"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

"Zoos" 

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1800
Peripheral Vision--In what ways do you think your peripheral vision is important? Has what you’ve seen through your peripheral vision ever helped you? Have you ever used your peripheral vision for poem or story writing ideas?

It's possible I have written a poem about peripheral vision. I haven't used it in short stories or novels. The only time I consider my own peripheral vision is when I go for a eye exam or when I catch a shadow out of the corner of my eye and look in that direction.

Out of the corner of my eye,
I see a shadow flit,
but when I turn to stare
I see nothing there.

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 2193
When you drop any new idea in the pond of the world, you get a ripple effect. You have to be aware that you will be creating a cascade of change. Joel A. Barker ~ Write about the ripple effect in relation to any subject you like.

Ripples

Every day
ripples flow
outward from the Word of God
that was dropped into the sea of humanity
by Blessed Beauty, the Glory of God, Baha'u'llah.

Ripples flow
and across Earth,
and nine-sided temples are built,
“dawning-places of the praise of God”3,
that welcome all humanity, all religions.

SeaWorld. Good? Bad? Ugly? What is your opinion of zoos and aquariums?

As long as zoos and aquariums do a good job of educating the public about the animals in them, I have no problem. Zoos and aquariums are supposed to be educational tools that give information about the creatures, their lives in the wild, and how to protect them. I don't like seeing animals in cages that confine them, and don't reflect--in some small way--their natural habitat in the wild.


"Zoo animals are ambassadors for their cousins in the wild."
Jack Hanna

In 2012, I wrote "Incident at a Roadside Zoo" , Terzanelle, using the word prompts: Tiger, artist, witnesses, and zookeeper. I don't remember which contest I wrote it for. Anyone reading this poem, may think that I don't care for zoos. This isn't necessarily true, the zoos I dislike are the privately owned zoos that are well overseen by animal control, the SPCA, or a wildlife expert. Animals in zoos need humane treatment. Many of the wild animals in zoos, today, have been bred and raised in captivity, which means there is little chance that they can be returned to the wild. Therefore, we need to treat them with respect and care because we, humans, are the ones who took their ancestor out of the wild.
