The wall calendar on my kitchen fridge reminds me that it's just 21 more BIG sleeps till Anthea returns. There is much I could write about the excitement I feel at the thought of her return, but this small poem I found today says it so much better.
When I am with you, we stay up all night,
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.
Rumi. Persia (1207-1273)

Shukran for your kid comments and encouragement. Ramadan was a very special experience for me and gave me much to think about.
I pray regularly for you and your family and for the situation in Gaza - especially with winter and fuel shortages. Stay strong.
Ma'a salama
