Letter to Erin 20160331

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

Hello there, my Beloved.  How's it going, pretty girl!  Are you keeping your nose clean?  Oh my God, it's April already.  How's business, my love?  Are you living on a jet plane?  I hope you are keeping safe.  I want to build your house, so we can settle down together.  I want to marry you.  I love you and I need you.  Now don't get too serious!  It will give you crow's feet!  Relax your heart and thoughts, have fun with your success, and feel assured that YOU are MY girl, not them.

Yes, it's business as usual for me here as well.  I've been keeping the windows shut so I can keep the cold air in, but that also keeps the music in.  Of course it can be heard if one is close enough or has a microphone, but otherwise I need to do some rearranging to let the music travel better.  I paid my bills today, but I had to commute twice because not every place here opens at 9 am.  Gag.  I hate commute.  It's one of the low points of civilization.  Somebody should invent the teleporter quickly.  Beam me up.  I won't be practicing any musical instruments tonight, because I'll be moving and testing speakers.  You have a good day now, Erin.  Take it easy.

Qur'an 20160331

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

154.  After the distress, God sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, moved by wrong suspicions of Allah, suspicions due to ignorance.  They said, "What affair is this of ours?"  Say you, "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's."  They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to you.  They say, "If we had had anything to do with this affair, we should not have been in the slaughter here."  Say, "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death."  But that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts, for Allah knows well the secrets of your hearts.

(The Family of Imran 3:154)
