Martyrdom of The Bab

"O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. Oh God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord."

‘Abdu’l-Bahá1

It's Sunday, the beginning of a new week. I finished "Canada"  yesterday and posted it on "Invalid Item" , so there isn't any use worrying about it now. I can't say that I'm happy with that essay, but it finished for the present. I may rewrite it later, but for now I'm letting it stand as it is. A new country will be posted on "Invalid Item"  tomorrow and I have other items I have to finish. There are two or three interactive stories I have to add chapters to, I have to finish a fantasy poem, a story for "Rhythms & Writing: Official WDC Contest" , and I have seven poem started in "Bicentenary Poems and Prose" . I also have to finish my edition of the fantasy newsletter, and do the Blogger of the Week for "Blogging Circle of Friends " .
