Fiḍál (Grace), 4 ʻAẓamat (Grandeur) 177 B.E. Tuesday, May 19, 2020
PROMPT May 19th If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are living now? If so, what would you change and why? I came close to death, at least, once in my life, and perhaps more. When I was a child, playing a game of hide-and-seek, I shut myself in an old refrigerator. If I had only one year to live, I would stop having sandwiches on sliced bread. I'd make my sandwiches on soft tacos or have the ingredients put on a pizza. I'd stop wasting time. I feel I've wasted time for the past couple of three weeks. Maybe I haven't because I have accomplished a few stuff, but I thin I could have accomplished more. If I could travel, I would visit all the Baha'i temples across the world and the Baha'i Holy Places in Israel. I'd write poems of mourning to be read at my memorial service. I don't want a funeral, and if I have a funeral I want it to be a closed casket funeral. |
