Tomorrow morning is the day of Eid Mubarak. At this moment, my husband and I are sitting in the frontyard of our house with the lights intentionally out, enjoying the dark sky with full of stars (while I am typing for this blog of course).
Being unable to visit my mom in the other town because of this covid19 thing has made me realize that I need to remind myself that my mom is a strong woman. She is fine with this condition that her daughters cannot go back home. Thanks to covid19 for this chance of admiring the dark sky full of stars and the hopes and prayers for my mom to always be tough alone at home.
At this moment, too, I can still hear the busy traffic. There are very many vehicles passing by. I guess those people just want to know the situation of the town before the d-day of Eid Mubarak, regardless of the danger of covid19 infection. They probably can't stand staying peacefully at home, listening to the takbir from the mosques.
What if the existence of covid19 is intended to let human beings contemplate the substance of life? To stay home means to be close with all the family members, to know them deeper, to love them more, to be together with them in the backyard or the frontyard to admire the universe, and to really listen to the takbir that can touch the soul.
Let's hope to see the next Ramadan and happy Eid Mubarak for everybody who is reading this.
Let me just continue admiring the dark sky full of stars tonight.
