Are we to celebrate this Syawal exuberantly or with equanimity ?

When we smile and we glee on the first day of Syawal remember these...

Remember them. We can't hear. They can.

These visuals are not meant to dampen the spirits of Syawal,
but to remind us that...
On the first day of Syawal, our true love (Him) give to us,
hands to seek His forgivess,
legs for us to walk in searching for the dome of His calling,
mouth to express our hidden emotions of forgiveness for those we heart.
eyes not to just see others beautiful sights but others insights.
Life, for us to make it all worthwhile for those in need and for those we heart.

Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
