A prayer from Dhu 'l-Nun (d. ad861)

O God, when I listen to the voices of the animals, to the sound of the trees, the murmur of the water, the singing of the birds, to the rushing of the wind or to the rumble of thunder, I see them in evidence of Your unity; I feel that You are supreme power, supreme knowledge, supreme wisdom, supreme justice.

O God, I also recognize you in the difficulties I am experiencing now. God, let Your satisfaction be my satisfaction, and let me be Your joy that a Father takes in his child. And remember You with calmness and determination, even when it is hard for me to say: I love You.

This post has been hidden in the draft box for quite awhile now. It's amazing how a guy that live in a.d.861 can share the same thoughts as me - so when things get hard, don't forget everyone else has also experienced the same thing.

When Coe was on top of the world, the sky looked so blue and the snow cap mountain so white. Coe wanted to keep flying. But nothing is eternal, Coe must return to land.
When Coe returned to land. Coe realized that everything is different. Every other birds were talking about their own sky. Some birds said that on top of the world the sky is orange and fields are green. While other birds insisted on not eating peas.

So who's right and who's wrong?

I guess we have all been to different skys but they are the same sky!
