so today is the start of ramadan. fasting from food n drink amongst other things but feasting on food for the spirit and soul. its only day one and so far it is going really quick. i am 4 hours in, with about 8 more to go. a few days into the month, one does experience a physical change (weight loss etc) but also a spiritual change cos fasting for sure does humble you.
a good reminder once a year for 30 days or so what everyday must feel and be like for someone who has nothing to eat and drink for days on end. at night we can at least indulge in delicious meals and go sleep in warm beds, what about the poor the needy the lost and the destitute. i hope that for me, this month is fulfilling spiritually...we all tend to wander (wonder?) sometimes and this is a perfect reminder to get back on the straight and narrow path and to get closer to God via prayer, reading qur'an and introspection....
happy fasting, ramadan mabrook, ramadan kareem
