Sunday and Monday Poems and Gratitude List
Jamál (Beauty), 11 Mashíyyat (Will) 175 B.E. - Sunday, October 7, 2018

To An Automobile1

Consuming in hast miles of macadam,
You transport me in belted security,
From dusk to dawn and back again.

Gulping gallons of volatile liquid,
Your horses purr like feeding kittens,
As your respiration poisons the air I breath.

Without you I am confined to to a snails pace,
Or to the queue waiting for a bus,
Or dependent on the kindness of other human beings.

Gratitude List for 11 Mashíyyat

Today I am thankful...
         *BulletR* ...that I was able to attend the Unit Convention at the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas today.
         *BulletR* ...that I finished the edition of the Spiritual Newsletter yesterday and submitted it.


Kamál (Perfection), 12 Mashíyyat (Will) 175 B.E. - Monday, October 8, 2018

Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence2

Whispers
echo across the dark parsecs
that separate worlds
encased in embryonic sacks
of atmospheric gasses:
eggs containing
the viable embryos
of interstellar civilizations.

Gratitude List for 12 Mashíyyat

Today I am thankful...
         *BulletR* ...that there is snow on Mount Charleston. It makes the weather colder here in the valley, while making The Mountain beautiful to look at.
         *BulletR* ...for the International Delight Reese's Peanut Buttercup creamer I had for my coffee this morning.
         *BulletR* ...that I have the Editors Picks for my editions of the November Comedy and Fantasy newsletters started. It helps if I have the editors picks completed before I start writing the news letter.
         *BulletR* ...for the small chocolate covered doughnuts I had to go with my coffee this morning.
         *BulletR* ...that I read My Spiritual Journey, and Where it Took Me   by Patricia Wilcox on BahaiTeachings.org  , because that article motivated me to think about writing a blog entry about my spiritual journey. I'll start the entry in my pen and paper journal, so that I can focus on the important items I want to include.
         *BulletR* ...that I have 105 points in my Survey Spot account.
         *BulletR* ...that it is cool enough, without being too cold, to keep the front door open all day.
         *BulletR* ...that I have 3605,800 GPs in my Gift Points account this afternoon.
