Mayor Mike Says #Ramadan Mubarak

NYC.gov. “There is no single reason why New York is the greatest city on earth, but chief among them is that the world’s hardest-working people come to achieve a better life for their families and simultaneously enrich and are enriched by their neighbors once here. The start of Ramadan marks the beginning of a time of fasting, prayer and reflection for New Yorkers in all Five Boroughs, and I want to extend my best wishes for this holiest month on the Muslim calendar. Ramadan Mubarak.”

Listen to the Reed

Rachel has a wonderful post on how the Divine is heard through Divine creation. It reminded of this poem of Rumi (posted many moons ago in a different context): بشنو از نى چون حكايت ميكند از جدائيها شكايت ميكند beshno az nay con hekaayat mekonad az judaa’ihaa shekaayat mekonad listen to the reed as it tells a tale as it complains of separation How beautiful is the image of humanity simply being instruments for the Divine sound?
