The Rise of Sinnerman

Things have been mad I know, but we didn't know any better. We were taught that nothing of value comes easy and, if in no pain there was no gain, we valiantly chose pain everytime. 

But I now know better, I am finally sure: Joy is what will take us there. 

This is the Rise of the Sinnerman, he has finally loved himself free.

Allah Wal Amar

As I listen to the falling rain, I thank the Creator for the peace it brings me. I hear the rain calling me as it knocks at my window. I look outside and see the trees dancing and swaying, asking me to look up at the moon in all her glory. And then I ask her: Where do you go when you disappear? Who are the ones you call your friends? When we feel you so strongly, is it because you’re swirling inside us? Do you sometimes look back at us? What do you see? And the moon replies: “I do see you…and what I see is myself in you.”
