Jamál (Beauty), 5 ‘Izzat (Might), 173 BE - Sunday, September 11, 2016 AD about 11:53 AM Pacific Daylight Time
This morning I went for a walk around the block. My neighborhood was quiet, so I
didn't meat very many people or animals. I saw a man and his son being
walked by their dog, a neighbor lady who was out collecting aluminum
cans, and a man who picked up a long
metal pipe that was laying in the street by the curb. I enjoyed the
silence and the walk. I liked the silence because it gave me a harmonious and spiritual feeling.
As
I walked I let my mind recite my morning prayers. This helped with the
spiritual feeling because the prayers that went through my mind were
revealed by the Bab and Baha'u'llah. After getting home, I poured myself
a large mug of coffee and removed the last two-bite brownies in the
package. This means tomorrow I'll probably eat some of the cookies in my
cookie jar. I'll also go to a couple of the food pantries to get some
food because this month money is extremely tight. September is one of
those months when I have more month than money.
The
money situation depresses me a little, but not as much as the world
situation. Nationally and Internationally the situation for humanity
appears to be getting worse. I believe the
reason for this is that humanity is fractured into small groups that
don't work with the rest of humanity. The only way to get ourselves
through the present darkness is to work together as a single species.
We human beings need to work, play, and pray together. We can each pray
to our individual concepts of God, but we need to let other prayer to
their concept of God without telling them they're wrong.
