Ramadan started for Sunni Muslims on Saturday, and for Shia'a on Monday (or Sunday depending on who you ask). A few observations. I noticed (perhaps for the first time in a long time) the moon the other night. A slight, very slight crescent - and realized what an important role the moon plays in so many cultures and beliefs.
I've talked to many of my colleagues about it, just noting how much I admire them for the dedication to fast from sun-up to sun-down for thirty whole days. The roughest test has to be the fact that you cannot even drink any water throughout the day. "Nothing must enter the stomach" is how a good friend described it.
I have noticed throughout the day how my friends get paler as the day drags on... lunchroom is empty.
