Each night I had watched the waxing moon grow, corresponding to the first half of Ramadan, now it has reached it's peak, and for the next 14 days the moon will be reminding me that like the moon Ramadan is getting shorter.
Now is the time to reflect on my intentions I have/had.
Am I getting all I can from this time of Peace and thought and change?
Am I putting my full effort into Ramadan?
There is not much time left for me to reflect on Ramadan and what it truly means to me. |
it seems that ramadan brings a heightened awareness - this is cool.
what isn't so cool is that you made me realize that it is half over. i decided to re-read the qur'an during ramadan and i am only 1/4 of the way!
