Baha'u'llah is my rock
on the shifting sands of life,
He is my bridge
across the troubled waters
of material existence.

Gratitude List for 16 Qawl

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that I was able to finish Reflections on the Revelation of the Bab   by Ingo Hoffman. This is the first installment of the series The Apocalypse Christian Art and Climate Change  .
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this late autumn morning
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn.
          ...for chocolate doughnuts to go with my coffee.
          ...that I have 10,450 points in my YouGov account.
          ...for the apple sauce I had with my breakfast
          ...that I have 426 points in my Survey Junkie account.

Climate Change: The Voice of Earth1

Listen to the voice of Mother Earth,
weeping over her children's disrespect,
Crying for the destruction of her forest,
for the melting of her glaciers,
and the fracking of her bones.

Can you feel the pain of Mother Earth,
as humanity destroys
continent by continent
her beauty
and humanity's chance to survive.
