Thanks, Art,
I'll put a little of my background here to respond to your question--you might find over-the-top. But so as not to reinvent the wheel and give you a more comprehensive picture, a picture that often feels like a mural large enough to fill a proverbail building. The story is long and getting longer with age...and tedious in the telling, the repeating. I suppose that is why, among other reasons, so many people hide their light under a bushel. Thank god for a few clicks to save repeating it all a million times...also I think our stories are worth telling, as Baha'is. What's the point in living them if there is nothing worth saying about it all...enough...
