Did you get any sleep last night? I don’t sleep. I just dream. Play me as a memory. I don’t wanna be part of the world. Where being kind is a weakness. Well, we used to look up at the sky and wonder, At our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. Why is it so important to dream? In my dreams we are still together. I’m letting life hit me till it gets tired. Then I’m gonna hit back. It’s a classic rope-a-dope. Just accept that love is rare and it probably won’t happen to you, ever. I think the only reason people hold onto memories are the only things that don’t change when everybody else does. There’s Khayr in every delay. The movie never changes. It can’t change. But everytime you see it, it seems different because you are different. The desire to know yourself will demolish all the desires. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of oversleeves. In all chaos There is cosmos, In all disorder there is a secret order. But who are you when no one is watching? Nothing is more honest than a dream. Dreams are functions. You put good intention in it and the graph is a straight line. The way you alchemize a soulless world into a sacred world is to treat everyone if they are sacred until the sacred in them remembers. You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. As within, so without. “Verily, among what I fear most for my nation is Every hypocrite with a knowledgeable Tongue.” People like me do not have people, we are the people that people have. “I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution. We became too self aware; nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody’s nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.”- Rustin Cohle. There are times when I’m not even sure I have a real life… It’s only on the stage that I feel really alive. For a certain length of time I have to become a person whom I totally believe in. I would like to be somebody who is very beautiful. There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction. “Sabran ya Nafsi.” This is not our home. If the moon can influence the tides on earth, then you too have the power to influence not only the world but also the cosmos as well. There are decades when nothing happens. There are weeks when decade happens. Patience is melancholic and beautiful. The answer you’re looking for is Sabr. It’s always Sabr. And when it’s your turn. I hope you understand why the wait was necessary. Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbbuka fatarda. There must be something strange in the salt. It is in our tears and in the sea. Isolate as much as you can to become a stranger. Even though you see that is absolutely unbearable. It is much better than the multiple masks of people. Don’t grieve anything you lose, come around in another form.

Be so confident in Allah’s plan that you don’t get upset anymore when things don’t go yourway. “But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners”Surah Al-Anfal (8:30). Your plans<<<Allah’s Plan.
