...and then we started walking
Twenty years ago today, the Global Walk for a Livable World began its trek across the country to raise awareness for the environment. For the previous two weeks, we had been gathered in a field in Simi Valley, CA engaging in long meetings, doing some construction with the support vehicles, and getting to know each other. Now it was time for the rubber soles to hit the road.
a study on time and the baha'i calendar (i've been out-geeked!)
Almost two years ago, I wrote a blog posted entitled "I am a total calendar geek," which talked about my fascination with the Badi (Baha'i) calendar. Now I just read "Time and the Baha'i Era--A Study of the Badi Calendar" by Gerald Keil. It's a book I've been wanting to read for some time and it was at the top of my Christmas list. Now that I have finished reading it, I realize I have been "out-geeked" by a factor of nineteen.
mixing in a baha'i soundtrack
Since I've been a Baha'i for only two years, I have limited knowledge of Baha'i musical artists at this point. But two have grabbed my attention recently. They are probably already well-known to Baha'is, but I wanted to share these with my non-Baha'i friends, as well as Baha'is who may not be familiar with them.
journeying through twenty years and seventy-eight journal books
The field behind a church in Simi Valley, California spawned not one, but two significant milestones in my life. The first was The Global Walk for a Livable World. The second occurred twenty years ago today--my first-ever journal book entry, in a spiral notebook bought from a convenience store near the Global Walk encampment.
a new toy to play with, and something to get serious about
I finally broke down and bought a CD mixer for DJ'ing.
