"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."
Bahá’u’lláh2

Paradise  (E)
Take me to the place of my dreams
#2169678 by Prosperous Snow celebrating

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 2143
October 1 is the International Day for the Elderly, which was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1990. Use this international holiday to inspire your blog post.

The Golden Years:
To the International Day for the Elderly

These should be the peaceful years,
when memories of youth
bring smiles to our faces,
or tears to our eyes.

These should be the joyful years,
when our children and grandchildren
gather around the hearth
of our wisdom,
and sip the warm knowledge
of our experience.

What do our golden years hold?
We move toward the veil
that will split
in a second
when our lungs inhale their final breath
and our body exhales our soul
into the world of God.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1750
On October 1, 959, Edgar I, the Peaceful, became the king of all England.
What do you think about the title of Peaceful, and in which ways are you peaceful?

Peaceful

Peaceful is meditating
on a sentence or paragraph
of the sacred writings revealed
by The Bab, Baha'u'llah, of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

Peaceful is writing
a poem inspired by the holy writing,
or in response to a blog prompt.

Peaceful is chanting
God's Most Great Name,
or intoning a revealed prayer
in the tranquility of my chamber.

Peaceful
is a state of mind
that occurs when listening
to a piece of sacred music.

30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS  (13+)
WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus
#1786069 by Fivesixer

Prompt for October 1: What are your goals for October?

What are my goals for October? Since I'm not participating in the October NaNoWriMo Prep Challenger, I need to focus on writing and accomplishing some items I've put off. I need to transcribe some older poems to "Poem Experiments"  and "Devotional Poetry" , which will allow me to clean out my desk drawers and some boxes in the second bedroom. I also want to write and submit stories and poems to several of the contests on writing.com.


I need to focus on accomplishing the weekly goals I set in "Weekly Goals for 2024"  by checking the list everyday instead of once or twice a week. The goals in that document are reading and writing goals; however, on some of the reading goals I have not written concrete items. The scripture book I have to finish is The Sufferings of Baha'u'llah. It is not a thick book, however, I only read two or three paragraphs of an evening. Lately, instead of reading, I have composed poetry or drafted blog entries in my pen and paper journal. Therefore, I am going to pause my online work during the day, and read a couple of paragraphs either after lunch or after dinner. After I finish The Sufferings of Baha'u'llah, I want to start The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys by Baha'u'llah.

The only other things, I know, I have planned this month is on Sunday, October 7. That day I will Unit Convention at the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas. Sometime around Friday, October 12, I have to pick up my glasses at the optical shop in Henderson. Sunday, October 21, is the monthly devotional service at the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas. Those are all the place, I know, I have to go this month. That does not mean I will not go anyplace else, because surprises come up or I could decide something on the spur of the moment. In my case, since I have to call the Paratransit bus, spur of the moment means a two day notice, unless I can get someone to take me.
