I was in a public restroom, and I was making Waldo, and there was a

00:00:02 --> 00:00:06

woman who was hardcore staring at me. And usually, if someone

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

hardcore stares like that, I take it as an invitation to have a

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

conversation, because while I saw you staring at me so hard, so I go

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

up to her and start talking to her about prayer and the beauty of,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:19

you know, washing up for prayer. And she's like, I know I'm from

00:00:19 --> 00:00:24

China and I am Muslim, and she was so excited to meet me because I

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

was the first Muslim she had met since she had moved to California.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

And I was so excited to meet her, because I don't know if I would

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

have met her otherwise, but this is just a reminder reason number 1

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

trillion on why it's amazing when you have the privilege to make

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

wudu in public. You.
