 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 ), 5 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 174 B.E. - Monday, January 22, 2018 Spiritual Susceptibilities "True religion is the foundation of spiritual union, the union of thought, the union of susceptibilities, the unity of customs and the ideal chain binding together all the children of men." Bahá’í Writings On Sunday, January 21, I went to Devotional Services at the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas. The subject of this month's service was Spiritual Susceptibilities, the above quote was in the flyer, about the Sunday devotional, I received in my Cox inbox on January 17. In addition to the reading from the Baha'i scriptures there were readings from the Bible, Qur'an, Krishna, and Buddha. There were numerous Baha'is and non-Baha'is at this inspiring service. Spiritual susceptibilities, divine attributes reflected from the human soul, and reveal to humanity through the Manifestations of the Almighty who revealed the religions the citizens of Earth. Motivational Monday: The Fourth Monday in January 2018 Goals for January 22-26, 2018  Edit at least one chapter in "Scavengers" and post book on "Please Review" . Essay/poem for "Invalid Item" Entry in "I Write in 2018" . Review at least 7 items during the week, with at least two written by newbies. Finish at least one of the following: Poem in "The History of the Divine Feminine" titled Maid of Heaven or Poem in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" titled Fear of God Make entries (at least 3) in "The Daily Poem" . Make at lest 3 entries in my offsite blog. Read https://www.wattpad.com/story/132347172-the-royal-renegadeI'm sure there are other things I need to do and write this week. I have to put the clean clothes away, as well as clean off the bed and the chair in my bedroom. There are a couple of online articles I want to read that I didn't list. I may have to start putting the article I want to read on my weekly goal list, however, I don't want the list to get too long because I have difficulty accomplishing more than eight items. Accomplishing eight items pushes me, but it isn't impossible to complete those in five days, if I don't waste time or get distracted with solitaire, mahjong, or Sudoku. I wonder if I can go a full week without playing those games; maybe I need to focus on one-day-at-a-time. |

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.
