Fellow blogger Prosperous Snow believes the future is bright. I strongly agree. Do you?

Do we have the power to change the world? With the terrorist scares, global warming, economic stress, war, it is easy to become pessimistic.

Some of us refuse to give up our optimism. For nfdarbe and me it is because we are Bahá'ís. Today is the day of Power of the month of Power (Kamal) according to our calendar. A befitting day to speak of this.

nfdarbe explains this in her eloquent blog entry: "Deep Thoughts on Monday Morning" . I dare not try to match her skills or logic or clear concise writing (I'm what they call a poet). These quotes come from her argumentation to support her premise that the World is a good place and getting better in spite of the present darkness around us.

Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Sikh or Wiccan or one of many religions that I have failed to mention, please take a moment to read this survey and respond. Atheists and Agnostics are welcome too! I've tried to give everyone options that won't embarass. Some questions are not required for that reason. And feel free to email me or leave comments.

A final humorous quote from nfdarbe:

"... stressed is desserts spelled back words."

Break out the chocolate! I've had enough stress for a lifetime!

Peace, KÃ¥re.
