13 Ramadhan 1434
At 10.30 I really, really, really needed a drink. Preferably a cup of tea, but a glass of water would suffice. I'd started the day with some heavy teaching and then had to sort out some urgent panicky admin stuff. A lot more heavy teaching, without respite until 3.00 in the afternoon was facing me. My throat was a mess. So if I didn't get that drink I needed I didn't know what would happen.
Of course, I didn't get the drink. Of course, nothing happened. The day went on and the crisis was soon forgotten.
And, in a way, I knew that would be the case at 10.30 because this wasn't a new experience. Just me, learning again, that there is very little that we truly need.
