Lightness of Being…

Salamaat,

Please check out dear Baraka’s call for stories and writers. “We are looking for talented writers to pitch well-written, surprising and compelling anecdotes for a book on loving and looking for love while Muslim.”

I can’t wait to read the collection, love and more love is all that we need. The search for it, the finding, the celebrating, the praising, the loving…may we learn to love wholly and to heal in loving spaces. Amin.

While you are at Baraka’s blog, take a cup of chai and spend a moment strolling through her amazing, beautiful, inspired writing. Mashaallah.

From Clay, another insightful soul, has started a new blog to put his longer writings. Do read Mere Acknowledgments when you get a chance. It’s a short story that has been published in Mizna. I have wanted to publicize this for a while, but didn’t get a chance. I am still waiting for him to put up more of his longer pieces there.

That’s enough to keep you busy for a moment. I will be back soon, God willing.

Peace and chocolate cup cakes for you.
