Eid Fitr Mubarak

Filed under: Just Personal, Religion — Eman at 2:37 pm on Saturday, October 13, 2007

Ramadan is over, that was really quick.
Yesterday, the first day of Eid Al-Fitr in Tunisia -as well as most of the Muslim countries- was a sunny, unbelievably hot day in Tunisia. Today to our surprise, we woke up to a cloudy sky. It’s cold, insanely windy, and raining like crazy.
It’s around 3 p.m., but the darkness outside makes it feel like 8 p.m.
I must admit that I really miss winter, and I don’t mind the rain nor the wind.
Despite the fact that we’re trapped at home, and although my laundry is all wet now, and although water is leaking inside the apartment, but I must admit I’m LOVING IT!
I just hope the hot days have really come to an end and wont return… not any time soon.

Happy Eid Al Fitr everyone!

Eid Mubarak to the three of you.

Your blogging so much in German of late inspired me to dig out Rilke, which then reminded me of why I don’t often dig out Rilke. :) This one isn’t bad quite as esoteric. (You’ll pardon the English version, I trust? :) )

Who says that all must vanish?
Who knows, perhaps the flight
of the bird you wound remains,
and perhaps flowers survive
caresses in us, in their ground.

It isn’t the gesture that lasts,
but it dresses you again in gold
armor -from breast to knees-
and the battle was so pure
an Angel wears it after you.

“What Survives”

Cheers,

J.

Hasn’t Ramadan gone too fast? I thought it was just me!

My belated wishes of a happy Ramadan to you!
