whenever i made pancakes in the rukn i would usually end up eating them myself: neither syrians nor britoids have acquired a taste for flapjacks, and secondly the circumstances of our kitchen/stove were such that i would usually smoke up the apartment and-or burn some.
however. pancakes this morning, and tobogganing with usman. right now he is very busy with his train.
am reviewing 'aqeedah notes with family - had forgotten the sheer /pleasure/ there is in such. with secular learning i can enjoy a class, lecture, text, but it will not have the same beauty.
"i hear people talking about how finally it is getting warmer, after such a horrible cold stretch - they are airheads." - my mother.
...because climate change is the most important issue, i think, facing humanity in the 21st century. it annoys me that muslims aren't more conscious of this. at the photo shoot yesterday (ah, tokenism, how have i missed thee.) muntaka was wearing an inane shirt with che guevara on it alongside the word "REBEL". i wasn't sure if he was trying to use the commercialized image of che to strengthen his own perhaps faltering sense of rebellion or if he was advertising the fact che himself was a rebel. either way, he looked up and "basit, there's a tree. go hug it." which is my point exactly. they say snow will melt today. it is december, for God's sake. [to Whom is all glory and praise.]
everything's gonna be alright - bob marley. don't think he knew about frobisher bay not freezing over.
...apart from exceptions as honourable as they are rare, Westerners can practically be reduced to two classes of people: the credulous, who take these high sounding arguments at their face value and believe in a "civilizing mission", unaware as they are of the barbarous materialism into which they themselves have sunk, and the astute persons who exploit this state of mind in order to gratify their own instincts of violence and cupidity.
- Rene Guenon, writing in 1927.
last exam on the 19th. until then (and even after), i seriously need your du'a.
