“All over India, all over the world, as the sun or the shadow of darkness moves from east to west, the call to prayer moves with it, and people kneel down in a wave to pray to God. Five waves each day - one for each namaaz - ripple across the globe from longitude to longitude. The component elements change direction, like iron filings near a magnet - towards the house of God in Mecca.” PeopleWorldMovingHousePrayerDarknessSunFivePrayingElementsShadowIndiaWestWaveEastEach DayIronGlobesComponentsPraying To GodMagnetRippleMeccaFilingHouse Of God Book:A Suitable Boy Source: A Suitable Boy

“I remember what it was like to grow up in the South in the 1960s and 1970s. Discrimination isn’t something that’s easy to oppose. It doesn’t always stare you in the face. It moves in the shadows.

“To rest in God's power when your own weaknesses seem to be screaming at you? That's grace! To be confident in who God is for you when you feel overwhelmed by odds against you? That's peace!

“I can see others in the sunlight; I can see our boats' crews and our athletic young men on the glistening water, or speckled with the moving lights of sunlit leaves; but I myself am always in the shadow looking on. Not unsympathetically, - God forbid! - but looking on alone, much as I looked at Sylvia from the shadows of the ruined house, or looked at the red gleam shining through the farmer's windows, and listened to the fall of dancing feet, when all the ruin was dark that night in the quadrangle.” MenI CanLightMovingYoungNightFallHouseWaterNatureDarkFeetShadowRedWindowDancingShiningBoatRuinsYoung ManFarmersSunlightCrewRuinedAthleticGleamShining Through Book:Hard Times (And Other Stories) Source: Hard Times (And Other Stories)
