I'm continuing to take Bri's question to heart. So, this year's quotes also come from Abiding Blog articles. Plus the usual baker's dozen for Baha'i events, focusing on the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha and with a nod to the 12 Steps. If you have trouble seeing the smaller versions of the posters below, you can always use/repeat Ctrl + (plus sign) to zoom in and Ctrl - (minus sign) to zoom back out. Feel free to copy/paste any images anywhere. Your social media, emails, a card, poster, T-shirt, whatever. But just for your personal use, not $-making. Please don't crop credit lines. Do use hashtags. Feel free to email me to request a high-resolution copy of any image(s) on this page. And enjoy!

2023-09-10 Okay To Vent
#Prayer #Meditation
![[It's] actually all right to "vent" to God ... God understands ... once we do that, though, we need to become still and small ourselves and lsiten to God's response. #Prayer #Meditation #AbidingBlog2017Contact](ESW Images/Blog AM - 23 37 - Okay To Vent.jpg) |

#Prayer #Meditation
![[The 11th Step's "praer and meditation"] brings together the spiritual practices of East and West..."Prayer is talking; meditation is listening." To my mind, people in the West are very good at talking to their Creator, maybe not so good at listening to Her "still, small voice". OTOH, people in the East are very good at listening to the Creative Force of the universe, but not so practiced in talking to It. #Prayer #Meditation #AbidingBlog2017Contact](ESW Images/Blog AM - 23 36 - 2-Way Contact.jpg) |
