Hi Julia, you intense thing you. Your intensity may scare others, but I LOOOVE how intense you are. Woooo! I pray you are taking good care of yourself and your lovely body. Please make sure you are eating peoperly, and getting enough beauty rest. The fasting month was a time of plenty for this poor musician: there was always some free food somewhere everyday, so I was spoiled. Now, reality has sunk back in, and I am back to cooking rice twice a day, and processing leftovers, and unwanted plant and animal parts, into some sort of creative cuisine. My Mom gave me all sorts of traditional cookies for the Eid, but I can't stomach all of them, so I have to try to find some sort of use for them. For instance, I can't eat those crumbly cookie types, so I used them as a breadcrumb substitute for fried chicken. Hm.
Anyway, I have to remind you again to please be patient. Use your intensity to start to slow down: slow everything down, take forever to do things. When we get together insyaAllah, the goal is to slow things down even more. The purpose is to appreciate the time we have together, to seek the best solutions to our trials, to savor whatever little happiness that comes our way, to give our hearts the pleasure of beating. Why would you seek security in a relationship, namely marriage? Because we are not getting younger, so slow things down.
The intensity level in general is very high, not just in my case, but because Judgement Day gets closer and closer. So we must slow down. I am building an ark, would you join me? To set sail to you, little by little, piece by piece. Oh, so slowly.

Qur'an 20110904
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
32. They said, "O Noah! You have disputed with us, and you have prolonged the dispute with us. Now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you speak the truth!"
33. He said, "Truly Allah will bring it on you, if God wills, and then you will not be able to frustrate it!"
34. Of no profit will be my counsel to you, much as I desire to give you counsel. If it be that Allah wills to leave you astray, God is your Lord! And to God will you return.
35. Or do they say, "He has forged it?" Say, "If I had forged it, on me were my sin! And I am free of the sins of which you are guilty!"
36. It was revealed to Noah, "None of your people will believe except those who have believed already! So grieve no longer over their deeds."
37. But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration, and address Us not on behalf of those who are in sin, for they are about to be overwhelmed.
Hud 11:32-37
