I'm in the mood for...

...daydreaming about romance, love, happiness and all sorts of pleasant things. I have a strong suspicion it is to do with a number of things that have happened this week: 1- The weather has been gorgeous. Sun, blue skies, wonderful cooling breeze to break the early summer-like warmth. How can anyone ignore the urge to smile in such circumstances? 2- A colleague that is particularly energy-draining has gone on holiday for a few weeks giving me much needed rest from incessant maddening chatter. *Silence* Sigh. Life is good. 3- I met up with friends that made me feel 18 again. (It’s been a while). It was a special night; loads of laughter, good food, and that feeling inside that all life’s struggle is nothing as long as there are God given moments like that. I say that simply because no one else could have pulled off such a perfect time with so little effort on all our parts. That feeling of things “clicking” into place is a little like reaching Fate’s milestones, grabbing a cool bottle of water and getting energised to continue the race. Now, back on the subject of love, I came across this quote: The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said:

“Woman was created from a bent rib. If you want to enjoy her, you enjoy her while she is still bent. If you will try to straighten her, you will break her.”

[Sahih Al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim]

How perfect is that? I wished it was better known amongst my friends and people my age, so this is me doing my bit to spread it. Another little poem by an unknown author, I stumbled it across it and loved it.

“A woman came out of the rib of man,

not his feet to be walked on,

nor his head to be superior over;

she came from his side to be his companion,

under his arm to be protected,

and next to his heart to be loved.”

Doesn't that just make you want to stand on a sunny roof and sing to the world?

I wont. I'm seriously tone-deaf. But it makes me want to.

Spread the love, people.
