Motivational Monday: My Motivation

Blessings of Baha’u’llah

"The blessings of Bahá’u’lláh are a shoreless sea, and even life everlasting is only a dewdrop therefrom. The waves of that sea are continually lapping against the hearts of the friends, and from those waves there come intimations of the spirit and ardent pulsings of the soul, until the heart giveth way, and willing or not, turneth humbly in prayer unto the Kingdom of the Lord. Wherefore do all ye can to disengage your inner selves, that ye may at every moment reflect new splendours from the Sun of Truth."

‘Abdu’l-Baha 1

My Motivation

My motivation is an ocean,
with neither shore
nor island,
it waves rolling
against the raft of my soul.

The waves of this ocean,
cleanses my heart
of any attachment to matter,
and brings to my spirit
the blessings of the Glory of God.

Good Motivational Monday

It's been a good Motivational Monday. I signed up for "Invalid Item" , and I plan, at this point, to put my entries in my book The Seasonal Construction Cup Edition. I may change the title of that book to The Construction Cup Poems or something similar around February 1. I'll have to think about that.

I managed to post an entry in my offsite blog, Poet 999 - A Butterfly Emerges from her Cocoon2. This is the second post this week, and the goal is a minimum of three posts a week. Before I make the next post, I have to compose the entry. I think I would get more responses if I composed the entry a couple of three days before making it.
