Keeping Count

22 Ramadhan, 1444

Every year I try and lose myself in the timelessness offered by the fasting month, and every year I fail. Yes, there's one week, plus one day to go. Which means there's one more Thursday to fast (and one more Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.) Tomorrow is one of two Fridays left, which two sets of Friday Prayers whilst still fasting.

This is all very childish, but oddly satisfactory. Like counting down to Christmas Day when I was a kid.

Part of me has never grown up. And the part that has is mildly grateful for that, but still longs for just a bit more maturity. Maybe next year, eh?
