A ritual before what matters
Before a hard conversation, a prayer or a new beginning, wash your hands and face slowly, the way Amal’s father did before prayer. No words are needed. Let the water mark the moment as sacred.
“Water remembers what we were taught before the world told us to forget.”
From Passage Four, Performing Wudu in Surrender to Self, Amal Lana’s lyric memoir in thirteen passages.
