Do you ever get that feeling when a memory is so powerful it’s overwhelming??

When you have a picture in your mind but it’s more than just the image, you also have the feelings in your fingertips, the smells, the sounds, everything?

I have this image stuck in my mind of a morning not too long ago and I can’t shake it. It’s like that moment was seared in to my memory and when I close my eyes I see it.

Everything is so clear. Everything is so vivid. Everything is so real.

I don’t know if I want it to stay or if I want it to slip away. It scares me. It scares me how many other memories there are. Its scares me how powerful they are.

I don’t want to be melodramatic but…

I have this crazy feeling I’m going to die this weekend and I can’t seem to shake it.

Either on the way to Mecca, between Mecca and Medina, or on the way back from Medina.

SubhanAllah.
