“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world
remains and is immortal”
- Albert Pine
The birds are going back north.
I wonder who said that birds are free?
Though they fly in the sky freely,
If they had no place to arrive or branches to rest on,
They might even regret having wings.
What is true freedom?
It is, perhaps, having a place to go back to.

“What is the best type of Jihad [struggle]?” He answered: “Speaking truth before a
tyrannical ruler.”
Sunni Hadith
“If I were a sheep, I would know best how to run society,” said the sheep.
“Sometimes I sound more intelligent than I am.”

Someone once told me
That watching clouds move made them smile
No matter how slow time takes, the sky’s movement inspires
Although we may feel pain, we know it will drift away
In the same way happiness can be lost from our grip
And sorrow escapes
~
Someone once told me
That watching birds fly, made them want to go on a journey
From surfing the net to surfing the waves
With every step, two steps remain
There wasn’t a tear that fell, wishing regrets disappear
We walk; we’re always in the making

The roots can never experience the wonder of its blissful sunflower
The hen can never fly high like the endearing eagle
The ant can never acknowledge the greatness of giants
The mole can never sense the strength of sight
The fly can never reflect on its living time
And we can never believe in God
Unless
We break the frameworks of our minds
