No time for waiting.


What am I doing?
Why am I just sitting here doing nothing?
Why am I just waiting?
What am I waiting for?
Why is it that I am positioned as a pleaser?
Am I not more than a decoration?
Don't you understand that my life,
That my time, is essential?
Don't you understand that my time is limited?
Don't you understand that I have NO time to waste?
I cannot sit here and WAIT to be of service.
I cannot sit here and WAIT to be told.
I cannot sit here and wait while OTHERS need me.
What is expected of me
Is NOT what I am meant to be.
I am a woman of substance
Not just a woman with substance.
I am a carer
Not just a server.
I think , a re-think is sorely needed.
Don't be condescending
Don't be patriachal
Don't pretend to know all
Don't pretend that I am needed.
Initial words have forged in my mind because it resounds and is equal to the actions NOW!
Oh, how unfortunate....
Most unfortunate, to waste time and life on waiting

Ramadan 24, 1438H

Assalamualaikum warahmahtullahi wabarakatuh. Assalatu wasalam ala sayyidina Muhanmmad was ala alih.  Bulan Ramadhan yang sempurna sudah mau berakhir. Ummat menjemput kedatangan malam Laylatul Qadr: sebuah malam yang disebutkan yang lebih berkah dan punya pahala yang berlebih2an; pahala berganda ; malam dimana malaikat Jibril dan semua malaikat2 lain menurun ke Bumi untuk melihatkan manusia dan mendoakkan kita. Ini ialah kepercayaan ; iman dan deen seorang muslim / mukmin. Dengan kesadaran ini kita punya harapan. Dengan harapan kita inshaallah meningkatkan keimanan. Allah zal Jalalu tidak pernah mau melimpahkan kepada manusia sesuatu, selain rasa kasih cinta; sebab itu muslim2 seluruh dunia merasa ketenangan bulan mulia ini. Kalau memang ada di tempat2, yang dalam bulan Ramadhan yang tidak nyaman , masih berperang ; artinya mereka sendiri menjauhi diri mereka daripada kegembiraan yang Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala hendak memberikan.

Aims

Although I am afraid Although I may feel weak Although destiny has been written  Nothing prepares for it’s trials  Although I may have knowledge  Although I may be courageous  Although I have my principles  Nothing but faith can lift me Although  I dread what future holds  Although life’s path is blurred Although my aim is apparent  Nothing but my self can take this road  So,  when this path is trodden Slowly will I venture  The care and caution I will use  In time I will be beholden  To experience which age has brought That will guide me towards my haven  ~lorrainenur@2018 Seems inspirations are starting once more. How I have missed it’s presence. 🌹
