That We Might Be Free
That We Might Be Free:
To the Blessed Beauty

"The Ancient Beauty hath consented to be bound with chains that mankind may be released from its bondage, and hath accepted to be made a prisoner within this most mighty Stronghold that the whole world may attain unto true liberty..."
Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, XLV: “The Ancient Beauty hath consented to be…”

To free us
from the prison
of ourselves.
