Darkness

I love the darkness.

When the sky is black and the streets are quiet.

Pin-drop silence.

Prayer rug in a dark room.

The beauty before the light.

 

Dark like precious oil.

Darkness the beginning.

Darkness the origin.

I want to swim in the darkness and flirt with jellyfish.

I want to venture where no one will so I may find that which has never been seen –

and see it;

in the darkness.

 

Oh Lord I love the darkness you created.

If it wasn’t for the darkness would I have appreciated the superiority of it?

The darkness of Hira.

The darkness of the Kaaba.

The darkness of my Africa.

The darkness that rules the world.

 

Dip me in the darkness.

Find me in the darkness;

bold, deep, nourishing darkness –

I need you –

so I switch off the lights;

and I can finally see…

in the darkness.

Improve yourself

Improve yourself everyday. 

What that means is do something – however small that thing is – that will make your today better than your yesterday. For example, I didn’t cut my nails yesterday so I’ll cut them today, I didn’t wash my bed sheets yesterday so I’ll wash them today. I didn’t eat a balanced meal yesterday so I’ll eat a balanced meal today.

So everyday when you wake up think about what good thing you could do today that you didn’t do yesterday. 

These “small” improvements you do on a daily basis will add up in the long term and will make a HUGE difference to your overall being.

So don’t sit around and wait for a big miracle… enact your own small miracles everyday and sooner or later you’re gonna witness a big miracle.

Improve yourself everyday.

The Warehouse

Invite people to your warehouse and tell them there’s cake with special ingredients. Hide the cakes in the vault room and destroy the vault keys and leave lots of bread in the accessible part of the warehouse.

Open the doors.

They will come in in swarms. Once the bread has all been snatched… they will enquire about the cakes (coz they’re greedy). Tell them the cakes are in the vault but you have destroyed the keys.

Grab your popcorn and see who does what.
