Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
Istiqlál (Independence), 9 Mulk (Dominion) 175 B.E. - Friday, February 15, 2019 In The Midst Of All The Recklessness1 Once, in the midst of all the recklessness of daily living I questioned reality. I took out a microscope and examined my concept of divinity, my concept of humanity, and my concept of myself. I ask my soul the hard questions: Can I love God, if I don't love myself? Am I investigating truth for myself? What is family? Once, in the midst of all the recklessness of daily living I questioned reality, and I haven't been the same since.
