It’s hard not to give up when we face the repeated disappointments of life. Like some of you, I’ve known loneliness. I’ve known defeat. I’ve fallen many times chasing mirages, and broken many bones making castles in life’s fading sands....

Aisha al-Ba‘uniyya (c.1456–1517) was one of the greatest women mystics in Islamic history.
