Great words! Great tune! Great video! Thanks to all who joined in on the effort.

Also, I like the combination of black and white and color photography in the video. The former highlights the contrasts of light and dark better.

I was just perusing this and the link to the Baha’i veg thing is totally broken. That leaves my own Meaty Compilation as the reigning champ of resources: http://samuelbenoit.wordpress.com/compilations/the-meaty/

Comment on trials of a voting baha’i by Karina

I really appreciate this article and the insights in the commentary too! “Beyond the Culture of Contest” indeed makes for thought-provoking reading and Phillipe, I especially liked the comparison between partisan politics and chastity within a culture preaching the opposite. It can be tough to strike a balance between being anxiously concerned with the needs of the age in which we live, to be informed voters, and yet not get sucked into divisive and addictive debates by accusations of apathy. I also benefited from the reminder that it’s not my place to tell others what to do or not do :-).

Where from can i download this Ruhi Book 6 in .pdf format, for understanding better what about this post content is about? i can’t find it from ruhiresources.org, which i think would be the place where we could download them…

Comment on get your ruhi book today by Paulo

I agree completelly with Naysan - is very weird when we live in a world being now so focused on colaborative work and on open-source and free development, we can’t find Ruhi books available as open, in formats like pdf, txt, xml-docbook, etc. - i think it’s very shameful ruhiresources.org have no complete Ruhi books available for download, and i hope this situation may change soon, which i don’t know if some petition is needed for helping that.

I also understand, if ruhiresources.org don’t want to leave these Ruhi books completelly available as easy, maybe it means these Ruhi books are not so important for the Baha’i faith, and shows us how nonsense is having to follow all these books… And maybe because this i can understand why some Baha’i communities are not using Ruhi books, and the simple answer is they are not free (at least for now, and i hope not for so long…)

Or maybe soon ruhiresources.org can realize soon how important is showing to all world there are nothing to hide in these whole Ruhi books worldwidelly, providing them easily available as open, freely and for free - and as well, surelly this would help to make the Baha’i faith much more popular than it is today, for sure.

I like people notice all the details and minutiae of everyday little thing could find something attractive and imperceptible to most. Super!

I’ve had to ask myself some of these questions as a Baha’i practicing journalism. Desperate to understand my role of sharing facts and personal views with the public while not disparaging public officials, I turned to a fellow Baha’i professional journalist with years of experience, and he said largely Shoghi Effendi’s guidance on such matters was to do the best we can and figure it out along the way. I find his words about the role of journalists in society very inspiring and also open to new discoveries as we journey forward.

It’s vital that we know the facts about what is happening in our world, where are leaders are guiding us, what their policies are, how society is impacted, and what we can do to improve this place and promote justice. Participating as a voter is one way to have a role, but it is not all we can do. Refraining from partisanship frees us, and can be an assistance in removing veils, trying to see things with greater objectivity and detachment, to the degree possible. The field of journalism is actually a great arena for practicing this, and many other fields and professions benefit from the same kind of detachment.

Civic engagement is very much needed on behalf of the Baha’is, but purged from the distractions of political divisiveness; rather with the heat and passion of a love for humanity, justice, and collective advancement.

Good morning to you,
I am just starting to blog…well, who knows, maybe I will and maybe I won’t. I get up earrrrrly every morning. Love your blog. Thanks for the quote about fear hidden in wealth. I put it on mine.
Now, after the elections, I think of Abdul Baha praying that America would lead the world in spiritualization. This is grand.

Oh, actually the reason to connect is to ask about your children’s classes….what artistic activities, lessons, games you do in addition to the Ruhi ones.

We cannot make our classes grow : (

And yes, I like to see the garden of humanity bouquet.

Thanks much and good luck on teeth cleaning.

Ciao for now

Hi, your blog is just wonderful, and ao is the other one you have that I just tried to post on and I think failed. I’m a Baha’i and an artist. I’ve been teaching Baha’i school for the past 12 years! Professionally I work with kids alot. Although I’ve had a website for many years, I recently got interested in the world of blogging and began blogging about living the creative life one day at a time…….I have been working creatively with diverse groups of people for over 20 years. One of the goals of my blog is to post tutorials for artistic activities that are inspired by Baha’i Principles. The first one was posted yesterday: The Garden of Humanity Bouquet. I would be happy to link your site to mine :) warmest regards
