We are moving

Meditation: Breathe, Reflect , and Connect

Breathe!
Inhale the fresh air of dawn
exhale you worries and fears.

Reflect!
Meditate on the Word of God
as revealed in His sacred books.

Connect!
Make the connection with the Creator
every day of the year.

Shelter in Place: A Test of Faith

This will pass
and when it does
humanity will be more united.

This is a test
of our resolve
to spread the Word of God
across the planet.

Stand firm
in the love of God
and humanity.

This will pass
and our faith will be stronger
for the test.

I Walk By Faith

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.

On the Second Day of Fast

I read a prayer
revealed for the nineteen-day Fast,
and contemplate letting go.

In its essence fasting
is letting go of the desires of the flesh--
such as food and drink--
and holding onto spiritual qualities--
such as faith in God
and forgiveness.

At 73
I am learning to let go
of the prejudices
and fears
that come between me
and the Glorious Lord.

Feast of Honor

The crisp evening air
awakens the desire
for God's healing words.

Out of the darkness of chaos
flee the followers
of light.

The speech of the Friend
rouses the ability
to sacrifice.

From the heavens of mercy
pour the showers
of divine love.

The crisp evening air
ignites desire
to see the beauty of God.

Out of the night's separation
knowledge of self
is gained.

The voices of the friends
engenders power
to go beyond insistent self.

In the joy of reunion
the soul gains
the will to survive.

The pen of Baha'u'llah
answers the questions
humanity asks.

Over the horizon of religion
rises the Glory of God,
revealing the verses of splendor.

The names of God
are united
by the return of the Lord.

Over the horizon of honor
ascends the grandeur of God.

From the perfect mirror
is reflected the might
of dawn.

Through the Pen of Glory
flows the sovereignty
of unity.

Away from matter's dominion
ascend the people of God.

The loftiness
of God's Promised One
is revealed through the Ancient Beauty.

To Know God

The goal of my soul
is to know and love God,
but how can I,
a creature of matter
know that which is pure spirit.

Knowledge of God
comes to me
and the rest of humanity
through God' Manifestations
who in this age
are The Bab and Baha'u'llah.

The Love of God

It is the love of God
that encourages us
to develop spiritual perfections
and virtues.

It is the love of God
that ignites
the lamp of the soul
with spiritual happiness.

Depend on God

Depend
upon the might
of the Lord.

Never doubt
God's love and protection.

Pray for strength
to pass the test of love;
God knows
what you need
and what you want
before you ask.

Humanity Is One!

Bound together
By the ancient Covenant of God
We are one race

From the beginning
That has no beginning
God has renewed it

With each generation
With each succeeding Manifestation
God's Covenant was renewed

God will continue
Renewing His Covenant to the end
That will have no end

Three Onenesses: Water Flows

God is one!

Composed
Of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen
Water flows

Religion is one!

Water flows
Across the face of the planet
Two atoms of hydrogen and o ne atome of oxygen
Descends in torrents
From the clouds of mercy

Humanity is one!

Fresh or salt
Rain or standing
Water is composed
Of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen

God Doesn't See Differences

God doesn't see the differences
of color,
religion,
gender,
or nation.

God looks within
the individual human
and sees the divine attributes
that are reflected
in the mirror of the soul.

Meditation on the Existence of God

There is a timeless quality about life--
about living--
which extends beyond what I know,
and what I feel.

It extends into an unknown realm;
existing between illusion and reality,
between dreaming and waking,
between death and life.

There is more to life than anything I have experienced,
anything I have imagined.

It is not that I am missing something,
rather something exist which I cannot grasp,
and cannot comprehend.

This something I call God.

He exist,
though not in the same way as I,
He is beyond all I know,
all I see,
all I feel.

Without God there would be no Universe,
no Life.

Healer and Protector

God is the healer
Of all of our afflictions:
He is the generous, the All-Knowing.

God is the protector
He holds the universe:
He is the generous, the All-Merciful.

Spirit of the Age

From time immemorial,
God's promised humanity
peace and unity.

In this age,
peace is inevitable
and unity unstoppable.
