Love Of Language – 22nd March 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

A name acrostic (start and end) shared with dVerse MTB

kalima – Arabic for word
gharāmī – Arabic for my passion/deep love
qalb – Arabic for heart
Al-Rabitah al-Qalamiyya – Arabic name for The Pen League

Kalima comes to life with learning
Haskell, patron to his gharāmī
Almustapha, The Prophet, his qalb
Literary love, spirit, The Forerunner
Immigrant Al-Rabitah al-Qalamiyya
Lebanon, still home – sweet Lebanon

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

The Sign Of True Education

Once the paper has been earned
To show all what was learned
Amounts to little if not understood
And reflected on for the greater good

  2. The title of your name acrostic tells me so much, not only about Khalil but also about you, Shaun. ‘Kalima’ is a lovely name for ‘word’. Thank you for the translated words.
