PROMPT: Write about your ideal weekend. Ideal Weekend It's an ideal weekend: What makes an ideal weekend? A prayer whispered at dawn. A fresh brewed carafe of strong black coffee. A cook morning breeze in late spring or early summer. Anticipation of and interaction with the members of my faith community. The sun peeking between May's gray-white clouds, while casting dark shadows across the black asphalt of Sunrise Avenue. An ideal weekend: Devotional Services at the Baha'i Center. What else makes an ideal weekend? Numerous activities. An ideal weekend is a state of mind, and a personal definition. Different weekend activities and non-activities Placing all my problems and difficulties in Baha'u'llah's hands. Listening to my playlist on YouTube. Reading prayer and sacred scriptures. My ideal weekends flow across thirty days, as I move forward attempting to overcome procrastination. |
