I, begin.

January 20th, 2004 by

I’m not sure where to begin from…
There’s no beginning. There’s no ending.
There is just time. Time spent, time wasted, time invested, time traveled, time thought, time changed, time evolved, time revoked evoked memories and reality.
At the end of the day, there’s just time repented.

To begin someplace would mean to end someplace, for all entities that begin, must end. I mind not ending, it is not an ending I fear. It is beginning, it is starting that I approach cautiously.

Hibernation, the cocoon of a butterfly before it emerges, these are shells that are casted upon by God All-Mighty, to give time for rejuvenation, for rebirth, for re-affirmation of an identity, of a creed, of a natural state of being. Depending upon the creatures patterns, habits and methodology, nay, needs, these periods of time differ.
Yet the same is true each time.

I’m back.

    “these periods of time differ”
    on speaking to an almost-long-lost friend recently, i attempted to describe how i had chnaged, but not changed, adapated to new.
    and i said that here truth was different, but true, but only for here. not for home, where’d i’d been once.
    and he understand, though i’d feared he of all people would be the last to understand.

    it’s painful having to start again, without having first ended properly. legitimately. it makes for a double life and the creation of a dream life more penetrating than the one walked every hour.

    Good to see you back, Waleed, and as beautifully reflective as ever. =)
    Subhan’Allah, your post and Phathima’s comment have given me much food for thought. I’ll have to come back after I’ve digested both properly.

    And yeah, yeah, I’ll be back sooner than Waleed’s version of “back.” Slacker.

    Kidding, just kidding.

    Welcome back Waleed, we were beginning to worry. Now we can sit back, relieved. :-)

    Back, indeed. And as usual, Waleed, you make no sense. Hahah… kidding. :p
    What I mean to say is that as usual, I had to read your entry twice just to get the gist of what you were saying. And as usual, your entry made me think.

    But yeah… yay, you’re back! Parade?
