Feast of Mashíyyat (Will)

The Feast Day of Will
reminds me to contemplate
the purpose of existence.

Reminds me to ask:
What is the will of God?
And to look for the answer
in the sacred scriptures.

Reminds me to meditate
on the primal will of the Almighty
that is reflected through Baha'u'llah,
the Gory of God and the Pen of Glory.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  Day 1746
Friends give us the courage to lift the blinds on our hearts, to open up and show what we generally keep hidden from the rest of the world. With this in mind, write something about friends.

Friends

Fragrance of hyacinths
Rise from blossoms of acquaintance.
Individual differences enhance
Experiences of comradeship.
Neither time nor distance
Dims the light of kinship
Shining in the hearts of friends.

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  Day 2139
The moon is full in the sky on this lovely autumn night when you hear distinctly make a wish. Do you make the wish or ignore the voice and rule it off to a dream. If you do hear, what wish do you make?

Make a Wish

Instead of making a wish, I would say a prayer of gratitude for the beauty of the Full Corn Moon1. Also known as the Barley Moon. The September Full Moon is usually bright and beautiful. It shines down on the Earth shedding the sun's reflected light on field and garden, city and town. If it appears close to the Autumnal Equinox, it becomes the Harvest Moon, which shines so bright that the farmers can bring in their crops at night.
