“ Water and clay, when fed on the breath of Jesus,”
spread wings, became a bird and flew.
Your praise of God is a breath
from your body of water and clay.
Make it a bird of paradise
by breathing into it your heart’s sincerity.
Orcas, or more commonly known as Killer Whales, are a ferocious yet friendly mammal. Known to be a ”gentle giant”, these beasts are at the top of the food chain in the worlds’ oceans. Hunting in pods as big as 40 and with a diet consisting of seals and fish, these notorious predators are known to feast on the biggest creatures in the water including Great White Sharks (seriously).

“”Politics as war is exactly what former Harper strategist Tom Flanagan has long advocated. A Globe piece by Mr. Flanagan before the 2011 election was actually titled “An election is war by other means.” Mr. Flanagan also chose to compare the 2008 campaign to ancient wars in which Rome, the Conservatives, defeated Carthage, the Liberals, and “razed the city to the ground and sowed salt in the fields so nothing would grow there again”.
As Alan Whitehorn of the Royal Military College of Canada wrote: “This suggests a paradigm not of civil rivalry between fellow citizens of the same state, but all-out extended war to destroy and obliterate the opponent. This kind of malevolent vision and hostile tone seems antithetical to the democratic spirit, not to mention peace and stability.”
..precisely the conservative approach to bipartisan politics.
Be very afraid: Stephen Harper is inventing a new Canada - excellent but depressing post by Gerald Caplan.

Too often, Islam is portrayed as something like a religious country club - exclusive, like it’s a religion only for the “perfect” people. It’s not. Islam is for broken people. To mend hearts and heal souls. — AbdelRahman Murphy

Now’s as good a time as ever
to stop.
to take a moment and affirm “Alhamdulillah” for indeed all praise is due to Allah.
to count your blessings, renew your intentions, and face tomorrow’s adversities with courage and patience.
to relinquish all your anxieties because insha’Allah everything is going to be alright.
to remember that now’s as good a time as ever.
Great white sharks have a big mouth that is filled with seven rows of 32 serrated teeth. These killing machines kill you in a way that it when it bites you and has a good grip, it thrashes back and forth fast causing the prey to split in half.
