As the sun rises on the eve of Ramandan she blooms; a harbinger of the beauty of the month to come...
A month where we cherish special moments with our family, friends and community, moments that disappear in a flash like this plant's bloom - a year in preparation, gone in a day.
Cherish these moments like the gifts that they are for tomorrow they will be but a memory, mere blessings of the past and hints of the beauty of what is to come.
Ramadan Kareem to all my friends and colleagues who celebrate; may the month ahead bring you peace, as the sight of this flower brings stillness to my heart and mind.
