The Dragonfly and the Silver Pond

Tonight's story is called The Dragonfly and the Silver Pond. Tonight's dragonfly can never sit still — he darts and zooms and chases every sparkle of light, never once stopping to really look at anything. When the other pond creatures whisper about an ancient lily pad that shows the true reflection of anyone patient enough to visit it, the dragonfly's darting heart grows curious. But reaching it means learning the one thing he has never done before — being still. By the end, resting quietly beside the Silver Pond as the moon rises, he discovers that slowing down doesn't mean missing out — it means finally seeing everything, including the beauty of Allah's اللّٰه world and the calm waiting quietly inside himself.

When we sit still and quiet our hearts, we begin to truly see the beauty and wisdom Allah اللّٰه has placed all around us.
