This has been a very busy weekend,
and I'll have to get up really early Monday morning to do my
"homework" for my classes. In addition to going to Foodies on Friday night, Javier and I
took David out to lunch yesterday and celebrated Javier’s birthday together
here and at the Exploratorium with Jeanne and Ken. Like good citizens, we
walked to the MUNI station and took a street car to the Embarcadero and
back. Coming back, here's a message I found from Djamila, a student I had
at Lycee Bencheneb in Media, Algeria, in 1975.
Dear Tina,
Thank you for your wishes. Ramadan was not very hard for me
because I had to observe the rule " Not eat and not drink during day"
but it was difficult because women must prepare many dishes (shorba, several
salades because of hot weather,...). I hope God will give us (muslim
women) more rewards than men! That will be justice and God is The Just!
Imagine you preparing diner for Christmas during 30 days!!!
Anyway, I like Ramadan because it makes us practise self control on every
things (no eat, no drink, no sex - Don't panic during day only!-, more alms foe
poor people, good behavior,...). It's a real challenge!
That's the way all people even no muslims should live.
"Imagine all the people living in love and peace". I think, this song
of John Lenon must become the international hymn.
Love,
Djamila
