🌑 The Midnight Threshold
On the Road to an Unseen Home
When I sat down at the computer after a heavy nap, the screen read exactly 12:00 AM. A small thing, perhaps, but I felt the significance — midnight is both an end and a beginning, the crossing point between yesterday and tomorrow.
Earlier, I had lain down with a migraine, the noise of my children’s movie pounding too heavily in my head. My body told me to retreat, to shut out the clamor and seek stillness. Sleep came, and with it, a dream.
Once again, I was trying to reach home, though home itself was uncertain — its place, its meaning — only the yearning remained. Along the way I met resistance: foreign workers throwing potatoes at me. Yet when I caught one, it turned out to be a boiled potato, nourishing and good. Even hostility, it seems, can carry hidden sustenance.
By the roadside I found keys and police badges left behind, symbols of responsibility and trust. I picked them up with the intention of turning them in, carrying integrity with me on the journey.
Then, by storm drains swollen with rushing water, a Chinese boy was swept away by cows crossing recklessly, his face gashed, his body carried swiftly downstream. In the dream’s strange clarity, I reached in and pulled him to safety. He vanished after, as dreams do, but I walked on with the weight of the act.
Ahead were dogs — triggering old fear. Yet as I approached, they transformed into puppies. Fear dissolved into innocence.
When I awoke, the migraine lingered, but after wudhu it subsided. I made myself a warm drink of honey, apple cider, and olive oil — a medicine for body and soul. The clock still glowed 12:00 AM. I opened the computer and found myself listening to Thoth Explains: You’re Already Living in a Higher Dimension, with a shamanic sound journey playing softly in the background.
Such is the way of the path: pain leading to vision, resistance turning into nourishment, fear becoming harmless, and midnight reminding me that each threshold is also a beginning.
✨ “And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.” (Qur’an 2:213)
Wallahu A‘lam.
