I'm a University student; i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; i like to pretend this blog contains thoughts
worth sharing with the few friends who take the trouble to read it - but i know that is a delusion. These are mostly journal entries. Occasionally i post a short-story
or scholastic insight. oh yeah, my name is heather and i live in a suburb of Montreal.
i found this while working on my Middle Eastern History final. I think it is brilliant and worth sharing with you all:
Someone once asked Ja'far al-Sadiq (the sixth Imam in mainstream Shi'a Islam) to show him God. The imam replied, "Look at the sun." The man replied that he could not look at the sun because it was too bright. Said Ja'far: "If you cannot see the created, how can you expect to see the creator?"
