Letter to Erin 20160529

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

Hi, beautiful Erin!  How are you today, my lovely Sweetheart?  I pray that you are feeling absolutely great, and are keeping safe.  I wish I were with you, honey.  I have to build a house first, so please be patient with me.  For now, I love looking at how beautiful you are, and reading each half of your face.  Allah will bring us together, inshaAllah.  Please have faith in Allah to grant us this miracle of love.  Do not take as friends or protectors those who mock your faith, whether they claim to believe in God or not.  You are my wife, inshaAllah.  I love you and I need you.

What did you eat today, dear?  I had a rather busy morning, which I didn't anticipate.  I opened up some coconuts, had them grated, made coconut milk, then made my generic curry, among all the other tasks I usually do.  I went and got some glutenous rice for my Mom and she got me a pack, so that's what I had for lunch, along with some fish jerky.  I could have eaten more, but I thought it would be enough food.  But it wasn't.  I started off with voice training at full steam, then suddenly after an hour I had to make a crash landing.  My feet wouldn't work, so I had to finish the set sitting down.  This is the first time I sat down to sing in years.  Hey, I kind of like it... but standing up is better.

Hm, fasting month is about one week away.  This means I must have my large portions to sing, and this means I absolutely have to stuff myself in the wee hours of the morning without exception.  This is a man's body: no dainty portions, must have bread and meat!  So for dinner, I made a heaping bowl of noodles in thick broth.  And must snack, as well.  It's time to encoding tonight, so no bass practice.

Please allow me to say something to Antonia.

Qur'an 20160529

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

59.  Say, "O people of the Book!  Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

60.  Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah?  Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those whom some God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshiped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path."

(The Repast 5:59-60)
