A Calm Storm

The blog of Sholeh Samadani Munion

2 years, dear friend

me and Gavin

“In His Tablets Bahá’u’lláh says that were we able to comprehend the facilities that await us in the world to come, death would lose its sting; nay rather we would welcome it as a gate-way to a realm immeasurably higher and nobler than this home of suffering we call our earth. You should therefore think of their blessings and comfort yourself for your momentary separation. In time all of us will join our departed ones and share their joys.”

(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, January 13, 1932)

“The Master has told us that gifts and good deeds done in memory of those who have passed on, are most helpful to the development of their souls in the realms beyond…”

(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, December 10, 1952)

 

Last year, remembering. And 2 years ago. Last night, as I drove past the House of Worship on my way home, I was able to share a prayer with a friend on the phone in Gavin’s memory. Thinking of you today, dear one! We love you so much.
