Real Meaning

We're gearing up to Ramadhan in the gentlest of ways. Fasting begins next Friday, but so much that is associated with the month will be lacking. Yet, none of that matters in the slightest, since the central meaning of the fast transcends all such concerns. Indeed, I have a suspicion that this fasting month will carry with it an overwhelming intensity of significance for the community such as to render it powerful beyond measure.
