Writing in Snow

On The Day of Grace in the Month of Beauty

Fiḍál (Grace), 6 Jamál (Beauty) 174 BE - Tuesday, May 2, 2017 CE

Right now it appears that we'll have to lay out $200.00 to the court because of the tail lights. We laid out that much to get the breaks fixed and I don't know how much it's going to cost for the lights. I've placed everything in God's hands and I begin saying the Table of Ahmad this morning. Things go better when I say or read that tablet everyday. I used to know the Tablet by heart, but I haven't recited it in a while so I'm not sure how much of it I remember. That's all right because I downloaded a Baha'i prayer app to my smartphone, so now I can read that prayer or another any time of the day or night.

"Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1630: May 3, 2017

"Until you make the unconscious conscious,
it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Carl Jung

Or I Could Use This Quote

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."

Carl G. Jung

I discovered both of those on the website Authentic-Self.com   under the title "Become Your Authentic Self". That article listed five question to ask: (1) Who am I?; (2) Why do I fear being vulnerable?; (3) What does it mean to be authentic?; (4) Why is it such a struggle to just be myself?; and (5) Why do I hide behind a mask of my own making? I think I'll answer these question in "Welcome to My Life"  over the next 30 or so days.

I didn't enter the official writing.com contest in April because I couldn't think of a mystery plot. I want to enter the "What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"  this month. The May 2017 prompt is "Your character is in a situation where he or she is trying to make a good impression (job interview, speaking at a professional event, in-class presentation, etc.). When a piece of potentially damaging or embarrassing information is brought to light, how does your character handle it?" The deadline is May 31 and the word count limit is 2,000 words (placed at the body of the item).
