Islam

I'm just a guy who has lived an unorthodox life. I have been alone and
chained. I have seen frightening violence. I havealso wandered the
mountain trails in Central America, camped in the snows of the
Sierras, and laid on my back in the Sahara, watching a meteor shower
decorate the sky. I have witnessed the birth ofmy child, and received
great gifts. I have been so blessed by Allah, so cared for, as He
rescues me and heals my heart, again and again. I have been loved
monumentally, and have learned to love in return.
Maybe I've learned a little something, and maybe I possess the talent
to put it into words. Am I someone special? Yes, but so are you!Some
of you amaze me. Young or old, married or single parents raising
children with no help, sacrificing for your families,finding your way
in the world, working, creating, struggling, studying, teaching. I
have much to learn from you. I have a long ways to go in this life
Insha'Allah, and many strange paths to walk, and so do you. I am happy
that we are walking this path together, in this moment.
