In The Stillness, She Bloomed.

 She sat there with her head slightly bent, taking in deep breaths as the sound of the Quran played softly beside her. 

"It's been a long day" she said to herself as she waited for her tea to finish steeping. "You're tired - you need your rest and a quiet moment away from the kids - away from responsibilities. Away from the sounds of being needed all the time."

"So for now, just put your weary head down and take as long as you need. For time doesn't stop for anyone - it continues ticking and soon this moment will be over -  

so savour it. 

Relish in it. Think happy thoughts. 

Thoughts of how peaceful this moment is, how serene it is. And how beautiful it is to just be without performing. To be alone, with no one but the one who created your living breathing soul."

She sat there and whispered gentle beautiful words to herself, so that, by the power of the one who created her, she might blossom and grow into a new being. One that would light up and inspire everything she touched.
