There Will be Time


He pedals for miles and never gives up.
He always asks me to watch, but he allows himself to be in his zone.
He doesn't always ask me to be next to him.
He just wants me to be a witness of his life and his journey. 
He sometimes falls, but he stands-up again.

There will be time, he continues his own life, without asking me to be always with him. 
At that time, I believe that he would be able to stand, walk, and rise with his own without any hesitation.

I love you, son, with all my life. May Allah always bless you. ♥

With love,
Bunda

The Music-Obsessed Kid in Me Finally Got Her Wish

My earliest memories are steeped in music, all thanks to my mom. Actually she's a classical guitar player, and I can still picture her when her fingers dancing on the fret-board. She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays.  As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine.  When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.

The Classic Tale of Sleeping Beauty: Briar-Rose

We must be familiar with fairy tales. I used to listen to fairy tale stories when I was a child, my favorite was the bed time stories. Fairy tales generally take place in a far-off place and time, typically begin with “Once upon a time.” In the land of fairy tales, magical happens. A fairy tale often tells the story of an individual, takes into the entire life, and generally ends happily. The traditional and common closing line of a fairy tale is, “...and they lived happily ever after.” In the early 19th century, the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, scholars who studied folklore, linguistics, and literary history, began collecting and recording old German folktales. The tales were often full of supernatural elements such as witches, talking animals, and magical kingdoms. One of the tales that the Grimm brothers collected was a version of the story of Sleeping Beauty known as Briar-Rose.
