Letter to Erin 20160317

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

Hello there, my precious sweetheart.  How are you feeling right now?  You're probably all engrossed with business as usual.  Don't be so serious, and try to have fun at it.  Of course being well-rested helps one's attitude, please make sure you get your sleep.  I tried to take a nap before voice training today, but just couldn't lock into Sleepyland.  Which would would have helped me through voice training, because I almost put myself into a coma.  Those love songs really make me drowsy, especially with my voice bouncing around in my skull at high volume, makes me forget to breathe.  But sleep comes when it comes, right?  We should at least try.  I try to make my schedule conform around sleep.  Wouldn't that be nice?

Do you remember that female papaya tree with 3 heads that was growing in my yard?  One head fell off, right?  Well, the tree fell over yesterday.  It was still alive when it fell over, but papaya trees don't live long anyway.  I guess I don't need the fruit.  It's still super hot around here, but not as bad as before that rainfall a couple of days ago.  It's as if God is cranking up the humidity, and teasing us with rainfall, or the lack thereof.  I bought a kilo of mackerel yesterday, so I had mackerel sashimi yesterday.  For dinner today is Siamese hot sour soup (Tom Yam) with rice vermicelli and mackerel.  Delicious.  Alhamdulillah.  Want some?  I love you and I need you.

Qur'an 20160317

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

60.  The Truth from your Lord alone, so be not of those who doubt.

61.  If anyone disputes in this matter with you now after knowledge has come to you say, "Come!  Let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

(The Family of Imran 3:61-62)
