The Expansion

Have We not expanded you your breast?

And removed from you your burden

The which did gall your back?

And raised in high esteem (in which) you (are held)?

So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Therefore, when you are free (from your immediate task), still labor hard,

And to your Lord turn (all) your attention.

Read the omens. They're there. In the winds, written on the walls, whispered by strangers, printed in between the pages of books. Heed them, embrace them. But ignore them never.

I was ready to give up. To be miserable. But lo! A message from the stars. A coincidence? That would be outright blasphemous. Verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Hope. Hope. Hope. And know that even if it didn't work out, it was probably for the best; that it was just meant to be another lesson in life's unending syllabus.

Everything will be okay. Just have a little faith.
