Do You Ever Just Sit in the Back of the Car, Listening to the Laughs and the Funny Conversation, Watching the World Pass, Lights Flashing? Just Thinking about What this Life Has been, Where You’re Going, Whether You’re Going to Make it, What is Going to Happen Next if You Don’t, and Just Feeling that Crest of Anxiety, of Fear, a Toxic and intoxicating Mixture of Anticipation and Restlessness, Building so that each Breath Makes You Want to Push out of Your Body with a Desire to Change, to Fix Things, Your Pulse Beating Like a Drum, Rising and Rising, Until You Just Think of God and then its Plummets, Your Fears, Your Anxieties, Your Restlessness, and You are Just Left with the Knowledge That it is Time to Show Up and Take Advantage of the Gifts and the Opportunities that God Has Been so Gracious in Giving You But You Have Squandered, That it’s Your Time, Time to Turn Those insha Allahs into Alhamdulilahs?
Insha Allahs into Alhamdulilahs
