Monday Poems and Gratitude List

Kamál (Perfection), 15 ʻAláʼ (Loftiness) 176 B.E. Monday, March 16, 2020

On the Fourteenth Day of Fast1

When the body fast
the soul sips the wine of faith
from the chalice of God's Word.

Gratitude List for 14 ʻAláʼ

Today I am thankful ...
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn today.
          ...for mini chocolate covered doughnuts to go with my coffee.
          ...that I have 504 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the mini chocolate Easter egg I had for my morning snack.

On the Fifthteenth Day of Fast2

I focus my meditation
upon the Word of God
revealed by Baha'u'llah,
the Glory of God.
