"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

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 2220
Write about a birthday. It can be anyone's birthday. Just tell us why that particular birthday is special.

After some contemplation and prayer, I decided to write about the only two birthdays that matter to me anymore. Those are the Birth of the Bab and the Birth of Baha'u'llah, which I cannot write about separately because they fall so close together. These two birthdays are celebrated on the first and second day following the eight new moon after Naw-Ruz. Naw-Ruz is the first day of the Baha'i year, and falls on the vernal equinox. The Universal House of Justice, the governing body of the Baha'i Faith (located in Haifa, Israel, on Mount Carmel), has established that the birthplace of Baha'u'llah as the location of the vernal equinox.


In 2017, we celebrated the two hundredth anniversary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah. In 2019, we will celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the Birth of the Bab. These two, twin, birthdays are one day after another because the Bab was born on 1 Muharram 1235 AH and Baha'u'llah on 2 Muharram 1233 AH. In 2017, I wrote two hundred poems dedicated to Baha'u'llah and placed them in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" . In 2019, I will write two hundred poems dedicated to the Bab and place them in that book. Since writing the poems to Baha'u'llah, I have added a few other poems, inspired by the writings or dedicated to either the Bab or Baha'u'llah, to that book.

"One must remember that the purpose of this life is to prepare the soul for the next."
Baha'i Writings

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1827
The meaning of life for some people can be the privilege of existence or to feel one’s worth or to own a dog or a myriad of other things. What is the meaning of life for you or, if you don't want to talk about yourself, someone you know or a character you’ve created?

What is the Meaning of Life?

What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of being born into this world? For me, the purpose and meaning of life are interconnected with each other and with my spiritual path. A human being is a soul possessing entity, and is born into this material world so that the soul can develop the spiritual virtues it needs to survive in the spiritual world. When the body dies, it returns to the atoms from which it was created. At the death of the body, the soul ascends into the next world--the world of the spirit--and there it has only the spiritual virtues that it developed in its so journey with the physical body.


The body dies, and the soul ascends into the next world. There it continues to advance with whatever spiritual qualities it acquired while partnered with the body. Each soul is a unique creation of the Almighty, and does not return to the physical plan in another body of any kind, whether human, animal, or plant. When the soul ascends into the spiritual world it continues to advance toward God, the eternal Beloved of the soul.

I believe my, individual, purpose is to write spiritual poetry
and to proclaim the name of Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God.
