In Celebration

Eid-ul Fitr 1429

By the time I got to the mosque this morning, and I was reasonably early, it was packed and I found myself amongst those praying on the outside. The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago at the same mosque for Hari Raya Haji. It's quite a small building, lending it a pleasant intimacy, but it can't quite cope with the big occasions. No matter - it had rained a little earlier and the vegetation outside still had something of a drenched look about it, but the world felt new and refreshed, as I did.

A blue-green day.
