 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. |
‘Idál (Justice), 8 Bahá Splendor 175 B.E. - Wednesday, March 28, 2018 "O people! Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship." Baha'u'llah1 It's Wednesday, half way through the last week in March 2018. This is my second post in this journal this week, which is less than I posted the last three weeks. I don't know if I'll post any more this week or not, I usually make that decision on a daily basis. I like to make sure I post on Wednesday, because that is normally when the writing.com newsletters reach my inbox. I'm going to focus on reviewing some of the items in the newsletters today, and see what I can do about writing some poems. I realized last night that the only thing I want to do is write poetry. I have some novels to finish, so I will work on rewriting/editing "Scavengers" Submitted to "Spiritual Newsletter (March 28, 2018)" : "Thank you for sharing this information about His Holiness Krishna. I believe that the foundations of all religions come from the Unknowable Creator, and that the only way we, human beings, can know the Almighty is through his Manifestations or Avatars. All reveal the divine attribute or virtues to humanity. I enjoyed reading this newsletter because it shared information from ordinary people who believe in His Holiness Krishna. Keep sharing because it is important to let people know about any and all the the Divine Manifestations (Mirrors of the Attributes of God)."I requested a poetry card for the "Invalid Item" activity. I have two other poetry activities going, besides "The Daily Poem" , going on in April, and those two activities are "Dew Drop Inn" and "Invalid Item" . I have, also, joined "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~" . This means cutting down on some of my blogging activities for a while. I think in April I will post one blog entry a day either in "Melting Snow" , "Writing in Snow" , or Poet 999 - A Butterfly Emerges from Her Cocoon https://poet999.blogspot.com/. If I get a chance, after my daily poems are written and my review goals are met, I will post to more than one of the blog.God looks at our hearts, the Almighty sees our souls: Purity of intention. Do we search for light, the Holy Spirit that lit the lamps of God's Messengers. 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.
