Jalál (Glory), 11 Jalál (Glory) 177 B.E. Saturday, April 18, 2020 Today is Saturday! Today is the first day of my week! This is the second entry I've made in this blog. The first entry was " Raining Down"
Staying at Home: Up We Go! Dig Deep. Share your best, most profound uplifting words of wisdom for those who have become disheartened and down. Up We Go! Words Of Wisdom Learn to like yourself! Accept all of your weirdness as uniquely you. Learn to love yourself! There is only one of you, your life has purpose.
Day 2710: Write about either a figurative mountain or a literal mountain. Mountains I live in a valley, surrounded by the spectacular peaks of the Rocky Mountains. I have witness many glorious sunrises and sunsets. Once, when driving to work at dawn, I saw Sunrise Mountain crowned in glory because the rising sun turned the mountain's crest to gold. I have all witness sunset in which fire appeared to rain from the sky. Winter is especially wonderful because I can look up to Mount Charleston to see it crown by snow.
DAY 2104: Use these random words: marine, damn, chauvinist, crew, sulfur,unfix, and edition in your post today. Thoughts on Words Damn: A word I've used too much in my life, it only causes misery and strife. According to the Oxford dictionary a chauvinist is a "person displaying aggressive or exaggerated patriotism" or "displaying excessive or prejudiced support for their own cause, group, or sex"3, which is a very good description of politics and many politicians. Sulfur is a pollinate! Was anyone in my family a Marine? My brothers were both in the Navy. My father served in the Army Air Crop. I'll have to do a little research to find out if any one in the family swerved in the Marine Corp. Unfix isn't a word I could ever use. Once something broke, I encountered problems fixing it much less unfixing it. For some reason, almost every place I have worked one of the managers would refer to the employees as a crew. I've never worked on a ship of any kind, and in most of the places employees or associates was a better description. Edition is a beautiful word. |
Jalál (Glory), 11 Jalál (Glory) 177 B.E. Saturday, April 18, 2020 Raining Down: Inspired by Rashḥ-i-‘Amá (The Clouds of the Realms Above) From clouds on high blessings are raining down; From clouds on high God's love is raining down. Souls magnetized by divine love attract The heavenly blessing that are raining down. Rejoice! This is the day of God's Glory; When the blessing of peace are raining down. |
