"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 2271: “People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.” Carlos Ruiz Zafón, author of The Shadow of the Wind What are your thoughts about his quote? Do you make your own life more complicated than it needs to be. Do you know other people that do?

Complicating Life

We complicate our lives in numerous ways. We complicate our lives because we overthink, obsess, and worry about things that 99.9% of the time we didn't need to worry about. We complicate our lives by looking at past ages and thinking that the people at that time had it better. We complicate our lives by, attempting, to look at future ages and believing the people will have it better. We complicate our lives by lack of gratitude for what we have. We complicate our lives by ignoring the Golden Rule of our chosen religion, and treating our fellow human beings with disdain.


At 72, I have come to realize that I was born in the twentieth century and continued to live into the twenty-first century for a reason. I have something to accomplish before my spirit ascends into the Abha Paradise. I will continue to attempt to achieve that goal, even if sometimes I'm not exactly sure what it is, for as long as I'm bless with a physical life. In the time I have left on the physical plane, I will attempt to avoid complicating my life any more than I have managed to complicate it already.

Day 1877: "On the TV Show "Heartland", the family members each have a brick in the fireplace that is theirs. Each new family member gets to pick out their own brick. Do you have any traditions like this in your family?

Family Traditions

I'm not big on family tradition. I don't follow many of the traditions I was taught as a child. The only family tradition I practice consistently is prayer. This tradition has changed since I declared my faith in Baha'u'llah. Now, instead of saying prayers that I compose myself, I say the prayers revealed by Baha'u'llah, The Bab, and 'Abdu'l-Baha.

I don't see anything wrong with family traditions, as long as they don't interfere with a person performing their job or their interactions with the rest of humanity. We are living in a changing world. A world with blended families, and each family has their own tradition. When families blend they need to figure out traditions that enhance the family and bring them closer together. In addition, each culture has their own traditions. When an individuals interact with one another, they need to take into account the cultural tradition of the other people involved in the interactions. We need to learn to respect the cultural traditions of other people.

Cortland Rural Cemetery

I don't visit cemeteries on a regular basis. Most modern cemeteries have flat headstones that are even or lower than the surrounding grass. I understand why this is done; it is to make upkeep easier and cheaper. However, I like to see headstones and memorial statues rising above the cemetery's landscape. I suspect my preferences have more to do with my concept of death and the afterlife. Cemeteries with raised headstones and statues suggest that the soul of the deceased has ascended into the spiritual world.


Pontillo's Pizzeria

I'm always willing to eat pizza. I haven't discovered a pizza that I dislike. The menu at Pontillo's sound intriguing with Italian cuisine and pizza, while being vegetarian friendly. I don't normally eat vegetarian pizza; however, I'm not opposed to trying it. Especially if it has something on it I like such as Portobello mushrooms or some vegetable I've never tasted before. I am an omnivore who prefers meat on her pizzas. I'm sure that Rosemary Author Icon and whoever else is with us could find some kind of pizza we like.
