Be in my company and together we the live the gaze
of the One who is all worthy of praise.
Allah.

DUPLICITY
Duplicity reveals itself like the serpent because it cannot brave the son of courage. Duplicity, the tool of the powerful, like the serpent strikes first with the tail only to expose its grotesque head when you on the floor. To rise up, you need to see what it is and not to live the lie.
2021! Another Year!
The writing was always on the wall. We just did not read it right or, we just did not understand it or, we just ignored it. 2021 beckons on what 2020 left on the wall.
