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 Footnotes |
‘Idál (Justice), 14 Bahá (Splendor) 176 B.E. - Wednesday, April 3, 2019 There are 209 days until October 29, I have finished seven poems dedicated to The Bab, and placed them in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" . In addition I have six lines, which could go in a poem. I can't seen the think of a title or a theme, although, I could use one of the miscellaneous lines as either the them or the title. The poems I have finished are "1 Muharram 1235 AH" , "Intoning the Prayer of The Bab" , "The Great Trumpet Has Sounded" , "Portal of Grace: To The Bab" , "The Wayfarer's Journey Begins" , "Who is The Bab?" , and "Declaration of The Bab" . I'm reading The Dawn-Breakers again, and have finished the first chapter. If I'm lucky I will finish the other 193 poems and the book before October 29. It isn't that I haven't had any inspiration, I have. It's just that none of the inspiration has involved poems dedicated to the Bab. I'v listened to a couple of Luke Slott's talks about the Gate of Heaven, and the stories from The Dawn-Breakers. I think I will begin listening to those videos from the beginning, and see if I can find more inspiration. |
