   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| Teeth of a dog When I lie there dead do not look at my rotting teeth. Once... I was young with a mouth full of ivory, smiling at the world that did not smile on me. Do not notice the wrinkles or the bloating flesh. Forget the hair that falls out like a leaf that's spent. Look at me with dignity like I looked at others. Remember me petting an eager dog, wagging its tail, and hoping for love. Witness how the ornery cat came to me in time. Patience my friend, love and patience win. Reminisce how I stopped to watch the butterfly escaping the myna bird's beak. Or how each orchid shared its glory for a week even when no one but me stopped by. When I lie there dead, cover my ugliness if you must, until my body returns to dust; know that my soul has fled. Kare Enga [180.xxx] (30.desember.2023) 30 lines Edited and posted as "Teeth of a dog"  for "Share Your Faith" Note: This is based on what 'Abdu'l Baha wrote in a letter in 1913. It is quite familiar to Baha'is as a caution to look at the good qualities in others. "...you enquire about the source of a story concerning Christ that was told by 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Your message was subsequently referred to the Research Department, which has indicated that the narrative which describes Christ's "sin-covering gaze" when He encountered "the dead body of a dog", is published in "Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá". Although the story is not part of Christian tradition, nor does it appear in the Qur'án, the Research Department advises that its source can be traced to Islamic traditions as it occurs frequently in Muslim literature." https://bahaiforums.com/t/teeth-of-the-dog.2458/ |
