 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. |
Istiqlál (Independence), 18 ‘Aẓamat (Grandeur), 174 Badi - Friday, June 2, 2017 CE "Whoso hath searched the depths of the oceans that lie hid within these exalted words, and fathomed their import, can be said to have discovered a glimmer of the unspeakable glory with which this mighty, this sublime, and most holy Revelation hath been endowed." Bahá’u’lláh1 I think I've discovered a glimmer of the glory in the revelation of Baha'u'llah, but I know it's only a slight glimmer because the ocean of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah is far reaching. I'm living in the early stages of this revelation, only a century into the Revelation and two centuries after Baha'u'llah's birth, so I can't claim to know everything. I know the future is glorious without knowing what the future holds. Right now the world seems to be falling apart, but this is all part of God's great plan for humanity and the planet. Goals I Accomplished This Week  Post, at least, every-other-day to Poet999 - A Butterfly Emerges From Her Cocoon  Completed "Comma Sense Classroom Forum" by Thursday, June 1. Complete week 1 of "Around the World in Fifty-Two Weeks" . Review, at least, a total of 20 items for the week with 5 written by newbies. Respond to, at least, one blog prompt in "Melting Snow" each day. Make a list of goals to complete in June. The main goal for June is to create my website.I'm depressed. I don't know why, but it could be I'm worried about my financial problems. I paid the post due power bill yesterday after I returned home from cashing Faye's check and getting my hair cut. I, also, made out the money order for the rent. I'm not paying the rent online any more for reasons I don't want to go into here. It cost money for the money order, but that is better then depositing a check in the bank and then taking it out immediately. I checked my horoscope this morning, which is something I rarely do anymore. Perhaps if I took a paper then I'd read it more because the online horoscopes aren't as entertaining as those in the paper. Today's Questionable Advice "Jun 2, 2017 - Fear about your financial security could plague you today, Capricorn. Dissatisfaction with some of work you've been doing and delays in reaching some of your goals might have you wondering what you could do better. Doubts about a friend's motives might cause you to waver in your trust of that person. Take the time to consider everything objectively. All is probably not as it seems."2 I have to agree with the last sentence in the horoscope "All is probably not as it seems." It's evening now, so I've stopped worrying. Today the worries and depression struck in the afternoon. Sometimes it strikes in the morning and sometimes later at night. 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.
