Ascension of Baha'u'llah

"Let not your hearts be perturbed, O people, when the glory of My Presence is withdrawn, and the ocean of My utterance is stilled. In My presence amongst you there is a wisdom, and in My absence there is yet another, inscrutable to all but God, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing. Verily, We behold you from Our realm of glory, and shall aid whosoever will arise for the triumph of Our Cause with the hosts of the Concourse on high and a company of Our favoured angels."

Baha'u'llah1

One hundred twenty-six years ago, an May 29, 1892 at 3:00 A.M., Baha'u'llah ascended into the Abha paradise. His physical presence no longer blessed this world, and ocean of His words was silenced. His spiritual presence was and is still felt by Baha'is across the planet. Across the planet, in every city and nation, Baha'is are proclaiming Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, through their actions and their buildings. Everywhere local Baha'i houses of worship, and Baha'i Centers are being built. They welcome every individual, no matter the religious, national, or other affiliations.

Quality Control2

The soul has quality of design
to be reliable over time.

The body needs quality of incoming materials
to provide the soul with a healthy casing.

Quality control of process
is assured by education.

Quality assurance
results from faith in God.

Poet's Note: ▼

This was written sometime in 148 B.E. The inspiration was a class I took at either UNLV or the Community College of Southern Nevada.

Facebook Status Update

Today's exercise routine:
house phone rings,
standup,
answer phone,
say hello,
listen to robot voice,
hangup phone,
go back to chair,
set down,
and continue writing
whatever I was writing
before the phone interrupted me.
