Desert Dreams

Where Dreams.... Do Come True...... Sand, Sand, the immortal, never conquered, always moving, yet always there. Never changing, and always changed. Unstoppable, the destroyer of dreams, yet the mover of souls.

Stranger Among Bears

, , ,


I am watching this program as I post this video.

I am full of tears for the love this man has
for these wild bears and how much love the bears
hold for this man.

He has crossed boundaries with Black and Grizzly
bears living together.

For over 20 years this 70 year old man
has dedicated his life to these bears.

In Alaska, it's illegle for him to do this
and the authorities are trying to shut him down.

Watch the video and then see the program and see
if your opinion doesn't change about Bears and
Nature.

God Bless him and his bears,
with love,
Fati



Tadaru'

, , ,



One




How do we humble ourselves towards God?


Tadaru' is a term that means extreme humility and humbleness caused by despair and is expressed when a person has reached a critical juncture. Imam Ahmed ibn Hambal explained it saying, "Imagine a man drowning in the middle of the sea and all he has is a piece of wood that he is clinging onto. He is getting weaker and weaker and the salty waves are pulling him closer to death. Imagine him with his eager eyes looking desperately at the sky crying out loud 'O Lord, O Lord!!!' Imagine how desperate he is and how sincere he is asking for God's help. That is tadaru' in front of God".



God teaches us in the Quran that tadaru' is a form of worship a believer uses during emergencies and crises. It requires a person to remove the veils of arrogance and ego covering his or her heart. It implies sincere pleading to the Lord of the Worlds. It demonstrates that a person has realized how weak he is and how Powerful our Lord is. Sometimes when God sees that His servants are becoming distracted with this worldly life and have strayed from the Straight Path, He puts them in a trying situation so that they realize their weakness and run back to God for protection.





After seeing the movie I previous posted about I was thinking
of how many times he said, "OH GOD OH GOD"

During Ramadan, I wanted to share some of the "inner" and
the "whys"

With love,

The Children of Huang Shi (Official U.S. Version)

, ,




While being sick over the past weekend I watched many movies
since I was drugged up and couldn't drive and just wanted to chill out
and break my fever.

This movie who stars the actor from the Tudors whom I adore, it was
the best movie I have seen him in yet.

This movie takes you to a place far away and allows you to forget
your problems for 2 hrs.

It's based on a true story and the man who it is about was a pure
hero and very brave and thoughtful..

Enjoy,
Fati
