"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."

Well, January is almost gone, where did the time go? Unfortunately, I was in bed more than I was out. Let's talk about what you accomplished thus far in the new year. Did you make a resolution? Are you keeping it or is it already tossed aside? Did you set any writing goals? How are they going? Is there something you're excited about that's going well thus far?

Now, we're going to talk about February. Our brother group 30 Day is doing a 50/50 fundraising event. There will be prompts and the opportunity to win gps. Fivesixer is looking for packages in the mega raffle as well. Can you help him out.

Love Shouldn't Hurt Poetry and Short Stories contests begin on February 5th.

I believe February is National Haiku Month.

So how about making some new goals for the new month.

January 2019 got off to an interesting, stressful, and inspiring start. I placed my 2019 tentative goals in "New Year's Resolutions" , if I change any of the goals it will be around March 21, which is Naw-Ruz 176 B.E. In the meantime, I have managed to work on all of the goals each week. If I change anything in February, it will be the placeholder goal because it is no longer a placeholder, but a daily or every-other-day goal. I have finish the first of 200 poems I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab, and placed it in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" . That poem is "1 Muharram 1235 AH" .

Day 1871 Life is what happens when you have dreams and are busy making plans. What do you think this means?


What's Life:
Version 1

What's life but a wake-robin,
Leaving its scent in the air,
A rank smelling fake-robin,
Dying for lack of fresh air?

What's life but a banyan tree,
Sending its roots to the ground,
A cancerous effigy,
Spreading itself all around?

Life, life, we have cursed you twain,
With rife, missile, and knife,
Atom bomb, and acid rain,
How do you answer, "What's Life?"

What's Life:
Version 2

What's life but a didactic,
Lesson on how to survive,
Though its course is erratic,
It teaches us how to exist.

What's life but a quest,
To educate the soul about self,
And humanity's roll in the cosmos,
It bestows true wealth.

Blogging Propts

*Bullet* Describe the taste of rubies.
*Bullet* In Remembrance of...
*Bullet* Write about a woman.
*Bullet* Write about a man.

Prompt: Write about a woman.

A Woman Named Tahirih

A woman named Tahirih, dressed as a bride on her wedding day, stood facing her executioners. They were men like the ones she had known all her life. Men like her father, men like her brothers, men like her husband, and men like the religious leaders. Men who believed that women were their property. Men who either did not realize the Promised One had come ore refused to believe it. Men who never questioned orders given them by their superiors or the religious leaders, who feared the lose of the power they have over the citizens of Persia.


A woman named Tahirih, holding a silk scarf in her hand, stood facing her executioners. Knowing her children were being raised by one of her husband's other wives. Knowing her children would be told she was a heretic or worse. Knowing she loved them, but that love could not blind her to the Promised One, the Gate of God, or overshadow her love for Allah.

A woman named Tahirih, reviewing the major decisions that led to this moment, stared at the drunken soldier chosen to execute her. First there was the dream: In it she had encountered the Bab, the Gate of God, the Promised One. Second: She had accepted Him without having met Him; the other seventeen Letters3 had met Him, and accepted Him during their meetings. Third, the Conference of Badasht. Her decision there was irrevocable, even at the time she made it. She had removed her veil, a thing unheard of in Persia (now Iran) at that time. She had removed her veil and went into the garden at Badasht with the rest of the believers, all male, and the world changed.

A woman named Tahirih, whispering a prayer, stood facing her executioners. She prayed, not for herself but, for those left behind. She was going to meet the Promised One at last. It was her fellow believers she prayed for, asking Allah t o make them steadfast in the face of opposition.

A woman named Tahirih handed her executioner her silk scarf and said: "You can kill me anytime you want, but you cannot prevent the emancipation of women."

In the mid eighteenth hundreds, a woman named Tahirih accepted the Gate of God. As a results of her faith she removed her veil. As a results of her faith she was strangled with her silk scarf, her body thrown into a well and stones were placed on top. The world has never been the same since.
