Be in the world like a traveller: neither here nor there...but somewhere in the middle...

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2008/07/neither-here-nor-therebut-somewhere-in.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Neither here nor there.but somewhere in the middle. And keep yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His Face; and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, and who follows his own lusts, and whose affair has been lost." (Qur'an 18:28). Posted by Aisha Shillingford.

Be in the world like a traveller: in progress

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2009/02/in-progress.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Thursday, February 12, 2009. From the sea of public opinion. A voice suggested, Yes we can. A strange whisper of hope. Fell on skeptical ears. But soon travelled throughout all the land. A call for change stirred the hearts of the people. A sleeping monster began to awake. This country was great once before", they all thought. We can do it again for God's sake! So they rolled up their sleeves. And they took to the streets. This is OUR time! Let's ignite the flame!

Be in the world like a traveller: Mercy

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2009/08/mercy.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Monday, August 24, 2009. God said, "When God willed the Creation in to being He made a pledge to Himself and wrote in His Book that is kept with Him, 'My mercy is predominant over My anger.'". On this reading however, I am reminded of the Chapter of the Qur'an named for God's descriptive attribute Ar-Rahman, The Most Merciful (Chapter 55). Line after line the chapter highlights one or another of God's Creation and links the provision of this to His attribute of Mercy:.

Be in the world like a traveller: Reality Check

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2009/02/reality-check.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Thursday, February 12, 2009. Why can't people be free. To determine their OWN identity? Instead of it being determined bythe likes of VH1 and MTV. You see, the "Real World" and "Survivor" will NEVER be MY reality. No one cares what the world looks like through my eyes. MY revolution sure as heck will not be televised. Instead they will show me images of the person they want me to be. An image that makes it impossible to be free. I've clean forgotten who I'm supposed to be.

Stumbling towards career….and faith. Newer posts →. March 23, 2009. I am not prepared for this. I walk in thinking that I will perform the mandatory coo and then walk out, serenely immutable. Life has other plans for me, as it usually does. I’m an obvious baby-greeter: card, flowers for Mom; wrapped gift for Big Sis, and an unwrapped teddy bear for Baby are all somehow balanced in my arms as I ask for Maternity. I’m pointed down the hall: fourth floor. I am engulfed by a desire to take her and tuck her s...

Be in the world like a traveller: A New Page

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-page.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Thursday, February 12, 2009. A sigh of relief. Tangled remnants of my former self at my feet. Bitter memories march a slow retreat. Swept up and thrown away. With it goes the pain, the anger, the chains. I feel so free now. I am one step closer to finding my true self. Why is it that identity is such an issue for me? Tightly wound curls twisting 'round my finger. Who would have thought I would have come full circle? Sweet brown skin, Caribbean Queen. Change is in the air.

Be in the world like a traveller: Bird Song

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2009/08/bird-song.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Her presence lingers thick over the water. Like a dense fog that refuses to lift. Fireflies sing a song of God's light. Evasive, leading her down a road that does not turn back. Hesitation becomes an embrace. And layers reveal tiny birds whose cacophonies ease into soft murmurs. These birds do not take flight but remain caged in their fragile houses. They are not confined, rather they confine themselves. Refusing to dream of the possibility.

Be in the world like a traveller: July 2008

http://ladytraveller.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Be in the world like a traveller. Friday, July 25, 2008. All Organizing is Dis-organizing and Re-organizing. My role at my job has changed. I've been charged with coordinating the new Community Organizing initiative that we are about to embark on within the Muslim Community in Boston. I must admit, it's an exciting but somewhat daunting task. Under the guidance of the Lead Organizer at GBIO we will be stepping out in a new direction. Hello, Muslims it's time for change!
