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
         Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold'

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.

Poem: Editing a Novel
Posted https://poet999.blogspot.com/2020/06/poem-editing-novel.html
June 9, 2020

Sometimes,
when I go to rewrite,
I look at the plot
and wonder what
I--or perhaps my character--
was thinking.

At other times,
my plot is hidden
beneath a plate of spaghetti
without meatballs.

Ascension of Baha'u'llah

Prayer For Inspiration

"Grant, O Thou Loving Lord, that all may stand firm and steadfast, shining with everlasting splendour, so that, at every breath, gentle breezes may blow from the bowers of Thy loving-kindness, that from the ocean of Thy grace a mist may rise, that the kindly showers of Thy love may bestow freshness, and the zephyr waft its perfume from the rose garden of divine unity."
Abdu’l-Baha1

I give thanks for inspiration,
for the promptings of my soul
that helps my use my sense perception
to find beauty in the world.

I give thanks for meditation,
which lets me use my reason
contemplate traditions
that helps me find for inspiration.

I am thankful
I started a new normal today
by having my haircut short.

Everyone is talking about a new normal. What is this new normal everyone is talking about? Is it making a appointment to have your haircut, while wearing a mask? Perhaps its letting go of the past, or starting the day with a new point of view. Maybe it's forgiving those who have put down and wronged you. What does a new normal mean to you?

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day,
Mama,
I miss you so much more today
than I did when you passed away.

I remember the Mother's Day celebration,
and the Holy Day commemorations
that we attended together
before Alzheimer's stole your memories.

Now all I can do is say
prayers for the advancement
of your soul
and hope to meet you again
in the Abha Paradise.

It's Saturday!
It's the day before Mother's Day!
Mother's Day
is a day of joy and sadness,
of laughter and tears,
of memories that come unbidden
into a daughter's mind.

It's been 8 years,
since I celebrated Mother's Day
with my mother.

On Mom's last Mother's Day,
I remember her laughing,
but I can't remember why she laughed;
perhaps it was at a silly joke I told
or something we watched on television.

It doesn't matter why she was laughing,
because it was her laughter
that was important
and keeps echoing through my mind.

"Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday."
Bahá’u’lláh23

Gratitude
makes each morning better than last evening,
and each day better than yesterday.

In this time of adversity
and uncertainty--
when we don't know
if the senior citizen
who just delivered our lunch order
has COVID-19--
we give thanks for our food,
place everything in the hands of God,
and get on with our day.

Gratitude and thanksgiving
helps us deal with the uncertainties
of everyday life.

"Therefore, we must thank God that He has created for us both material blessings and spiritual bestowals. He has given us material gifts and spiritual graces, outer sight to view the lights of the sun and inner vision by which we may perceive the glory of God. He has designed the outer ear to enjoy the melodies of sound and the inner hearing wherewith we may hear the voice of our Creator."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, 4

I give thanks to the Lord
for the sparrows
nesting in the pine tree.

I give thanks to the Lord
for the wind
blowing through the palm trees.

I give thanks to the Lord
for the bright sun
and blue sky.

I Am An Elder5

Do not call me elderly:
I am an elder!

An Elder,
with sixty plus years of wisdom
acquired through surviving
in a materialistic society
that values youth and beauty
more than age and wisdom.

Do not dismiss me
or my ideas
with "OK Boomer!"
show a little respect
and listen to what I have to say;
even if you don't take my advice,
you may hear something interesting
about history and elder wisdom.

On a Spring Morning in 20206

The chill in the morning air
doesn't stop the birds from singing
or building nest.

I listened to them
as I waited for the paratransit bus
to take me to my obligatory blood draw.

Social distancing ignored
because I need my med refiled
and the doctor won't refill them
without the blood work report.

Getting Out of Your Rut8

Has social distancing
put you in a rut.

You don't have to get out of the house
to get out of your rut,
all you have to do is get up
and chase the mouse
through the house.

What?
You don't have a mouse
in your house!

In that case I suggest
you do what my mother
and grandmother always did
when they were in a rut:
rearrange
the furniture.

Stay at home
out of the crowds,
stay healthy
and don't bitch or groan.

Stay at home
until this health crisis passes,
and when it does
go to a movie,

or for a walk

Stay at home

I Walk By Faith10

Each day
I walk by faith
step-by-step across
a narrow
stone covered path
that leads
through the valley of shadows.

I walk by faith
placing every test and difficulty
in the hands of God,
knowing my Lord is sufficient.

Dreaming of My Grandparents11

A chill in the morning air
brings back memories of last night's dream
of my Grandparents
working together on a farm in Oklahoma.

I never saw the farm!
I remember once
Grandpa point out the land
where where the house and out buildings
once stood,
but in the dream
they were working together
and the buildings were standing
as the must have stood
when my Grandparents were first married.
