Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:

I had some city slicker friends over for the weekend and dragged them on a two-hour muddy walk for a taste of village thug life. Then I plied them with a conveyor belt of food and snacks til they pleaded with me to stop 鈥� I just don鈥檛 know if there is another way of Asian hosting.

When it was time to say our goodbye salam, we hugged, walked out to the car, took some selfies, opened the car doors, began another conversation, shut the car doors. An hour and 38 minutes after their initial planned departure, they finally drove off.聽

This is what I like to call the long Muslim goodbye. It often takes place in a corridor and might result in another cup of tea for the road. Parting really is such sweet sorrow that we stretch out the time like an elastic band, just to be together that little bit longer.

As we enter the last days of 2019, it's not only the end of a year, it's the end of a decade. For me, it's been a decade since I lost my dad, and it鈥檚 been a long goodbye to him. The last ten years have also seen a farewell to my thirties, an adieu to dire dating apps, but still I give my long goodbye kiss聽to this decade. Not to forget what is past, but to reflect forward with a different perspective.

For it鈥檚 been a decade of births too, of little buds of joy giving new life to my family tree. Of learning that even when your heart can break, your soul can bloom. That unexpected promise is always around the corner, and that memories never leave.

鈥淕oodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.鈥�, said Rumi, the 13th century Persian Muslim poet. 鈥淏ecause鈥�, he continues, 鈥渇or those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.鈥�

I will learn to love with my heart and soul, and not just my eyes, so that goodbyes aren鈥檛 really goodbyes. Having said that, I鈥檓 ready for more extended 鈥榯arrahs鈥� in the corridor, so if I鈥檓 ever around your house and say I鈥檓 about to leave, don鈥檛 get my coat for at least another hour.
