 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!

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.

‘Idál (Justice), 3 Kamál (Perfection) 174 Badi - Wednesday, August 2, 2017 CE "It is the light of the intellect which gives us knowledge and understanding, and without this light the physical eyes would be useless. This light of the intellect is the highest light that exists, for it is born of the Light Divine. The light of the intellect enables us to understand and realize all that exists, but it is only the Divine Light that can give us sight for the invisible things, and which enables us to see truths that will only be visible to the world thousands of years hence." ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, Paris, November 5, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)1 God's gift to humanity is the light of the intellect. Without this light humans would not be able to create art or discover the wonderful inventions that have been discovered over the decades. This light is born of the Divine Light, and human being received it when God created us. It is this light that helps use see truth, and assists us in accomplishing science and the other things humans accomplish. Today's Reviews for "Game of Thrones" Review of "The Adventures of Jade"  Review of "The Guide" Review of "All Aboard for Detention- Flash Fiction" Invalid Review Review of "Daily Flash 3 : Woodland play" Review of "Miguel's Duty" Today I did 6 review for "Game of Thrones" House of Florent. I attempted to do a 7th review before posting, but I couldn't focus on the review. Hopefully I can raise the amount to 7 or 8 tomorrow. I stated the writing assignment that is due Friday. I like what I have so far; however I need to add more to the poem. Some concrete detail about Mom or maybe Dad which were sad moments. I'm not sure whether losing Mom was sadder then finding out Daddy died.Completed and Uncompleted Poems Dedicated to The Blessed Beauty Posted in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" Completed Poems 1 to 94, 98, 100, 102, 106, 119 Uncompleted Poems 95 to 97, 99, 101, 103 to 105, 107 to 117, 118, 120 to 124 To the Blessed Beauty (1) Bahá, (2) Jalál, (3) Jamál, (4) ‘Aẓamat, (5) Núr, (6) Raḥmat, (7) Kalimát, (8) Kamál, (9) Asmá’, (10)‘Izzat, (11) Mashíyyat, (12) ‘Ilm, (13) Qudrat, (14) Qawl, (15) Masá’il, (16) Sharaf, (17) Sulṭán, (18) Mulk, (19) ‘Alá’, (20) Fiḍál, (21) ‘Idál, (22) Istijlál, and (23) Istiqlál.

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.
