Editor’s note: The month of ‘Ala’ (or the Baha’i Fast), allows time to pray and reflect. For writers, the act of writing itself is often a form of reflection, a means of synthesizing information and connecting with their spiritual nature. This year a handful of writers collaborate to share the results of some of those artistic moments of reflection, one for each day of the Fast. From all of us at Nineteen Months, best wishes in your own meditations during this season of restraint.
TWO REASONS
There are two reasons
To recite the prayer:
Because your blood is boiling
Or because you want it to.
