March 4th


Today is March 4th or should I say today was as the day is now gone. Today is unable to be explained in words… so it is beyond words. I went to Baji or the shrine of Baha'ullah' the prophet of our faith the Bahai faith. I visited this shrine and I sat and prayed or mediated in silence, for hours. I felt so at peace and at rest with myself it was unbelievable. It made me sit and wonder for a while I listened… I heard silence for the first time in my life my heart was calm my brain wasn’t whirring with turmoil.

Being in the presence of such a holy entity left me feeling revitalized purified and cleaner a better person somehow. I took many photographs of the surrounding gardens but even though the photographs can remain vivid the pictures in my heart will last forever. I also got a chance to meet the universal house of justice or the head of the faith, the people who maintain the peace and keep everything in order. This is a privilege that not many people are blessed by having the opportunity to do.
