New Morning

1 Muharam 1434

It’s always useful to be offered a new beginning. And living in this Far Place involves access to all sorts of starting points. We have three New Years, for example, and those are just the ones I’m aware of.

Today sees us setting out into 1434, in terms of the Islamic calendar. Just one thousand, four hundred and thirty-four years ago saw the formation of possibly the most remarkable community this rather remarkable world of ours has seen.

I’m celebrating it simply by recognising the possibility of hope.
