Evening Prayers: I In the privacy of my chamber, in the silence of my abode, in the tranquility of certitude we meet spirit to spirit and soul to soul. Together we walk through paradise, beneath the Tree of Life, and s peak in the language of love. You hear my prayer, You know my needs, You see my sins and my strengths, You whisper to my trembling soul, You show me the path that I should go. I am alone, but not alone; I am the one who need forgiveness; I am a child... [Read more]

1 Forgiveness In a small moment, in the time it takes a thought to move from dendrite to axon, and from axon to dendrite I forgave.

Baha'u'llah The wind of dawn blow across the planet, Carrying to waiting nostrils, The aroma of cinnamon laced honey. Rising from the pen of the King of Glory, The scent of passion flowers and roses, Mingle with the aroma of dawn. The followers of light rise from their beds, Inhaling the fragrance of immortality, Intoning th... [Read more]
