TESTING TESTING...

Just making sure the sound is working because I thought I heard " I am Muslim, And I am scared"

While I fully respect those individuals who are, after all we are human,

I want to speak into this mic on behalf of thousands of other Muslims..

" I am Muslim and I am not scared"

I am nervous but not scared.

Scared is a a part of me but not the essence of what Islam nurtures me to be. 

We are taught that there is Allah, the one and absolute God, The great who everything belongs to.

You, me, trump, scared, nervous...all belongs 

A trust in God

It is a trust that is a discipline 

It is a trust that is love

It is a trust that is hope

It is a trust that is inevitable

Trust that understands the mysterious give and take balance of life and that doing of God

And it is a trust that is not Trump

I know who my God is and alive or dead, slain or kept alive I will still know who my God is.

For this world is only for a while and human beings have only been alive for  a second compared to the age of this universe and other existed beings. Count to 3 and we are gone, And what is left?

To all Muslims, non Muslims, friends, family

You have my strength and reminder that

We are never alone. 

And for this yet again is another lesson, another testing, testing....test
