Fiḍál (Grace), 6 Bahá (Splendor) 176 B.E. - Tuesday, March 26, 2019
PROMPT: March 26th - What is your opinion of social media? Do you use it? If so, what is your social platform of choice? Social media is a good way for families and friends across the country and the world to keep in touch. I am a member of Facebook, because it was, and still is, the only way for me to keep in regular touch with most of my family. Not that I have a very big family. I much prefer to communicate with fellow Baha'is and my friends on Facebook.
DAY 1925: What do you think is the difference between a time you realized the hard way that you were mistaken and a time you were embarrassed for being inappropriately dressed for an occasion? If given a choice, which one would you prefer to happen to you or which one would one of your fictional characters choose? There is a 90% chance that, someone, will think I'm inappropriately dressed anyplace I go. It doesn't bother me anymore. I usually wear what is comfortable for me. I don't consider any fashions that are "in style", with certain and very specific items, as appropriate for me.
DAY 2319: April is National Poetry Month. Do you have any special poetry plans for April? Are you going to write poetry or simply read it? Do you have a book to for your Nation Poetry Month Poems? I plan to participate in National Poetry Month by writing, reading, and reviewing poetry poetry. Right now I'm writing a series of 200 poems dedicated to the Bab, which will be posted in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" . Any other poems I write specific for National Poetry Month will be posted in "National Poetry Writing Month" . I may also post some poems in "Snow Scribbles" and/or "Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond" . |
