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

Aaaaa!  Busy, busy!  The Qur'an won't let me rest this week.  Sweetheart I love you with all my heart, but I don't usually blog everyday.  It's the commute that's the problem: fame can be a real drag.  You ought to know what I mean, people wanting to touch you all the time and shit like that.  In my case, people wanting to touch me with their vehicles while driving at top speed.  No, it's not a blessing.  If I had a home Internet connection, I would write everyday inshaAllah, I would at least keep some sort of diary/love letter.  But this week I have to post the Qur'an everyday.  I'll take this Friday off, though.  I need to cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah.

When we are married, you're going to have to put up with me everyday.  I warn you now, I'm a lazy slob musician.  I like to sleep on the floor.  Even if I were a billionaire, I would still sleep on the floor.  I can spend long hours working on music and computers.  I can spend long hours just watching TV.  I like my own cooking: Allah gave me some knowledge of cooking, and that helps me get out of the house and get busy.  For dinner today is fried spring rolls.  I've been working on cutting down the grease, and I'm getting close to a system.  Today's flavor is chicken curry, tofu, cilantro and onion.  I had some leftover chicken curry, so I drained out the water, and mixed it in with the other ingredients, rolled them up, and fried them.  Hey, it worked!  Want some?  Quite filling, actually.  I didn't eat your portion.  I put it in the cooler for later.

So are you learning to relax and ride the spiritual wave?  Do you know what I mean?  Yeah fame can be a real drag, but I learned after a while that no matter how hard you work, wherever you go there you are: you would be just as famous (or not famous) anyway.  So why overwork?  Work when you have to.  Work when you're motivated.  Float through work.  Dream through work.  I dream of you.  I love you, and I need you.

Qur'an 20150312

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

53.  Say, "O servants who have transgressed against their souls!  Despair not the mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins, for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
