A THOUSAND SPLENDID RAINCLOUDS
Today I walked from my home, unaccompanied, to the station.
My head was uncovered (Burqua-less) & I was able to buy a ticket & travel to Bristol without a male chaperone & without question.
Then I walked from Bristol Station to work.
I was still not questioned by any form of morality police; nor was I beaten with a radio arial, a tree branch, or a whip.
I was able to leave my home without fear of public humiliation, beating or arrest.
I am able to work, to study, to read books, to watch television - to have my own interests & to form my own opinions.
For that - I am eternally grateful.
Lekker.
