Writing course

When I lived in Africa, I took a writing course by correspondence. I recommend it to anyone looking into some kind of self-enhancement project! Their web site is: http://www.institutechildrenslit.com/

"I Need to Can It"

What happens to all of that inspiriation you have in the deep, dark night?
Where is the energy and planning that you have while under the covers?
Do organizational skills and initiative dim when the lights go on?

How can I harness that optimism and energy that come after a deep sleep Saturday night?
Can I bottle it up for Monday morning?
Can I preserve it in a jelly jar for use on Thursday afternoons when I'm just about out of steam?

Oh the mysteries of sleep and lack thereof!

New Jersey, 1974

Jet sounds over head
Tanning in the blazing sun
A cool breeze, relief!

"Toko Zani" flute
Music declaring His Cause
Rejoice a new day!

A young blonde couple
Proclaim it: “Baha’u’llah”
A new life for them.

Sand between my toes
Ocean crashing, turquoise waves
Summer evening walk.

Thirty years later
Another generation
And still, He has come!

Hey Houston Writers!

If anyone is interested in a writers' workshop, please send me an email. We are trying to get the writers of Houston together to discuss their writing and to encourage each other. It will probably be held at the Missouri City Baha'i Center in September. You and your friends are welcome!

John Sampson has developed a wonderful site for sharing poems and other writings. Visit it at:

Greetings!

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG:

The reason I started this blog is to post inspirational and informational writings with the goal of sharing my experiences. Those of you who know me, know how fortunate I have been in my life.

Don't you ever wonder: How did we get here on planet Earth? Why are we here? Really! Why were we created and where are we going?

From other postings, I hope to share what I think about this.
