I really don’t feel like sharing food posts this Ramadan, so instead a bit of food for thought 💁🏻♀️
In a recent desert experience, where we were pampered with all types of “luxuries” proper seating, a dinner table, a ready pit fire, a toilet… yes in the desert what we take for granted in everyday living are luxuries !! And still we find the experience a bit of a workout! Of course the weather was cool we chose a time in the year where such experience is pleasant.. it makes you think, how did they do it?! All year long, no such luxuries and of course they build it all themselves rather than go and find it fully set up… it’s #Ramadan and in our air conditioned rooms, our comfortable beds, our tvs and phones and we find it hard to pass the time, to get over thirst, to be comforted!! To think that this whole Ramadan fasting we do today came out of an area that is harsh, with little comforts, little distractions and at times extreme weather… for those people (who in comparison to us almost had nothing) to teach us patience, considering others, adapting, finding inner peace and strength! With all our comforts, technologies, luxuries and distractions most of us can’t even carry out this 30 day excercise! We can hardly even see the blessings in our lives! What is their secret? #Ramadan2023 #thedesertway #contemplate ...
