Well my friends, to those of you who have been following my facebook posts will know that I have been working on an Opus dedicated to the 100 anniversary of the historic teaching trip of Abdu’l Baha, the Son of the Founder of the Baha’i Faith, Who courageously set out at an old age immediately after being set free from serving a 40 year prison sentence, to bring His Father’s Faith to the West. It is titled, The Rainbow World, and I started working on this musical piece with so much distraction and effort as I sold my home in San Jose and moved to Sacramento. I woke up sometimes as early as 4 in the morning so full of inspiration to set down my thoughts, reading and re-reading of His incredible journey as He gave up to 4 talks a day explaining the tenets of His Faith and what we must do to unite the world and bring the long awaited age of peace and prosperity to mankind. At every gathering He was wont to ask, “Are you happy?” His lessons were couched in the simplest terms and words. His love was infectous and to all that met Him remarked of His perfections and kindness. He felt a kinship with us and called us the spiritual descendants of the dawnbreakers, those holy souls who He knew personally who were persecuted for believing in the power we all hold to effect a change in our time. He was and is for all time the Centre of Our Covenant to remain united in our thoughts, our views, and efforts. There are a couple of sites dedicated to His travels here in America and I invite you all to do a search about this man who came to teach us how to truely live in this age that is so pregnant with potential.
I hope to have one of the songs ready for download shortly so that you can hear one of the movements and have the whole Opus finished by this summer. Until then, I will leave you with some words from one of His first talks,
“With hearts set aglow by the fire of the love of God and spirits refreshed by the food of the heavenly spirit you must go forth as the disciples nineteen hundred years ago, quickening the hearts of men by the call of glad tidings, the light of God in your faces, severed from everything save God. Therefore, order your lives in accordance with the first principle of the divine teaching, which is love. Service to humanity is service to God. Let the love and light of the Kingdom radiate through you until all who look upon you shall be illumined by its reflection. Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling in the loftiness of their heavenly station. Do you appreciate the Day in which you live?
This is the century of the Blessed Perfection!
This is the cycle of the light of His beauty!
This is the consummate day of all the Prophets!”
