 |  Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
|
Staring at a blank page is like staring into a snowfield. The snow, untouched by civilization and unmarked by living creatures, blinds you for a few minutes, it glistens reflecting subtle shades of pure white and rainbows at odd angles. If you stare at the snow too long, you get lost in the interplay of light and shadow. As the day wears on, you become awestruck at the beauty of the snow's perfection. You marvel at the way an oak tree cast its ebony shadow across the pure white snow. You watch the tree's shadow change, grow and shrink, as Earth turns and the sun moves from morning to evening. If you stand out in the snow too long without moving, you risk snow bite or freezing. If you are fortunate, a red fox will walk across your line of sight. The fox will leave his footprints written in the snowfield. As you watch the fox move, the spell holding you in one spot staring at the snow is broken. You are free to go inside out of the cold and out of danger. I must say, writing 500 words a day isn't difficult, unless I'm attempting to write on a single subject. On Monday, October 28, 2013, I began posting my weekly goals at "Weekly Goals"  . On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 I began keeping track of may accomplished goals in this journal."O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds." Bah'u'll'h The Hidden Words of Bah'u'll'h, Part I.'From the Arabic, #31, page 11 'Heinlein's Rules for Writers Rule One: You Must Write Rule Two: Finish What Your Start Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold' Robert A. Heinlein It is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form of occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have graciously exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your hearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks unto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in idleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which profiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed in this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom and utterance shineth resplendent. Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 21-29: gr 32 I changed the way I did entries in this book several times. Beginning on March 21, 2018 the entries will cover the topics of spiritual, inspirational, and religions. However, the genres it will be under are Women's, Inspirational, and Spiritual with a tag of Religious. |
Kamál (Perfection), 10 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 175 B.E. - Monday, January 28, 2019 Facebook Status Update There are 274 day until October 29, 2019. Today I begin the first of 200 poems dedicated to The Bab. I placed the beginning of the poem in my writing.com blog entry. Gratitude List For 10 Sulṭán Today I am thankful...  ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn. ...for the mini cupcake to go with my morning coffee. ...that I was able to begin the first of the 200 poems dedicated to The Bab today. The beginning of the poem is found in "Happiness, 1 Muharram 1235 AH, and Letting Go of the Past" . ...for the homemade chicken soup I had today for lunch. ...that I have two feedback items for my February edition of the Fantasy newsletter. ...that it's been nice enough today to keep the door open all day.Life Exists1 The miracle is that life exists! It exists as coral on the ocean floor, It exists as flowers in a hidden meadow, and as trees on a snow capped mountain peak. Life exists concealed in empty space! It exists hidden from human eyes, It exists concealed in the stone of comets, It exists hidden as modules in asteroids, and as living creatures on distant planets. Life exist in the midnight of our fears, It exists in the awesome joy of our hopes, And in every direction of reality. Life exists as a procedure to the enlightened, It exists as a confirmation to the faithful, And as instructions to the seeker. Life exist in every corner of the universe; It exists in every possible and impossible echo system; And in an incalculable amount. Life exists as humanity: Humanity a single group, and a single species sharing one planet. Life exists under strenuous conditions, That give a poet pause to think and to immediately express the universe: "We are the universe expressing itself!" Poet's Note: ▼ Footnotes |

You kept hope, prayed, and that paid off.
Only bush honeysuckle in bloom. It's not very fragrant. The intoxicating vines bloom later. But we have lilacs... until this heat roasts them.
