Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims which begins
today, May 27.
Today’s poem is a Ramadan poem about how, in the pursuit of
faith, action precedes feeling.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Right action is the mother of right feeling.
As one does, one ultimately becomes.
Mere words are insufficiently revealing.
An act of faith revives what living numbs.
Do, then, faithfully the month observe,
And by your abstinence your spirit serve.
Nor will that act be any less than healing.
