☁️The sky broke my silence • I stare out at my view in the early hours usually. The other morning I was staring at an unusual cloud. Took a snap of it naturally. On I went to sleep and when I woke up my mind niggled at me; that’s not a cloud. • Looking at the photo again I think to myself, check if there were any fires. Lo and behold, a news article of this Tottenham fire throwing a pillar of smoke into the sky. • For me, the first light and those clouds that spray over that hour remind me of my early days of my shahada. When I would pay no attention to the hour on the clock and I would give space for my mind to pause and wonder. • Sometimes sleeping on something can give better clarity. Coming back can refresh and access things better. On the other hand, my mind can’t shake that this look like Falkor the Luckdragon from The Neverending Story 🤨
