achieve!) - Thanks for all the reccomended readings, long debates, small inspirations (which mean so very much), encouragement, laughter, smiles, tears, patience (And you's must have a lot of it!), coaching, conversations at thee most random hours, and above all, your love, warmth, kindness, support and everlasting friendship! My beautiful gems :) from the depths of my being, I thank You's!

Life...

Eylo there,

Its been a while and sooo many of you`s have asked me about my next posting. In all honesty i got bored of the virtual realm; and things have been busy. Anyways, i was thining about life in general, how things change, the uncertainty, the routine, the way some live and some merely exist and i thought that it would be interesting to ask two questions:

  • What defines life? and
  • If you were told that the battles of the end of this existance were here, what would be your reaction?

Personally, i think faith, family, friends, experiences (good and bad) attribute to defining life, but i just think we define life in terms of the people we learn we are. if that makes any sense :/

As for the final battles, well, perhaps it would be too late to ask for forgiveness from my Creator, but thats what i would do, and the rest, well theres naught else to do save embrace death...
