Ramadan

A very beautiful sunset. 

And a hungry refeed. 

Still fasting. OMAD. 

After work. At home. 

Normally this is me. 

You know me by now! 

But...

Ramadan is coming. 

I remember in the Gulf War

Ramadan was a time of peace - and quiet. 

Ramadan is always peaceful 

If someone tells you otherwise ...

They. Are. Lying. 

Or uninformed. 

From a base of purest respect 

For a family I serve, 

I have agreed to adorn myself 

With this simple

And lovely Hijab.

For the month of Ramadan. 

Just the Hijab. 

That’s the head covering. 

I have no Abayu. 

An Abayu is the kaftan like “frock.”

Unfortunately, it makes me look 

Much older! 

lol!!

The family was so impressed 

That I took it upon myself 

To fast and wear the Hijab,

They gave me this 

Beautiful English version Quran. 

💖🐍💖

Ramadan involves Dry Fasting 

From sunup till sundown 

Every day for about a month. 

DRY fasting. 

That’s no food or water. 

Maybe 16/8 

Which is a pretty generous window. 

What a wonderful opportunity 

For healing. 

I feel so good about this 

A month in a Fasting state? 

I’m already prepping. 

They said that if can go with them

At the end of Ramadan - 

To the Mosque for a feast

To break the fast. 

I must admit. I think 

that would be awesome!
