Welcome to my blog!

Hello! Welcome to Beloved Bewildering- my space for exploring Al- Andalus- the class and the place/time. Al-Andalus is the Arabic name for the place and time of modern day Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar and a tiny bit of France. It endured from 711 to 1492 under Islamic rule as a relatively peaceful place where Christians, Muslims and Jews all lived together, thrived together, sharing in livelihood, culture and faith. 

Al-Andalus-the-class is being taught online at Starr King School for the Ministry by Dr. Professor Ibrahim Farajaje'. And I am one of the lucky students taking the class. 

So, please open your heart-mind as I have done for you. I believe that we are all emerging, changing beings. In this light I open up pretty vulnerable parts of who I am, as, I believe, the more I open, the more I learn (and hopefully, grow). I welcome welcome WELCOME you to participate in my learning, as alone, I only learn so much (not very much- I NEED you to learn!)

Thank you for taking part in my life in this way. Love, Cassie
