Urgency To Act

17 Kamal 163 B.E. - August 17, 2006 A.D.


I feel an urgency to act, to accomplish something today. I feel like I am riding a lightning bolt ready to strike the ground. I feel the approach of something wonderful, but I'm not sure what. I feel like I could achieve anything I set out to do today.

I did something different with my prayers this morning. I said the dawn prayer revealed by Baha'u'llah, while I sit on the patio. The air was cool and fresh, it felt marvelous, tranquil, and peaceful sitting in the early morning as the sun ascended over the eastern mountains. I have had a since of joy all morning. Baha'u'llah prayers always make me happy, whenever I say them. However, the feeling I get this morning is different from usual.

This is not the first time I had the feeling of "riding on a lightning bolt", I always get this feeling when I need to take action or something marvelous is about to happen. I can never tell which, but I know to expect a great surprise when I take action. Now all I have to do is to figure out what action to take. I am not sure if what I am writing makes any sense or not, but that is how I feel this morning.

Not to change the subject, but I had an interesting dream last night. I dreamed that I was moving from one task to another in swift succession. I do not remember precisely what the tasks were, but whatever they were I was getting a lot accomplished, finishing a lot of projects. Whatever the projects were they were important and I was starting and finishing them in record time.

Maybe the dream has something to do with the way I feel this morning. I know that the more I accomplish this morning the more I want to accomplish. I do not seem to be able to type fast enough, the faster I type the faster I want to type. I have a lot of energy this morning. In fact I am multitasking, of course with a telephone internet connection, this is not difficult; especially if I am doing a survey or downloading something. A telephone connection is sometimes a "bit slow", OK, maybe a lot slow. So I can wait for something to download and compose blog entries or play a game of free cell solitary while I am waiting.

Today I am not playing free cell, not that I have not played it this morning, I did that earlier while I was waiting for SpyBot to run. I run one of my antispy ware programs every morning before getting started on the days project, while I am running those programs I play free cell solitary. After the antispy ware has did its job, then I go online, lately I have considered changing the time I run one of the antispy ware programs to before I shut the computer down at night. Well I think this is all today, I have other things to do before I go to the post office and the recycling company.
