One of the first events to get me back-adjusted was the Birth of the Bab observance.
As a part of our Book 4 study circle group, we put on a story telling program hosted by Ruhi. She gave us an inspiring brief talk about life in Shiraz as a girl
and how it felt to grow up in the spiritual and historic birthplace of this religious Cycle of human history...
and how it felt to grow up in the spiritual and historic birthplace of this religious Cycle of human history...we were graced by a performance from Semina, too.
Our study circle presented a part of the story of the Bab's early years. Following brief narratives from Rosana, Diana and Maria, I took on the portrayal of Shaykh Abid, the Bab's school teacher and told the story of his first years in school (see pages 50-51 of The Dawn Breakers). It was a moving and enchanting performance (once you get past the period costume...you kinda have to guess about the period) to be sure.:-)
Then, the "sister act" performed an unforgettable ahhhhh-kapella 
...
... Jessie Wolfe presented a wonderful rendition of a poem
...
...and Darren presented a brief talk on the Titles of the Bab, with Carolyn leading us all in song at the end.
The food, as always, was plentiful and good. Our guests seemed very pleased.
