But...I'm telling myself it's an experiment. But I am also very cognizant of the fact that my dad quit smoking a pipe as 'just an experiment'... 40 years ago. In other words, it's not an experiment anymore.<br /><br />I've been moving in this direction for years and basically the only thing left was to start covering my head. I am still not entirely sure why I'm doing it, but it's gotten to a point where the only way I'm going to find out is just to do it.<br /><br />I think it could have to do with prayer - praying without ceasing (whether verbally or otherwise) translates into covering full-time. Once had a roommate who viewed things exactly this way. Then modesty of course.<br /><br />And maybe an element of general niyyah/kavanah. There was a time when I wore it most of the time (but only at home), and it had that kind of connotations. I felt happy when I put it on today. Maybe more motivated, like a certain cloud had lifted. Will have to see what that's all about.<br /><br />Yes, I'm also thinking of wearing jilbab (in the sense of an outer covering over clothes) when I go out. But that isn't so 'obvious' as covering your head. People aren't going to have so many question marks in their eyes when they look at you if you wear jilbab.<br /><br />At any rate, in some sense maybe it will always be an experiment because there will be something new to discover about what it means. If I ever find it ceases to have meaning, maybe I would take it off, just as I stopped covering at church once upon a time because it had connotations of feminine submission to male authority, and let's say my views on that have changed considerably over time. What I'm doing now, though, doesn't have that connotation. And I'm trying to do it in an out-of-the-box enough way that non one can be really sure from looking exactly what the deal is - whether it even has religious significance, much less exactly what that significance might be. That way there's more privacy, it's more between me and God.caraboskanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405653927651400188.post-70249479538964447452009-08-23T15:59:04.811-07:002009-08-23T15:59:04.811-07:00@caraboska, Awesome!
