Letter to Erin 20160511

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

Yes honey, I know you have to work with them.  I didn't tell you to oppress them.  What I'm saying is for you not to bring enemies of God into your closest confidence.  This may not be easy for you, because you're so easy to love, and you've made many sweet memories with many people.  But as we grow older, we need miracles in our life to help keep us sane and optimistic, and we can't expect God to grant us miracles if we befriend God's enemies.  I don't want to be cynical, Baby.  You will read people better with experience and the correct perspective.  I want you to be happy and happy with me, because I love you and I need you.

I had to go shopping for food today, very early, right after the dawn prayer.  I only had RM30 to spend, but I managed to buy cockles, a big fish, tofu, fish balls, won ton skins, garlic, and some tenderloin.  Not bad, huh?  Fish was the best value today.  I got a hardtail scad, and I processed it to throw out the guts, keep a couple of fillets and the liver, process the body for grilling, and put aside the head for soup.  But lunch was mini calzones, and dinner was grouper with tofu and tomatoes in marinara sauce.  My cooler is small, so whenever I buy more food, I push the older food out to be eaten ASAP.  Hungry?

Please allow me to say something to Antonia.

Dear Antonia: have you not been feeling well?  You poor thing.  Let's see... is it anxiety attacks followed by fever, heart and stomach problems?  If it is, then what you are experiencing is a reality shift.  The best way to approach it is to treat is as being high without drugs.  A natural high.  My prescription is to relax more, waste more time, eat lots of chicken and turkey and drink lots of milk, then go running to burn off the calories.  A shoulder massage should help too.  No cocktails!  Everything will be OK, inshaAllah.  Ya Allah, please help and heal Antonia.

Please make a donation of a minimum of one Euro to a worthwhile charity.
