Imam Abdulah Polovina —In Search of God

Time moves everything including ourselves, whether we like it or not. But change brings us hope, new energy, and opens new doors in our lives. Our spiritual journeys fly above our lives like birds. Some birds fly high, and some fly low. My spiritual journey is similar to that of a Falcon because he insists on fly high in the sky above many other varieties of birds; he enjoys freedom instead of being enslaved; he knows where to go and finds food without anybody’s help.
