"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."
Bahá’u’lláh2

DAY 2335: "No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side.

Or you don't.” ~ Stephen King

What are your thoughts?

Transformation

In the darkness of the chrysalis
a Lepidoptera larva
is transformed into a butterfly.

The chrysalis
is neither purgatory
nor hell--
though the larva
may consider it both--
but a stage of development
where it grows wings
to fly free above the earth.

Day 1940: Write a poem about Spring and April.

"The Divine Springtime is come, O Most Exalted Pen, for the Festival of the All-Merciful is fast approaching. Bestir thyself, and magnify, before the entire creation, the name of God, and celebrate His praise, in such wise that all created things may be regenerated and made new. Speak, and hold not thy peace. The day-star of blissfulness shineth above the horizon of Our name, the Blissful, inasmuch as the kingdom of the names of God hath been adorned with the ornament of the name of thy Lord, the Creator of the heavens. Arise before the nations of the earth, and arm thyself with the power of this Most Great Name, and be not of those who tarry."
Baha'u'llah3

King of Festivals4

Oh, Thou nightingales of the All-Glorious,
raise your voices in praise
for April is here,
and the King of Festivals approaches.


Intone your gratitude to the All-Merciful,
and celebrate,
in poem and song,
the Divine Springtime.

In the Garden of Paradise5,
the Pen of Glory6 proclaimed
the wonderful news
that God's promises are now fulfilled
and a new spring
has arrived.
