Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:聽
During lockdown, our car has been sitting in the garage like a sloth. Much to my mother鈥檚 delight, instead of me revving it up to meet mates every week, I鈥檝e never been more grounded. Instead of bolting up country roads, I鈥檝e been sauntering down memory lane picking up from mum stories of my dad鈥檚 early years in Sixties Britain after he migrated from India. One story involved a Hindu doctor who was constantly round for dinner at my dad鈥檚.聽
One day he offered instead to take dad and some friends to his favourite restaurant. There were just two problems, he didn鈥檛 have a car or the address - but he had a plan. 鈥淟isten, I always take the bus there, all we need to do is go in your car and follow the bus route!鈥� So off they set - four hungry Indians driving behind the number 43 on a mission to get some grub. Bus stops came and went - no sign of a restaurant. At long last, the bus turned a corner, 鈥淭his must be it!鈥� said the doc, as they followed it into its final destination - the bus depot.聽
When I鈥檓 out without a compass, even the direction of my five daily prayers has gone wayward, leaving me instead bowing with the Kaba in Mecca behind me. But it鈥檚 not so much the physical direction, it鈥檚 a shared sense of purpose that keeps me on target. These last few months, we鈥檝e been pushed off the rails, and all I want is for us to get back on track. Whenever I feel a bit lost, the words of the 13th century Persian Muslim poet, Shams Tabrizi, show me a way. He says, 鈥淲hatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you.鈥澛�
My prayer is not that we go back to normal, but that we return to a better normal. To restore a world that鈥檚 more cherished, more just and more equal. I鈥檓 counting on that new path leading me to a greater place, I just hope it鈥檚 not a bus depot.
