The Universe on the surface of an emerald

Bismillah,

Interestingly enough, one of the advices that I remember most from Canada was from Uncle Imran, someone I wasn't exactly thinking I would remember. He commented that the word for dictionary is Qamus, or Ocean. He's precicely right. The depth is amazing. For example, when doing plural in Arabi, you cannot just add -s onto the end. Each word has a different plural, so we must learn all of them. When one considers that there are a million billion words to learn, this becomes overwhelming.

Today we set out on a quest for the clothes line. For the last week, we had driven ourselves crazy trying to dry our towels (in our bathroom, for some inextricably wise reason, there is no shower door or curtain, so the floors are always soaked by the end of a shower). We hung them on the chairs and ruined the chairs. We hung them on the railing balcony; this was a disaster as they fell onto the still dirt covered ground. Finally, we caught on that the clotheslines were outside the windows. We quickly purged our house, opening every window until we finally found it. Alhamdullilah.

Anyways, I'll be posting some pics. Make dua

Wasalam
