Watch It!

One of these days I will get an essay finished for Baha'i the Way.  One of these days.  In the meantime...

Continuing my series on good things Baha'is are doing, here is a beautiful video about a project in Cambodia.  I can't actually see it on my screen embedded here (I have an old system).  So if you can't see it either follow this link to YouTube.








While we're chatting here...I have a couple questions/ requests too.  Long ago I picked up a supposed quote from the Bab, "The mystery of sacrifice is there is no sacrifice." Now I can't find a source.  Does anybody know if it is authentic or has another documented origin?

Also, if anybody knows of any articles, essays, books, passages of scripture, etc. pertinent to the subject of Baha'i theology of body, illness, or disability I would be grateful for the tips.  You can mention them in a comment or email me at ms leaf at wildblue dot net.

ONE — or eighty, depending on how you look at it

Eighty dancers suspended from the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge. Check out the wild and ambitious upcoming work of Baha'i choreographer Aly Rose. http://www.human-architecture.org/WhatisOne.php

The project can also be found on Facebook. And Ms. Rose's profile at the Baha'i Association for the Arts website can be found here.

International Environment Forum — Baha'i Inspired

Well, I haven't rooted around in their materials yet, but this looks like a good undertaking. I am glad to see it. You can see it too by following the link below. Phrases like "civilization building" and "ever-advancing civilization," common these days in Baha'i discourse, make me a wee bit nervous without more specifics. Civilization, so far, has a very mixed record and may yet destroy us. So I say "hurray!" to all good efforts toward sustainability.
