Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block
Staring at a blank page is like staring into a snowfield. The snow, untouched by civilization and unmarked by living creatures, blinds you for a few minutes, it glistens reflecting subtle shades of pure white and rainbows at odd angles. If you stare at the snow too long, you get lost in the interplay of light and shadow.

As the day wears on, you become awestruck at the beauty of the snow's perfection. You marvel at the way an oak tree cast its ebony shadow across the pure white snow. You watch the tree's shadow change, grow and shrink, as Earth turns and the sun moves from morning to evening. If you stand out in the snow too long without moving, you risk snow bite or freezing.

If you are fortunate, a red fox will walk across your line of sight. The fox will leave his footprints written in the snowfield. As you watch the fox move, the spell holding you in one spot staring at the snow is broken. You are free to go inside out of the cold and out of danger.


I must say,
writing 500 words a day
isn't difficult,
unless I'm attempting to write
on a single subject.

On Monday, October 28, 2013, I began posting my weekly goals at "Weekly Goals" . On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 I began keeping track of may accomplished goals in this journal.

"O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning;
for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds."
Bah'u'll'h The Hidden Words of Bah'u'll'h, Part I.'From the Arabic, #31, page 11

'Heinlein's Rules for Writers

         Rule One: You Must Write
         Rule Two: Finish What Your Start
         Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order
         Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market

Robert A. Heinlein

It is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form of occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have graciously exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your hearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks unto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in idleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which profiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed in this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom and utterance shineth resplendent.
Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 21-29: gr 32

I changed the way I did entries in this book several times. Beginning on March 21, 2018 the entries will cover the topics of spiritual, inspirational, and religions. However, the genres it will be under are Women's, Inspirational, and Spiritual with a tag of Religious.

Istijlál (Majesty), 13 ʻIlm (Knowledge) 178 B.E. - Thursday, October 28, 2021


"Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I yield Thee thanks for having enabled me to recognize the Manifestation of Thyself, and for having severed me from Thine enemies, and laid bare before mine eyes their misdeeds and wicked works in Thy days, and for having rid me of all attachment to them, and caused me to turn wholly towards Thy grace and bountiful favors. I give Thee thanks, also, for having sent down upon me from the clouds of Thy will that which hath so sanctified me from the hints of the infidels and the allusions of the misbelievers that I have fixed my heart firmly on Thee, and fled from such as have denied the light of Thy countenance. Again I thank Thee for having empowered me to be steadfast in Thy love, and to speak forth Thy praise and to extol Thy virtues, and for having given me to drink of the cup of Thy mercy that hath surpassed all things visible and invisible.

Thou art the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the All-Loving."
Bahá’u’lláh12

On the last Thankful Thursday in October 2021,
         I am thankful ...
                   *BulletV* ...for the prayer revealed by the Bab, Baha'u'llah, and 'Abdu'l-Baha. I am thankful for these prayers because no matter how difficult things get or how difficult I may find it to pray there is always a prayer to read. Once I read the prayer, my attitude changes.
                   *BulletV* ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
                   *BulletV* ...for the fresh brewed coffee I had on this beautiful autumn morning.
                   *BulletV* ...that I have completed 71 poems dedicated to 'Abdu'l-Baha. I have 29 poems to finish in 29 days.
                   *BulletV* ...for the C-note I received today.

Feast of Asma


Baha'u'llah,
I give You thanks you for the discovery of the COVID vaccines,
for being fully vaccinated,
and for the mild side-effects I experienced.


I give You thanks for the inspiration
that helped me to write
forty-four poems
toward the one hundred
I am writing for the Centenary
of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

Istijal (Majesty), 13 Kamal (Perfection) 178 B.E. - Thursday, August 12, 2021


Today I am thankful for the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah, because when I read them I can hear the echoes of the Holy Spirit flowing through them. Each time I read a prayer or passage from one of the tablets or epistles revealed by Baha'u'llah, I know that this is the Word of God for this day. I still enjoy reading and being inspired by scriptures from the Prophets sent in the past. However, it is the words of the Baha'i scriptures that give me a feeling of serenity.


"I will speak to you concerning the special teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. All the divine principles announced by the tongue of the Prophets of the past are to be found in the words of Bahá’u’lláh; but in addition to these He has revealed certain new teachings which are not found in any of the sacred Books of former times. I shall mention some of them; the others, which are many in number, may be found in the Books, Tablets and Epistles written by Bahá’u’lláh—such as the Hidden Words, the Glad Tidings, the Words of Paradise, Tajallíyát, Ṭarázát and others. Likewise, in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas there are new teachings which cannot be found in any of the past Books or Epistles of the Prophets."
'Abdu'l-Baha34

Today I am thankful that I discovered two articles about 'Abdu'l=Baha's journey to Paris, France, in 1911. Those articles are (1) Memories of the Sojourn of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Paris https://www.bahai.org/documents/essays/lady-blomfield/memories-sojourn-abdul-bah... and (2) Glimpse of Abdu'l-Bahá in Paris by Alice R.

so give thanks for something
or someone special
in your life.

I received my first COVID=19 vaccination on Tuesday, July 13, my next appointment is on Tuesday, August 3. I went to the CVS pharmacy close to where I live, so I wasn't away from the apartment very long. It was a nice outing, and the weather wasn't too hot that early in the morning.

I will be getting out more in August, because I have two doctors' appointment, and I have to get a Nevada ID. I don't know, as yet, what where else I will be going.

                   *BulletV* ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn this week.
                   *BulletV* ...for the prayers revealed by The Bab, Baha'u'llah, and 'Abdu'l-Baha.

I submitted the following to "Spiritual Newsletter (May 26, 2021)" : "I believe in Progressive Revelation, that is, that God sends divine messengers or prophets, at periodic intervals, to assist humanity in its path toward God. Each of these messengers were conduits for the Holy Spirit, and each brought teachings or revealed sacred scriptures that assisted humanity in its spiritual and material evolution. Some of the divine messengers that we know of are Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ, Buddha, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah. The Bab and Baha'u'llah are the latest in this line of messengers. God will send another messenger in, at least, a thousand years to continue to assist humanity in its progress."
