I was sitting alone
at a table while waiting for my food order. Hmmm.. actually there were lots of activities going on here. And different food aroma filled the
air.. hot, fruity, spicy, sweet, tangy, savory...all seemed so appealing to one's appetite. What did I feel in the midst of all these? Nothing.. just some
cold and empty feelings.
I just sat there and stared into space. I was not shedding tears or anything, just feeling somber and glum. However, deep down this heart was crying. Soulful cries that I could not hold back or express. Or should I say like an emotional breakdown within myself that sent numbness throughout my body. A kind of somber unrevealing feeling. This was indeed a very bad feeling inside.
Guess, some things just would not go away easily and could not be erased..

So why should we complain,
We always want the sunshine,
But Allah knows there must be rain.
We always want the laughter,
And the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts will lose their tenderness,
If we never shed a tear.
Allah tests us often,
With suffering and with sorrow,
Allah tests us not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow,
For growing trees are strengthened,
If they withstand the storm,
And the sharp cut of the chisel,
Gave the marble grace and form.
Allah tests us often,
For every pain Allah gives us,
Provided we’re patient,
Is followed by rich again.
So whenever we feel that everything is going wrong,
It is just Allah’s way,
To make our spirit’s strong.
