A Sunshine Too Brief

Sunday

Snapshots

On the train home, snapshots of age-

The Romantics: An elderly woman wearing dark glasses sits across from her husband on the train. They held hands for the whole 30 minute ride.

The Pretender: A man with shoulder-length white hair strides pusposely down the platform. Keeping up with the current trend, he has short bangs on his forehead combed neatly

The Preacher: A Jahovah's Witness recruiter waves a pamphlet in the faces of six teenagers, every one of them wearing full 'Hijab' loudly arguing 'Jesus as the last savior'. (now there is a conversation you want bring some popcorn and listen in)

Stories in transit or just life?

He is a missionary, trying to save the world by brining ppl to jesus...and who better to preach to than those who obviously don't believe what he believes.

now the muslim preachers/missionaries on the other hand (ie the tableegh ppl), preach basically to each other and maybe some other moderate muslims... they don't have the balls often to preach to non-muslims where they will have to answer questions using logic rather than the rhetoric they believe...

missing u tonnes...can't wait to meet up once i'm back in TO
