Merhaba!
Back in Istanbul and having a very "eye-opening" experience with Ramazan.
Fasting has been a somewhat difficult yet very good experience for me. It has
taught me to be very thankful for that moment when Ezan begins and I take that
first sip of water for the day. I have also learned to value food especially when
helping prepare it for the evening meal that closes fasting for the evening, Iftar.
The conversation that comes during Iftar is priceless as well as I am not the only
one of many sharing in these feelings of thankfulness. Throughout the day when
I find myself the hungriest or thirstiest, I say a prayer that often leads to just talking
to God expressing my worries and whatever else is on my heart. What a beautiful
way to bring one closer to God and make one realize the value of basic human
needs-food and water.
