I can sense Your guidance and I can feel myself change my ways.
My heart is calming and I am learning this virtue called “patience.”
The critic in my mind has silenced and has stopped spewing hatred.
My love for simple and pure things is growing and the fog has lifted to a bright view.
My soul is craving peace and I can feel the enlightenment breaking through all my barriers.
You are my Provider, my Preserver and my Protector.
Alhamdulillah for EVERYTHING!

An ode to my love for nature and all its healing
My true inspiration: the Quran
And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in it mountains and We have made to grow therein
of all beautiful kinds,To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns frequently (to Allah). Surah al-Qaf [50:7-8]
The beauty in nature not only served as a reminder for me but it helped me find myself and therein, I found God.
Here’s something I wrote when I was craving that serenity, part of which is captured perfectly in the picture above of Lexvegas 😉
To all the places that gave me the piece of mind that let me indulge in the serenity; my heart is forever grateful.
The wind that stirred my emotions and lulled them into place, setting them with a cool whisper of a breeze, I need you again.
The green of the trees and speckles of colors from the flowers, a great pleasure to my sight, awaken my spirit and cheer me up again.
The smell and sound of water nearby, directing me along, hold my senses and guide me once again.
To all the places where I found myself again and again, I long for you once again.
