My brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

However who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and the notes they
send to one another always
say the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

Tips for Odd nights:

*Use every moment right from Magrib azaan till Fajr
*Guard your tongue, eyes, ears & hands during this night. Speak minimal
*Do niyyah of itekaf from magrib till Fajr (if you aren't already sitting for sunnah itekaf)
*Pray Magrib.
*Recite Surah Mulk & Sajdah post Magrib. It's a sunnah.
*Don't miss Isha and Taraweeh (20 rakahs) praying Taraweeh will get u more reward than doing nafli aamaal. Missing Taraweeh without uxr is a sin.

*What nafli ibadah to do?*

*2 rakah Salat ul Taubah and do tauba over all sins.
*2 rakah Salat ul Istikharah for whole future. (Istikharah dua is attached)
*2 rakah Salat ul Hajat followed by dua for all khayr of Deen, Dunya & Akhirah. (Hajat dua attached)
*Give some sadaqah or zakat or keep it aside to give tomorrow
*Recite the sunnah dua of Layla tul Qadr abundantly
*Cry to Allah, think of how can I change my life from now on
*Some tilawah.
*Do isaal e sawaab of nafli aamaal to all Muslims, dead or alive
*at least 2 nafl at tahajjud
*Qaza namazain. Tauba over missing namaz in past. Dua and firm niyyah to complete missing namazain before death.
*Khidmah of family happily for Allah
*Try to be as polite in tone as possible with everyone
*Remember others in duas, make dua for their deen, taqwa, dunya, akhrah. When we make dua for others, angels ask the same for us!
