Letter to Julia 20130102

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi there, Julia my love.  How are you feeling today?  How is the new year treating you?  I'm sorry I haven't written since Monday.  I suddenly had a lot of official things to do.  No, I didn't plan it.  It was a go-with-the-flow, spur of the moment thing, just the kind of person I am, I'm afraid.  I also have a lot of homework to do, all of a sudden.  Asia is the happening place to be!  Yes, I can sense that you want to build your fashion capital in Paris or something, with your buddies.  But Asia is it, insyaAllah.  Anywhere else is simply out of style.  Please don't dispute with the Power of God.  Please slow down, my beloved.  It's nice and tranquil here in the kampung, great for raising children.  I'm too lazy to travel anymore.  Let them come to you.

Our Lord!  Perfect our light for us, and grant us forgiveness.  For You have power over all things.
