After being cooped up indoors (alone) for almost a week (not self-isolating because of covid19 I should say), I decided to venture out for some fresh air and some supplies and alas, everywhere (shopping malls, streets, roads, etc.) was more or less deserted!

The skies were very noticeably beautifully blue. It was so eerily quiet & felt surreal. It made me reflect on some of the stories I have read in the Quran and brought it home for me as to how small and powerless we humans are.

These are times for reflection and going deep, for resetting, for loving and helping those who require support in anyway we can; in other words, doing God’s work.

Today is Mother’s Day, we are all advised to stay indoors which would probably mean those whose children have flown the nest, will not get to physically spend time with them. You can connect virtually though (or break put the family albums and videos) not the same but remember, these are unprecedented times so we’ve got to innovate and do things in unprecedented ways.

Happy Mother’s Day all. Stay safe and be kind & helpful. Wishing you much love and comfort during these unprecedented times.
