No one likes to fall. And few people would ever choose to drown. But in struggling through the ocean of this life, sometimes it’s so hard not to let the world in. Sometimes the ocean does enter us. The dunya does seep into our hearts.
And like the water that breaks the boat, when dunya enters, it shatters our heart. It shatters the boat. Recently, I was reminded of what a broken boat looks like, of what happens when you let everything in. I was reminded because I saw someone, just like me, fall in love too much with this life and seek to be filled by the creation. So the ocean of dunya shattered her boat, as it had shattered mine, and she fell out into the water. But she stayed down too long, and didn’t know how to come back up or what to hold on to.
So she drowned...
[Excerpt from SuhaibWebb]

It was evening. I was lazy-ing around after setting foot at home, exhausted. My class started at 830am almost every day. Early. I was always the first one to leave home, making my way through the foggy Fall morning. It was real hard to do so, watching my peeps still sleeping peacefully, wrapped around the cozy warm down comforter. But I'm loving it, bit by bit. Each day, I kinda saw the bus arriving, but instead of running towards it, I slowed down my steps, purposely to let the bus go without me (but sometimes the bus still waited for me, until I passed by). I enjoyed walking to class.. 15 minutes, chilly walk, serenity, emo, loner, independence, confidence.
Oh, back to topic.
Dunya... How deep has it's been seeping into my heart, our hearts..? It must be at a really slow rate and of infinitely small increment because if you ask me, I've never wanted (or made a wish) that the world would be a big part of my life! It's often wronged that life equals to dunya too :( No!
Life = A Temporary Stage Towards Akhirah...inshaallah....
Oh Allah, how must I take care of this heart..?
