Rolling through our blue sky
Only problem, which way do I go
With or against everything I know
Mistakes will continue to happen, daily
Praying my path brings me to you safely
It’s an old Sufi saying. First you have to fulfil your obligations respectiveley responsibilities to the best of your abilties, then you turn to the Almighty and pray that he may protect the camel from all evils.
I am with the Professor on this. Sounds to me you are about to jump off the diving board. Just look before you leap to make sure there is water in the pool. Love, Amy
I ate a ginormous bowl of popcorn last night and watched “Monster-In-Law” yet again–hilarious, have you seen it? Not sure what’s playing tonight–any suggestions?
Movie popcorn sounds great. I’ve not seen that one. I need to put it on the list. I have been wanting to watch Mermaid again. The one with Cher. Seen it?
Very good, this poem matches up very well with Rainbow Air. Such talent Audrey!

Best intro available from Harvard Professor Dr. Annemarie Schimmel, Mystical Dimensions of Islam http://books.google.de/books/about/Mystical_Dimensions_of_Islam_35th_Anniv.html?id=dCD_dUmsY80C&redir_esc=y or her Britannica entry about Sufism http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/571823/Sufism. Above book should be available as 2nd hand book, I believe, if you want to save costs. π
