I had the extraordinary privilege yesterday of attending the celebration of the Birthday of the Báb in the Seat of the Universal House of Justice at the Baha’i World Centre in Haifa, Israel.

There’s so much I want to write about this event, the feelings it engendered, the tears I shed, but I am on an expensive hotel broadband link and about to leave for the airport. So I will content myself with saying that the prayers, the Baha’i World Centre choir, the circumambulation of the Shrine of the Báb all contributed to a penetratingly spiritual experience.

I hope to write more once I return home, but I make no promises.
