Well!!! I hear you ask – where are the crafts? - it’s been a month since the last post. A very busy month for Juliet and I, we had two major craft projects plus tutoring Book 7 “Walking the Path of Service”.
The first was a craft workshop for the Martha Root Training Institute, Coordinators Conference in Glen Rose Texas.
The second was a workshop at the Texas Bahá’í School this weekend called: “Arts and Crafts in the Ruhi Institute Process”.
Attending the two events enabled us to meet several interesting people who I hope will contribute to the blog, and share their experience and talent.
Details of the craft activities pictured will be given in future posts.
"All Art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies. Again, shining through the mind of a poet, it is seen in fine poetry and poetic prose. When the Light of the Sun of Truth inspires the mind of a painter, he produces marvellous pictures. These gifts are fulfilling their highest purpose, when showing forth the praise of God." (Compilations, The Importance of the Arts in Promoting the Faith)
Art
A painter asked: "Is art a worthy vocation?" 'Abdu'l-Bahá turning to her impressively, said: "Art is worship."
Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 93)
