I'm sitting at a desk in a room that is dimly lite by the sun, unable to focus at the task before me.A simple proposal is awaiting, while my mind is wandering. The walls seem to be closing in. Too many thoughts are swarming in my head. Where do I stand on the issues that have been impacting my daily life? The crisis in the Middle East. The war in Iraq. The fate of Syria. The people have suffered enough, yet either way they will continue to suffer. Lebanon on the brink of civil war again. People in power dying, all around the same time. Hammas winning in the elections. Fate seems bleak. I'm in the midst of chaos.

The sun is setting. I hear the adhan, I shake away my thoughts and breathe.

All I can do is pray.
