Tonight, my heart is full.

Tonight, my heart is full. I realized that the Creator is our hope, that truth and love is our hope. In this new age, our Creator has renewed our hopes in that day of peace when we shall all gather around that Sacred Tree.

source of this spiritual power

"The news that we obtain from the various parts of the world are most gratifying, for though there are some great problems to solve, yet no one can fail to see the constant realization of those ideals we cherish. May that day soon dawn when the source of this spiritual power, which is permeating the whole of society, will be appreciated and venerated." --Shoghi Effendi, Letter of Aug. 21, 1928

THE YOUNG ONES HUNGER FOR THE STORIES

The young ones of all ages and all colours hunger for the stories of the the Red Nation. This is a time of great sharing. The sacred fires of peace are being lit all around the world. Our ears are opening to the cries of Ina Maka and our hearts are softened by the plight of our fellow nations. The four legged, the winged ones, the creepy crawlies, the water ones all of the nations that we share our dear mother with are asking, telling us to lsiten and act with an open heart.
