Out Of Time

23 Ramadhan, 1441

One week of fasting left. It will pass quickly and it will pass slowly. Earlier today Noi was rightly talking about how quickly Ramadhan has gone, yet we seem to have been fasting a long time. That's the way it is when it becomes your normal state. No more moments of forgetfulness when you half get up to make a cup of tea. Your body has come to an understanding of the way things are and is at peace with those conditions. No more headaches - just occasional moments in which you realise just how weak you feel, but you're secure in the knowledge those feelings will pass, and pass quickly since strength lies in restraint. But it wouldn't matter if those feelings passed slowly since the point is to step out of time.
