New Reflections by Br.David Coolidge, Memories of a Majlis:
"On Judgement Day, we will viscerally realize that God can show us every moment of our life. May the accounting of my failures never happen, by the Mercy of the Most Merciful. When I realize this, I become more aware of how quickly time slips past, and how much we lose. I wish I could recall every moment of these majalis, and every moment of my ziyara to Iraq that it inspired. But I cannot. I cannot even remember every moment of the majlis that I just attended.
But what I can do is write something about the majlis right now for my benefit, seeking my Lord's help, and hoping that it benefits you too. Because in the hopeful embrace of what we can do is the journey to what seems so far out of reach."
