I was considering being quite depressing about questions I have been asking myself; they relate to what it means to be a Baha'i and even the level of my belief.
The last few years, especially the last have been a challenge. It can be scary to look at yourself and see something so fundamental in your life be challenged.
It's probably better to look in the mirror and be realistic rather than to shove those questions aside. These are things to look at in an honest way.
Most importantly the answers cannot be found within myself. If left to my own devices I would still be in an apartment in Boston smoking cigarettes.
Perish the thought!
"For this physical fasting is a symbol of the spiritual fasting, that is, abstaining from all carnal desires, becoming characterized with the attributes of the spiritual ones, attracted to the heavenly fragrances and enkindled with the fire of the love of God."
Abdu'l-Baha
This was a fun moment with a really long scarf and a desire to get an interesting photo.
