thoughts on speechs at conventions
Promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep . . . to paraphrase Robert Frost.
I will still pray for peace and work on being peaceful in all my contact with the world.

I hope that you all are thinking about gentle births and this hidden word
19. O MY FRIENDS!
Have ye forgotten that true and radiant morn, when in those hallowed and blessed surroundings ye were all gathered in My presence beneath the shade of the tree of life, which is planted in the all-glorious paradise? Awe-struck ye listened as I gave utterance to these three most holy words: O friends! Prefer not your will to Mine, never desire that which I have not desired for you, and approach Me not with lifeless hearts, defiled with worldly desires and cravings. Would ye but sanctify your souls, ye would at this present hour recall that place and those surroundings, and the truth of My utterance should be made evident unto all of you.
(Baha'u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)
