“There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a
poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that
irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.”

we must all start from being a fool,
which means, that we recognize that, at times, we have been the fool,
we have all been the blind fool,

this is the first step, in the awakening of the soul,

To confront a person with his own shadow
is to show him his own light.
--Carl G. Jung



The light of Spirit

enters our hearts

when we
choose to open

when we are
learning about
loving ourselves
and others,


and the darkness

enters our hearts
when we

choose to

close up

and act
based upon
states of

anger,

fear,

shame,

judgment

or hurt.



the key word

in all of this?



CHOICE

Truly a paradise could exist wherever material progress and spirtual values could be properly balanced. ~ Malcolm X










































A younger tree













































































Each of us is a vital thread in another person's tapestry;
our lives are woven together for a reason...






























I do not fear love, I believe in it

I choose the thoughts and outlook of my life and path

I choose carefully who to love, and remain faithful to myself while

taking hold of the beautiful future.

"The Prison City"
Akka, (Acre) Israel

After four years in Adrianople, the Turkish authorities, in 1868,
condemned Bahá'u'lláh to perpetual imprisonment in the prison city
of Akka in Palestine (today northern Israel). There He was subjected
to strict confinement for two years, during which time His youngest son,
Mirza Mihdi, died in an accident. In spite of the hardship and isolation,
Bahá'u'lláh continued His proclamation to the rulers of the world, including
the Queen of England, the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of France, and others.
He also continued to reveal the principles and teachings that would bring about
a new world order and the unity of mankind.

From 1870, Bahá'u'lláh and His family, including His eldest Son, ..Abdu'l-Báha,
were moved to a succession of houses in the city of Akka. In the house of Udi
Khamar, Bahá'u'lláh revealed the Kitab-i-Aqdas, His Book of Laws. In 1877
Bahá'u'lláh was allowed to leave the prison-city. He took up residence in the
Mansion of Mazra'ih for two years, and then moved to the Mansion of Bahji,
just north of Akka.

From Adrianople and later from Acre, Bahá'u'lláh addressed a series of letters
to the rulers of His day that are among the most remarkable documents in
religious history. They proclaimed the coming unification of humanity and the
emergence of a world civilization. The kings, emperors, and presidents of the
nineteenth century were called upon to reconcile their differences, curtail their
armaments, and devote their energies to the establishment of universal peace.

Bahá'u'lláh passed away at Bahjí on May 29, 1892, at the age of seventy-four,
and is burried there. In His will, the Book of the Covenant, Bahá'u'lláh named
His eldest son, Abdu'l-Bahá, as His successor and authorized Interpreter of His
teachings. His teachings had already begun to spread beyond the confines of the
Middle East, and His Shrine is today the focal point of the world community
which these teachings have brought into being. ~ from
