And did those feet in ancient time

visiting the temples for prayers and in general as well. In ancient Greece respectable women would cover their heads outside the home. We must realize that it was not customary only for women to wear long or loose dresses, men were used to dress long cloaks as well, just like in nowadays, Arab men would wear a white scarf on their head with a long dress out of tradition. “Hijab” in Other…

refer to anything made by someone considered an artist, yet the definition of an artist has evolved over time and varies based on context. In Ancient Greece, the term for art was "techne," though that word did not peg art in the modern sense and was instead applied to human activities, especially handicrafts and technical work. The most admired ancient art forms were music and poetry, and those were contemplated as divinely inspired. Eventually, the idea of art bolstered in scope to include…

Chapter Two The Dead Don’t Talk Meeting with the agency’s co-founder, Twist Top-secret hideout Thursday, 10:30 a.m. Oliver Twistleton (a.k.a. Twist), an associate at the Deadwood Detective Agency, was waiting for Seth and me in our tree house—sorry, our top-secret hideout—complete with its three-legged desk and secondhand chairs. Against one wall was a shelf stacked with bins of hardware—tiny screws, bolts, fuses, gears and enough silicone to fill a basin. Next to the door was a poster of a…

to her pale complexion. Smearing lipstick across her almost blue lips, she hurries to the kitchen and checks the time. Anele grabbed her suitcase as she swung open her front door and dropped down onto the steps. What was she missing? Oh, keys! Her mind jumbled, she turns back around and reentered the house for the third time. She didn’t know where the time always went.

~O.o~ They don’t talk about it at work the next day. “How was the commute?” asks James when they meet in Julius’s office. “A child was conceived, carried to term, born and learned to ride a fucking bike in the time it took for me to reach this land of ineptitude,” snaps Julius and dismisses James. Thankfully, the ministers of Her Majesty’s Government are the same cock ups that they are the other three hundred and sixty four days of the standard year, which gives lots of people for James to…

didn’t laugh. He stood there like an erect corpse. This wasn’t the feared downtown barrister, wordless, a strain in his eyes reminiscent of the old days of a near- gone and soul-lost man. Sweet Mary didn’t break the silence. She let quiet do what it did and come back to her. Listening to its mes- sage was a skill she’d learned from the old witch precep- tors up north. In the dark of moonless desert nights, they told a young girl to listen to the silence in the presence of dis- traught men. In…

“When will the kingdom come…to restore Israel?” “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power.” Jesus replied. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and into all Judaea and in Samaria, and unto the…

shakes her hand, hoping to wake her up from her mid-day nap. “Hal-mon-ni,” she whispers to the snoring scarecrow under the sheets. “Your granddaughter is here.” The woman scrunches her eyes and peeked out from under the covers. “You’re not my nurse. Did she get fired? She was a nice one, unlike the previous nurse,” she groans, her tree root fingers twisting the sheets. A small sound escapes her throat, something low and feathery, and for a second I think that she might bawl. That would’ve ended…

"The way of Islam? Within Islam itself, every Muslim, every believer, has to practice certain worship, some personal practices, and five prayers every day. Every male and female is expected to perform prayers five times a day. Also, we fast during the month of Ramadan. Fasting is a very important, highly spiritual practice that you can go through, along with prayers and devotions at night during the month.
