Recently, I was shocked reading over Bahá’u’lláh’s, Ode of the Dove, when I realized how many times the word “blood” was used in the poem. I had read it and studied it before, even wrote a version of it which I feel has better rhyme and meter, while remaining understandable, then either of the other…

Occasionally someone tells me she admires how active I am at my age, and asks if I have a secret. Well I do but you may not want to hear it, because it’s don’t don’t don’t don’t. Of course with every don’t there’s a do. It’s not all self denial. In fact your…

When we overlook what we can do for our fellow travelers we are missing the whole point. Our faith is empty if we put concern for our own soul above the needs of another. (From a recovery day book) Someone posted that on a group I’m in and i realized i was wrong to be…

In my post yesterday, “My Solution,” I discussed one tiny piece of the puzzle of how to achieve spiritual fulfillment, and left out the most important part.
