Doing Nothing By Halves

15 Ramadhan, 1440

Noi started her biscuiting in earnest today. She was wondering out loud if she would be able to get everything done in time for the end of Ramadhan and it occurred to me that, as usual, she'd lost count of the days. She always underestimates the number of days gone by, happily losing herself in the experience.

In stark contrast I'm entirely aware we're at exactly the halfway mark since, as usual, I'm rather pathetically counting the days down. I used to think that eventually I'd rise above doing so - but that superior self has yet to emerge. Let's hope the inferior self maintains strength and direction in these testing days to come, indeed beyond the limits of this special month.
