Friday Contemplations: World Citizenship & Reviewing My Week

Istiqlál (Independence), 16 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 174 B.E. - Friday, February 2, 2018

"Take pride not in love for yourselves but in love for your fellow-creatures. Glory not in love for your country, but in love for all mankind."
Baha’u’llah1

World Citizenship

To me
world citizenship
is a the connection
I have to the planet Earth,
to humanity,
and to unity,
as defined in the writings of Baha'u'llah.

Reviewing My Week

It's Friday, I've posted to "Weekly Goals" , and stated that I accomplished my review goals and wrote several poems. Those are the things I accomplished on my too large goal list. I have to cut the list down, while keeping it large enough to push me. On Monday, January 29, I listed 12 items; this is too many to accomplish in seven day, much less five or six. Yesterday, February 1, I put 9 items to accomplish this month. Some of those items were things I have to do everyday, while others I could do just once a week. I'm sure I can accomplish those 9 things this month. I don't know how much more I will accomplish in February, I'll just have to wait until February 28 to find out.
