After a few years of watching and learning, this Holy month has finally made an impact upon me. Although I am not of the Islamic faith – it is close enough to mine that I feel this Holy month inside me. I am of The People of the Book so this actually makes sense.
This month I have tried to follow the fasting and the prayer – the communication of the spirit with the unity of the secular around me. I found that I am at peace.
For me, Ramadan 2011 has made the seas within me calm – the storms that were are gone and I see more clearly.
Of course, this goes without saying, but I have found an appreciation for the fast.
Happy Ramadan – a little belated but just as heartfelt from the first day of this Holy month!
