first is a quote from last night devotional that i read which really touched me:
"A drop of the billowing ocean of His endless mercy had adorned all creation with the ornament of existence, and a breath wafted from His peerless Paradise hath invested all beings with the robe of His sanctity and glory. A sprinkling from the unfathomed deep of His sovereign and all-pervasive Will hath, out of utter nothingness, called into being a creation which is infinite in its range and deathless in its duration. The wonders of His bounty can never cease, and the stream of His merciful grace can never be attested. The process of His creation hath had no beginning, and can have no end" - from Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah
the other thing was a short conversation between Mr. Lincoln and myself. we were on our way back from lunch when he leans over and asks:
"And Geoffrey, how are you?"
i had been silent, just sort of lost in my thoughts, and so i say:
"Oh, I'm just lost in my thoughts"
Mr. Lincoln: "And where is that, do you mind sharing?"
Me: "I'm not sure really"
Mr. Lincoln: "Just free of the constraints of the here and now I guess"
a shared smile and conversation end...it was a nice moment
