Writing in Snow

Midweek Reflection on Naw-Ruz

‘Idál (Justice), 1 Bahá (Splendor) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, March 21, 2018
Naw-Ruz and Feast of Bahá (Splendor)

"Know, that the divine springtime hath come with its rains and abundance, with the heat of its sun, the breeze of its life and the scent of its fragrance; and through this universal and great abundance, the land of the holy truth and facts hath moved and brought forth of every kind, good and beautiful fruits. But the barren, wicked land will not bring forth save the thorn of denial, of haughtiness and disdain. Therefore, thank thou God for He hath made thee a good, fertile land by the clouds of the abundance of God the Chosen."

‘Abdu'l-Baha12

The Bab and Baha'u'llah brought the divine spring time again to the planet Earth. I give thanks that I was blessed to hear and to accept the message of love, peace, and unity in their sacred writings. I ask forgiveness for anything that I did or do, even inadvertently, that does not reflect the Glory of God (Baha'u'llah) and the Gate of God (The Bab).

The splendor of a New Year
Shines upon the Earth
Proclaiming Baha'u'llah

Submitted to "Comedy Newsletter (March 21, 2018)"  "We Are Not Alone!": Someone once told me that "It's alright to talk to yourself, and it's alright to talk to yourself and answer yourself. The time to start worrying is when you talk to yourself, answer yourself, and the ask 'What did I say?'"

Reflections on Naw-Ruz Celebrations

The splendor of a New Year
shines its light upon the Earth:
proclaiming Baha'u'llah.

The Glory of God smiles,
at the joy experienced
by those who attend
each Naw-Ruz celebration.

The Holy Spirit
present in each location,
adds feelings of excellence
and cheer
to the festivities.
