For: "Space Blog

from: "Beauty by Nikola~Ugh Summer!

Hard to rate/review this short musing from 2004. It's pleasant enough and could be a good Space Cadet prompt. I can imagine a planet setting or character being inspired by this wonderful image:

Safe in its haven
of harsh thorns,
the rose offers
the promise of
grace amid chaos.

Would the Crew be lost in the sensation? Hmm... That said, the poem is pleasant but weak poetically. 'fingers' would be better than 'senses'; too generic (a rose is a rose is a rose has been done before); words like 'the' and 'is' provide no action nor specificity. To strengthen it would have to be transformed. As is I give it a 3.5.

Write about beauty in your Blog entry today.

I've written about 'beauty' too many times before ... and will again, but not at this moment. However, a Baha'i prayer would be uplifting:

O my Lord! Make Thy beauty to be my food, and Thy presence my drink, and Thy pleasure my hope, and praise of Thee my action, and remembrance of Thee my companion, and the power of Thy sovereignty my succorer, and Thy habitation my home, and my dwelling-place the seat Thou hast sanctified from the limitations imposed upon them who are shut out as by a veil from Thee.

Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the Most Powerful.

— Bahá’u’lláh

13. Do you deal well with change?

Yes and no. I've had to be flexible when traveling which I handled, but not necessarily with grace. I've learned that I may not always thrive when I'm traumatized and that wounds may not heal but somehow at the end of the day I'm still here, there or somewhere. I will survive! Costa Rica and being homeless were two instances of survival. A case of thriving was landing in Oklahoma ... I actually did well; same with U Kansas. Covid is really pushing my buttons... and not in a good way.

14. How do you cope with stressful situations?

Again... not well; but stressful for me isn't necessarily a problem for someone else. If I am with someone who knows what to say or do then I may as well let go and let them handle it. At home or alone? Distraction. Breathing. Knowing 'this too shall pass'. Unfortunately ... sleeping. I'm avoidant as times, easily hurt and curl up and become invisible or coccon. If I deal with it... that pent up stress tends to dissipate.
