Re: Something so poetic...
i once encountered something poetic too....
on a very gloomy friday in brooklyn some years back....i was looking for a masjid to pray as it was raining heavily and wasnt feasible to have a make-shift prayer area anywhere outside...
i searched for quite a while and was getting a lil disappointed when a old-man of south-asian origin comin outta "mcdonalds" welcomed me to his house terrace to say my prayers in peace...
he introduced himself as T-J, so i couldnt guess his origins etc.(not tht i cared bout such things anway)
only when i arose after my prayer, did i come to know tht the man was a indian punjabi who had to leave pak during partition but had many memories and for old times sake he wanned to help out a mullah in distress and thus offered me the place to pray...
the man could hav easily not minded me and gone about his business...but he chose the bettr....just goes to reaffirm my faith in human compassion and humanity void of religious barriers. :)
