"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"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

Day 1961: What things in life make you feel at peace?

Where Do I Find Peace of Mind?

Peace of mind
is difficult to find
unless you have a view
that looks beyond this present darkness.

"Hear Me, ye mortal birds! In the Rose Garden of changeless splendor a Flower hath begun to bloom, compared to which every other flower is but a thorn, and before the brightness of Whose glory the very essence of beauty must pale and wither. Arise, therefore, and, with the whole enthusiasm of your hearts, with all the eagerness of your souls, the full fervor of your will, and the concentrated efforts of your entire being, strive to attain the paradise of His presence, and endeavor to inhale the fragrance of the incorruptible Flower."
Baha’u’llah3

Where do I find peace of mind? In the sacred scriptures of the Baha'i Faith. In the scriptures revealed by The Bab and Baha'u'llah, I see a world completely different from the one I live in today. Through prayer, reading the scriptures, and meditation, I can look beyond this present chaos to see the vision of a world united in all aspects of life. A world where the different religions are no longer compete for the souls of humanity, but rather are all part of God's plan because each reveals a different stage in the material and spiritual evolution of humankind.

DAY 2356: “Where words fail, music speaks.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Let's talk about music's effect on our craft. Do you agree with Anderson?
How much does music influence the words on the page, your thought process?

Music Speaks

Music speaks to our souls, but we have to be careful about the music we choose to listen to. Listening to uplifting music brings us out of depression, while listening to some of the other types deepens the depression.

PROMPT: Remember bringing something from home for “Show and Tell” at school when we were little? Today, I want you to do the same in your blog. Pick an object that means something to you and describe it. What does it remind you of? How did the object come into your life? Does it bring you comfort? What is the story behind the object?

My Mother's Prayer Beads

My Mother's prayer beads are a pinkish-rose color. There are 95 beads on the cord. and they are used the chant “Alláh-u-Abhá”4 every morning. I have a string of green prayer beads, which I put away because I use Mom's pray er beads. In 2018, I used Mom's prayer beads one day and mine the next, however, this year I've started using Mom's beads every day.


 Prayer Beads assist Meditation & Prayer  (E)
Prayer and meditation are spiritual necessities
#1856952 by Prosperous Snow celebrating

After Mom died, I considered giving her prayer beads to someone, but I didn't know who. Mom and I are the only Baha'is in my family. I put her beads away and forgot where I put them. When I was cleaning out a desk drawer I found them again. That's when I started using them off and on. Now I've put my prayer beads away (I know where they are), and have decided to use my Mom's prayer beads.
