Kamal (Perfection), 9 Kalimat (Words) 177 B.E. - Monday, July 20, 2020
Day 2803: "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” Mahatma Gandhi - Use this quote to inspire your blog entry. It's more important to have faith in God, and show that faith by the way you treat other human beings. Faith in God is shown through actions. People will disappoint you, but God never disappoints. God is always there waiting for you to call on Him either directly or through one of His Divine Manifestations.
DAY 2192: “Whenever a poem enacts what it is about, it creates a way for itself to live dramatically inside the reader. It becomes an experience unto itself.” Edward Hirsh, from the book How to Read a Poem, page 45. Do you agree and if so, which kinds of poems leave the same or similar effect inside you? You consume a poem the same way you eat a piece of chocolate pie, one word bite at a time letting the flavor energize your mind, body, and soul . |
