22 Ramadhan, 1441
One of the peculiar things about going out to shop is how close to normal the world is out there, despite the fact we are living through strange times. On the way to the supermarket I'm frequently reminded of the simple yet profound pleasure of sitting down for tea and cake which, I suppose, is a typical feature of life during the fasting month anyway - the frequent reminders, I mean, not the eating and drinking. So, as in every Ramadhan I'm reminded of just how privileged I am to be able to enjoy an ordinary life (in normal circumstances) with its deeply satisfying rewards.
Must confess though, I'm looking forward to getting back some of those rewards soon.
