Promises

It is best to make no promises, nor to take any vows and just to leave everything unspoken and open-ended. The vastness of unspoken words is immense as well as beautiful. So let us be infinite and silent.

The boat is rocking, the tides are quite high and the times are unsure. It is a dream- no probably a scream which has taken away light from the pendant of a stream. 

Crying babies, tears of healers, pain of losing, fear of suffering tore the hearts of millions this years. Yet in the despair there appears a glimmer of hope from the steeple of faith, beaming lightly and softly yet constantly- heralding us to hold on...to hold on to the rope of faith even when our hands are bruised and bleeding through- telling us; compelling us; teaching us:                

                    “So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:     فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا  

                      Verily, with every difficulty there is relief :         إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا" *

*The Holy Quran: Surah Al-Inshirah Verses 5 & 6.
