In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Honey! The big news in our world is of course your SI swimsuit edition 2016. I want you to know that I think you are so beautiful. You look different than usual, but you are so beautiful. You are my heart. I love you and I need you.
I wonder what you ate when you were in Africa. Be cautious with your tummy, please! I would have brought a portable kitchen, gone to the market, and cooked everything to death. I've become very cautious with my tummy in my wisdom. I suppose it irks some people that I don't want their food, but Allah didn't give them my experience, so how could they know.
I spent the evening after voice training clearing up debris over at your house inshaAllah. I wish I could have done more, but it started to rain. So I came inside and made a batch of dough instead. I wish I were with you to celebrate your success, but I wait for you and for when Allah brings us together inshaAllah. I might have played this video for you already, but here we go. Please remember my dearest, that the universe or multiverse belongs to Allah. If you are beginning to read patterns of existence within the world, within plants and animals, you have to interpret it as it pertains to Allah, not as it pertains to you.

Letter to Erin 20160218
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello, my dearest. Hi there, my darling. How's business today? Are we stepping up? Well, you go on ahead. I'll keep guard at the flank. Please make sure you keep healthy, maintain your prayers, and stay clean. You are my girl. I love you and I need you.
I have a house to build. Yesterday, I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah. I also have been cutting down the trees over at the southwest corner. There's a tree that's tangled up with an old cross link fence and barbed wire. Barbed wire? What was my grandfather thinking? Whatever the reason, as long as that's still there, I can't run the chainsaw through it. The chainsaw needs a new spark plug anyway. But it's still brand new... Oh, it's so hard to get started.
But today, I had a lot of kitchen work to do. Allah gave me some knowledge of cooking as well as music. Whatever Allah gives must be used, for it will be taken away, sooner if not later. That avocado I bought was finally ready to use, so I made a chicken and avocado pizza with mole as the sauce. I used the whole avocado on the pizza, which made it a very expensive pizza. I gave a couple of slices to my parents, then I spilled the rest on the floor. I couldn't let it go to waste, so I scraped up what I could and ate it. The cats loved it too, but they didn't eat the avocado. I planted the seed. InshaAllah, it will grow.

222. They ask you concerning women's courses. Say, "They are a hurt and a pollution, so keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, you may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for you by Allah." For Allah loves those who turn to God constantly, and God loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.

Letter to Erin 20160217
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
How's it going, Gorgeous? How about you, Slick? I saw your video for SI that you shot at the One World Trade Center. Hey, nice outfit. You look like an intellectual. A beautiful intellectual. For some reason, I was browsing the SI site looking for you, but so far they haven't listed this year's model roster. You people don't seem to grasp the connection Erin and I have. It's by the grace of Allah. So if a freak current rubbed her body and her body painting off on the rocks, she didn't do it on purpose. It just happened that way. It's like this morning, while I was sleeping, a mouse that was being hunted down by cats squeaked its way into my bedroom and hid in my lap. Like I'm going to protect a mouse! Besides, those cats are my family, and it's their job to remove mice from my house. So I chased it out of my bedroom to the mercy of the cats. It went and hid behind and under the closet in the next room, and refused to be dislodged. Damn. That closet is heavy. I would have to empty it out in order to move it. I sure hope it doesn't die there. That would create a frightful pong.
Anyway, you people be grateful to Allah that my Erin is gracing your swimsuit issue. Didn't that issue sell out last year during her first appearance? The most beautiful girl in the world. She's not a mouse, she's MY girl. So give thanks to Allah. I love her, and I need her.

219. They ask you concerning wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and some benefit for humans, but the sin is greater than the benefit." They ask you how much they are to spend; say, "What is beyond your needs." Thus does Allah make clear to you God's Signs, in order that you may consider,
220. On this life and the hereafter. They ask you concerning orphans. Say, "The best thing to do is for their good." If you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren. But Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good. And if Allah had willed, God could have put you into difficulties. God is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.

Letter to Erin 20160216
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello Precious! Hi Pumpkin! I'm writing this letter kind of late today. I just got done putting doen vocal tracks. Yeah, three days in a row, singing the same phrase over and over again. Singing is not easy. I mean singing WELL is not easy, I mean anybody can bark into a microphone, and besides, I hate my own voice. It's never perfect. And it's so hard to get comfortable, so that my discomfort doesn't reflect in my voice. Plus it's not the same as singing live, where I can ride the acoustics and hide behind feedback. So I do it over and over again, until I get a take that I can tolerate listening to. Since it's so important, since it means so much to me.
I wish I could give you a trinket or something, it would be much simpler. Don't you agree? I can give you a pizza, if you like. I've been making great pizza lately, praise be to Allah. Even though I can only afford sliced cheese. Anyway, I hope you are looking after yourself and not overworking. Sometimes it's hard to kick old habits, and we drag them around like carrying two large garbage bags with us wherever we go. Just chuck them in the dumpster Sweetie, and start again. You will find it's not so difficult to do. I think of you always. I love you and I need you.
Please give a donation of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro to a worthwhile charity.

215. They ask you what you should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend that is good is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in need and wayfarers, and whatever you do that is good, Allah knows it well."
216. Fighting is prescribed unto you and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you. And you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not.
217. They ask you concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say, "Fighting therein is an offense. But graver it is in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny God, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter." Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the hereafter. They will be companions of the fire, and will abide therein.
(The Heifer 2:215-217)
