    Remembrance of Things Past

    Filed Under inspiration, islam, media, nostalgia, spiritual practice 

    This excellent 5 minute video won a national contest, and brought back some memories for me of being a young Muslimah trying to do my faith thing in a non-Muslim world. This made me think of the current UUA/YRUU troubles, and … I don’t know. I felt sentimental. I’m so not a kid anymore, but some of the same issues still linger. In any case, watch the video. It manages to be both dead-on and inspiring. (And who knows, maybe even evangelical.) What do you all think?

    *** The website this video is posted to (netmuslims.com) was sent to me today by an old friend I haven’t spoken to in over a decade. He manages netmuslims.com and says I first taught him how to design a website, for which he’ll “always be thankful.” Who’d a thunkit?

      Nice. Everyone should relate to that on a basic level: be who you are.

      Yes, there is that universal message in there. Be who you are, and you may find you are not so alone as you thought. I think my fave part is when she tries to pray in the bathroom. You are SO not supposed to pray in a bathroom! LOL. Truly, an act of desperation. It’s like the one place angels don’t even enter. And wiping her legs off after crawling out from the under the classroom desk was a nice touch. The grit on those shiny tiled floors is unbelievable.
