Today on my lunch break I finally had reached my limit. I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained from everything. I broke down in my car and decided to put in a beautiful cd that was given to me by Leyla. It's a compilation of Baha'i music and writings sung by an AMAZING singer. I parked my car, sat back, closed my eyes and just listened. One of my favorite writings, EVER, came to me all of a sudden. I was saying it to myself over and over...all of a sudden I started to feel better. This one, brief line completely changed the route of my afternoon. I think it helped even more so because this quote is my sister-in-law, Amelia's favorite as well. She even sings it on the voicemail for her cellphone....therefore, I don't read the quote anymore. I sing it, just like Milly, and I think of her.
I joined Beliefnet in January 2000 and began hosting a number of discussion boards that winter. I've been a moderator just shy of eight years and have encountered any number of very interesting people, great people, rude people, beautiful people, obnoxious people, spiritual people, loving people, gregarious people and humble people in my Beliefnet travels. Each and every one unique and terrific in their own way!

On my journey towards paradise, I came to recognize the unity of soul between me--a black man raised on just as much Hip Hop as food--, the Hand of the Cause who was a white sports announcer from Green Valley, MN, and the Iranian refugees who left their families behind in hopes of building new ones in faith, being black almost loses some of its weight.

I first came across Baha’i when I invited Leif inside Orkut. He later on helped network me with some Baha’i within my city, although that is another story to tell. Anyways, I visited the Baha’i forum and after asking what their faith was all about, David was kind enough to give me an answer. One of the main things that makes the Faith real for me is the sense that it makes of the phenomenon of religion. What I mean is that there are so many different religious traditions, organizations, and practices out there, and if you talk for five minutes with people from any one of them you’ll realize that all of them contain not only a great deal of truth but also the ability to transform people. The idea of progressive revelation, that God has a purpose for humanity that is expressed and realized through the progression of these religions, the ultimate reality of which are beyond human ability to put into doctrines or words, gives the Baha’i faith an approach to other religions that is at once deeply reverent of their essence and yet not bound to the limiting dogmatic formulae that have been plastered on them.
