Beauty on this day of Beauty!

Today is the Day of Beauty of the Month of Beauty. And in many ways it has been a beautiful day! Just got a call from Nada, so that made it even more beautiful.

Today is Jo Ellen Richards' birthday. I've known that small tidbit for 20 years! For me though, it is hard to forget. Afterall, it is the day of beauty ...

Be
BeBe
BeBe
BeBe
Be

... and who you are is who you are meant to be!

Sketched today:

Venus fly trap

She sits
sweet honeyed lips
her tongue has trapped the flies
those meager proteinacious wings
your lies. [163.85a]

This is an excerpt from the Tablet of the Holy Mariner. It seemed appropriate today for some reason:

Tablet of the Holy Mariner

He is the Gracious, the Well-Beloved! O Holy Mariner! Bid thine ark of eternity appear before the Celestial Concourse,

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Launch it upon the ancient sea, in His Name, the Most Wondrous,

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! And let the angelic spirits enter, in the Name of God, the Most High.

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Unmoor it, then, that it may sail upon the ocean of glory,

Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious! Haply the dwellers therein may attain the retreats of nearness in the everlasting realm. ...

What is noticeable is the repetition. It has a meditational effect when recited in its entirety. For anyone interested it can be found here: http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/c/BP/bp-175.html

SENSED

Sound of mower, birdsong, car-tires; sight of yellow fire plug, puddle of water, broken blinds, bumblebee; the taste of corn pudding; the touch of plush clipped cat fur; the bloat of a full stomach.
