King Amanullah Khan of Afghanistan (ruled 1919-1929) once gave a public speech in which he said “Islam did not require women to cover their bodies or wear any special kind of veil”. At the conclusion of the speech, to the amazement of those present, Queen Soraya tore off her veil in public.

The woman in white perhaps has been working diligently at the table covered with books and papers. The piano music and song from her companion has moved her. She pushes back from her work, put her head down to listen, and receives a pleasant respite from her labours.

Sometimes a hello is an ‘I hope I get to know you,’ sometimes it’s an ‘I’ve missed you,’ sometimes it’s a 'God, I love you,’ and sometimes it’s just a 'hello.’

Autumn Sun in Patagonia by Max Rive

I love summer and I’ve always loved summer and 90 degrees and the smallest, thinnest tops and cherries on the porch and fireflies and ice pops at night. And you were always praying for fall and leaves and cinnamon which were sometimes great in their own way but they weren’t summer. And that was us and that’s why we didn’t work. We were two completely different kinds of people that were both sometimes great but never at the same time and never in the same ways.
