"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"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

Feast of Questions

On the Feast Day of Questions
I contemplate the beauty
Of mid December

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 2215
My favorite holiday scents are cedar, ginger, molasses, and cinnamon. What are yours? Do they bring back childhood memories, if so what are they?

Aromas of Childhood

Bayberry candles
Their tapered beauty burned bright
Every Christmas Eve

The perfume of bayberry candles create part of my childhood memories. I know that my grandmother and, at least, one of her sisters and/or sisters-in-law burned bayberry candles on Christmas Eve. As a child, I thought that was the only time of year you could purchase those wonderful scented candles. After I grew up, I found that they can be purchased all year long. After I discovered one could buy them all year long, I began to wonder why Grandma lit them only on Christmas Eve and sometimes on New Year's Eve.

I discovered one, possible, reason on Real Bayberry Candle and Bayberry Legend  . Apparently lighting a bayberry candle on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve is supposed to bring good luck. Since, I know that Grandma was superstitious, she lit the candle to bring good luck and to make the house smell nice for visitors who might come calling on those day. At that time, it was common for friends and family to drop in unannounced on certain holidays. I guess, because I never asked her, she wanted her already clean smelling house to smell better and more festive on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for Day 1822
What things are you sensitive about?

My Sensitivities

My sensitivities have changed as I have matured. I'm not as easily offended by other people's lack of respect or consideration. Most of my present, and every changing, sensitivities are my own business, simply because I've found it does very little good to let other people know. Most people wouldn't understand without me going into details that most people would prefer not to know because of their own sensitivities.

My main sensitivity, at present, concerns the way people treat each other. I am offended, when lack of respect is shown to others because they are of a different religion, nationality, color, opinion, etc. We are all human beings and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. There is only one God, who created all human beings and revealed all religions. We are one species, the Creator is known by many names, and the foundation of all religions is one.
