July 2, 1912 Links in the chain of lovers

New York:  More links in the chain of lovers


    Mahmud wrote: "During the Master's stroll in the park near the house, a person of Greek ancestry walked by. When he saw `Abdu'l-Bahá, he was attracted and approached Him. The passerby immediately summoned his friends, who were in the park, to gather round. In those green surroundings the Master spoke to them about Greek philosophers and about the progress and civilization of their country in ancient times. He then exhorted and encouraged them to acquire the virtues of the world of humanity. He was so compelling that they were immediately influenced. That evening they came to the Bahá'í gathering and became yet more links in the chain of lovers.
     Every night after the public meeting, seekers are invited to visit `Abdu'l-Bahá in His own room. As they listen to His solutions to complex spiritual problems, to His convincing arguments and to answers to their questions, they are drawn towards the Kingdom of God and attracted to the Abhá horizon. Although it is summer and intensely hot, every day and night a new group of inquirers is introduced."

Wouldn't it be great in our lives if every day and night a new group of inquirers were introduced. . . . 

Our group of 26 extras and 3 crew members, Grapevine
It is very hot here (in Texas). We've done several shoots for our film lately--at two locations in Arlington and then at the train station and on a train in Grapevine. Whew!  Plus we've launched a kickstarter, set up a new website, recorded a number of voice narrations, and made progress on the film itself. But there is so much left to do!  See our new website for updates:  www.LuminousJourney.org and check out our Kickstarter link! 

Our dear intern, Nura, left to go back to NYC.  We need a new intern!!!
