Editor’s note: During the month of ‘Ala’ a handful of writers collaborate to share one work for each day of the Fast.
Unfailing Availability
Loose, long sleeves owning curled folds over chilly fingers.
Rosewater aroma in the grand piano room spreading echoes of the French national anthem into high ceilings.
Persian calligraphy over freshly painted walls singing gratitude in bold black breath strokes.
Peekaboo tangerine sunrise kissing eyes in repetition while cold toes sleep in lazy beach sand.
Touching, Smelling, Seeing, Feeling Your Unfailing Availability in daily life.
How can I be as unfailingly available for You?
