Tenth Day of Fast
Jamál (Beauty), 10 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness) 174 B.E. - Sunday, March 11, 2018
Tenth Day of Fast

"The knowledge of the Reality of the Divinity is impossible and unattainable, but the knowledge of the Manifestations of God is the knowledge of God, for the bounties, splendors, and divine attributes are apparent in Them."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá 1

Poem Written on the Tenth Day of Fast

It is through the words
written and spoken by God's manifestations
that the knowledge of the Almighty
is transmitted to humanity.

In this day,
the word of God
is revealed through
the Glory of the All-Knowing,
who is Baha'u'llah.

The utterances
of the Unknowable Creator
is inscribed
by the Pen of God's Glory.

Today is Sunday, the first day of a new week, the Day of Beauty. I have a lot to do this week, in addition to writing. On Monday, I have two items to fill out and get into the snail mail box, plus I have two phone call to make. I really don't want do any of those things this week; however, they have to be done. There is no use putting them off because it will only make me want to do them less. I feel better now that I have written down the idea of not wanting to do them, I don't know why I don't want to do them.

Writing for the Week of March 11-17
that I know I am committed to or have to do.

I have some other things to do besides the writing projects, the phone calls, and the paper work. I have to stop wasting time. Some of the stuff I don't want to do because it means deciding what I have to throw away, give away, or keep. However, I'm going to have to make out of this place sometime this year, so I have to get it done or I'll have to drag it with me again, and I don't want to do that.
