Tuesday Poems and Gratitude List

Fiḍál (Grace), 16 ʻAláʼ (Loftiness) 176 B.E. Tuesday, March 17, 2020

On the Sixteenth Day of Fast1

I meditate on a Fasting prayer:
it is the wine of Divine love
flowing from the Holy Spirit
into the chalice of immortality.

Gratitude List for 16 ʻAláʼ

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful winter morning.
          ...that I have 578 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the penny I found laying face up on the floor.
          ...that I have 1,012,434 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the Arizona sweet ice tea I had for dinner.

Facebook Status Update

The world has gone utterly mad!
I WILL NOT panic!
I have placed all my affairs
in the hands of Baha'u'llah.
