Writing in Snow

Motivational Monday Thoughs and Gratitude List

Kamál (Perfection), 17 ‘Izzat (Might) 175 B.E. - Monday, September 24, 2018

"Meditation is the key for opening the doors of mysteries. In that state man abstracts himself: in that state man withdraws himself from all outside objects; in that subjective mood he is immersed in the ocean of spiritual life and can unfold the secrets of things-in-themselves. To illustrate this, think of man as endowed with two kinds of sight; when the power of insight is being used the outward power of vision does not see."

'Abdu'l-Baha1

Meditation is the key
to writing mystic poetry;
it unlocks the door
to spirituality
and universal mysteries.

Gratitude List for 17 ‘Izzat

Today I am thankful...
          ...that I read Greetings from My Indigenous Culture   by Bitahnii Wayne Wilson, because it gave me insight into the spirituality of the Navajo culture.
          ...that I was able to give four reviews this morning.
          ...that I received my sister check today.
          ...that I have 25 points in my Survey Spot account.
          ...that I have $23.92 in my Vindale Research account.

I have only three entries remaining in "Melting Snow"  before I have to start another blog. I'm going to create a new blog, but I haven't decided on the name. I don't want to use anything with snow in it; I can't seem to think of a title that is thought provoking or eye catching. The one thing I am sure of is that I want to begin the new blog on September 27, which is the first day of Mashíyyat (Will). As soon as I decide on a name I'll create the blog. After I created it I'll have to notify Fivesixer in the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  that I have a new blog.
