“Chup ko. Shut up.”
Mariam did.
It wasn’t easy tolerating him talking this way to her, to bear his scorn, his ridicule, his insults, his walking past her like she was nothing but a house cat. But after four years of marriage, Mariam saw clearly how much a woman could tolerate when she was afraid. And Mariam [...]

ومن أشعار الإمام الشافعي رحمه الله
وَلَرُبَّ نَازِلَةٍ يَضِيْقُ لَهَا الْفَتَىْ … ذِرْعَا وَعِنْدَ الْلَّهِ مِنْهَا الْمَخْرَجُ
ضَاقَتِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَحْكَمَتْ حَلَقَاتُهَا … فُرِجَتْ وَكُنْتُ أَظُنُّهَا لَا تُفْرَجُ

Now, I wonder if I do.
Memories have to have something concrete to make me happy. Something I can hold in hands life long and remember. I’m not good [...]

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
