At the Soul's Airport - Still Sinning. Still Writing. Still Building Airplanes.

Dear readers,

All my words you read here in this blog or in my book, they are all written in a state of sin. The sketches are sinful too. The reason is simple really, for when I feel ‘holy’ I cannot write.

The truthful man in witness of the Truth must keep his silence in deference of the adab (right manners) before Love. Truth and Patience, which is God by any other name. So each word I write bears witness and judges me as a sinner. But I am a happy sinner, so don’t worry.

My words are like airplanes. I write them, and hopefully someone will board my rickety flying machines to whatever destination that they desire. I have been writing for more than 10 years really and for 9 years I had no readership and all my planes were parked useless in the hangars of the soul’s airport. Then one day, Heche finally convinced me to blog and in July 2010, I earnestly started to write and incorporate my prose into my postings.

And if some of my co-religionists think I am blurring the lines between religions… well tough luck to them. I am building my planes as big as possible to fit in as many of humanity as possible. This is my job, you see… and I would not do it any other way…

When you do get to where you are suppose to get to, I hope that it will be a Good Place. And remind those Good Folks there of me, because though you are already there, I will continue to remain in the soul’s airport - Still sinning. Still writing. Still building airplanes.

Have a good flight, sunshine.

Footnote - For the sake of prosperity, I am sticking this post to a Page entitled 'Dear Readers', as you will see on the right column of this blog.

Pages Update

This morning I bumped into an early poem of mine entitled 'O'Poet'. As it is a prose that clarifies who I am and who I am not, I have added it to About what the Writer and the Blog is not page. The latest addition, as always, is at the bottom of the page.

In my review of my past writings, I keep coming across so many qualifications about what I write, that I myself begin to doubt my own veracity. I would be worried if I claim to be something that I am not. This is another one of those moments when I thank God and all the Angels that I chose to name my blog the Sinners Almanac. I, like the Prophet Jonah, do not wish to be judged on my merits. I choose Mercy over Truth. Sinners should always choose Mercy. And that is the truth.

Oh well... life goes on.

Have a great Sunday, sunshine.

Pax Taufiqa.

Pages Update

I stumbled across 2 poems and have updated my page 'What the Writer and the Blog is not'. The poems are called Readers I and Readers II from a recent chapter entitled 'The Bride's Dress'. They are posted at the bottom of the page.

If you have absolutely nothing more urgent to do, do drop by.

I will be posting again later today. If this blog can be connected directly to my neurons and nerve endings, no doubt I would be posting every minute. Hmm, but to post everything that crosses my mind? Come to think of it, that's not a very good idea at all.

Hehehe.

Have a thoroughly excellent Sunday, sunshine.

Pages Update

I have updated my page 'About what the Writer and the Blog is not' with 2 oldish poems...
  • 'Readers' - from chapter 2 called the Dam.Munir.Ana
  • 'The Erring Poet' - from the 1st chapter called the Dam.SunSun.Ana

They are located at the bottom of the page.

Salams, friends
