So, you are my mate, come and dance with me and follow my lead. As the dominoes fall, we shall see that there is no such thing as coincidence or luck, it's just that our human scope is too meager to notice the connections and nuances. Or we are simply too self-absorbed to care about anything else than "what's in it for me."
I finally got all that trash burned even though most of it was wet, there were enough dry pieces to burn up the rest. Just in time for the next storm, too: it's getting rather dark out there. I don't know if I would get a chance to blog my love for you today. I have to fry some fish for my Mom, hang up her wash, then cook my own meal. Today's menu is teriyaki beef, then I have to cook up a batch of chili. A batch of chili takes hours to brew, but I should be able to get it done while I do my vocal training and gardening in the afternoon. There's still much to do: I have to clean out all the vegetation in the path of the brick wall I plan to build. Which is not easy, because the plants here regenerate very quickly. Please forgive me for not starting on the inside yet, as it is, I'm too lazy to even keep up with myself. But insyaAllah, I'll put in a more vaunted effort once the modifications have taken place. For now, the yard looks better than the house, so the first thing to do is to paint the outside wall. No money for paint yet!

Qur'an 20111011
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
30. Thus have We sent you among a people before whom have peoples passed away, in order that you might rehearse unto them what We sent down unto you by inspiration. Yet do they reject the Compassionate One! Say, "God is my Lord! There is no god but God! On God is my trust, and to God do I turn!"
31. If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak... but truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the believers know, that had Allah willed, God could have guided all humankind? But the unbelievers, never will disaster cease to seize them for their deeds, or settle close to their homes, until the Promise of Allah comes to pass, for verily, Allah will not fail in God's promise.
32. Mocked were the messengers before you, but God granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally God punished them. Then how was God's requital!
33. Is then God Who stands over every soul, over all it does...? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say, "But name them! Is it that you will inform God of something God knows not on earth, or is it a show of words?" No, to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back from the Path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.
34. For them is a penalty in the life of this world, but harder is the penalty of the Hereafter, and they have no defender against Allah.
35. The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: beneath it flow rivers, perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein. Such is the end of the righteous, and the end of the unbelievers is the fire.
36. Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what has been revealed unto you. But there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say, "I am commmanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with God. Unto God do I call, and unto God is my return."
The Thunder 13:30-36
