Jalál (Glory ), 9 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness) 174 B.E. - Saturday, March 10, 2018 Ninth Day of Fast It is Saturday, March 9, the day of Glory, the month of Loftiness, the Ninth Day of Fast in the year 174 B.E. There are ten days left int the Loftiness and in the year 174 B.E. I am listening to Baha'i videos on YouTube as I write this, videos celebrating the appearance of Baha'u'llah and the 200th celebration of his birth. Listening to these videos makes me realize how lucky I am to have heard about and recognized Baha'u'llah, the promised one of all religions. Baha'u'llah has appeared through the mercy of God, without God's mercy the planet Earth would be lifeless. This Face is hidden in the dust of slander: Where are the breezes of Thy compassion, O Mercy of the worlds? Baha'u'llah1 Poem Written on the Ninth Day of Fast The wind of divine mercy blows across the Earth taking to humanity the blessing of God's Glory. The wind of divine mercy carries the grace of the Almighty to the souls of those seeking the favour of the All-Bountiful. The wind of divine mercy is the loving kindness of the Holy Spirit, speaking through the Pen of Glory who is Baha'u'llah. The wind of divine mercy is providence to the soul of the individual, and the compassion of the of forgiveness.

When Fast ends, on the evening of March 20, I will have written 19 poems using the themes of the Baha'i months or days of the week. Lately, I've begun considering putting those poems into a single document. It would make it easier to edit and rewrite those poems, some of them need more work. My problem is editing and rewriting anything. However, at 71, I'm going to have to overcome this issue because otherwise I will die without attempting a decent rewrite, and I suspect that is one of the issues I have to overcome before ascending into the Abha Kingdom.
