As you may know by now, I'm a not-so-closet romantic. I love love, it's as simple as that. This quote (image?), for me however, has nothing to do with the weak in the knees kind of love that you see in movies or teenage diaries... it's about my love for the Baha'i Shrines.
I regularly pray that I am somehow able to burn the image of those Holy Spots, the sensation of being able to pray in such a Place, what it feels like to walk and meditate in those beautiful and peaceful gardens, into my heart. So that, when I have to finally leave Israel, that I'll be able to return there... at least in my heart, or maybe my mind. And to remember and reconnect with that tranquility and love.
Yesterday and today marked a great period of celebration for Baha'is. These were the Twin Holy Days: the celebrations of the Birth of the Bab and the Birth of Baha'u'llah, respectively. It was also my last opportunity to celebrate these very special Holy Days while serving and living in the Holy Land.... Kind of bitter-sweet, but remarkably lovely - as per usual.
Do you all have a place that you "go"... when you pray, meditate, connect with the universe?

I can tell you that it will be burned into your mind's eye when you come back. You won't forget. And I do go back there when I pray. It doesn't ever leave you...
Thanks, Sholeh. That gives me a great comfort :)
