May 24, 2018, Prescott-
Corruption is a terrible thing,
alluring and insidious.
It breathes noxious fumes
into our psyches,
and holds them in place,
through a constant appeal
to our sense of “What If?”
The root of this allure
is disquiet,
the feeling that
just maybe,
THIS will be something better;
just maybe,
THIS will relieve insecurity,
once and for all.
The only thing,
however,
that will relieve
insecurity,
pain,
the ongoing lack,
is faith in action.
This is the message
of the life of
a divine Herald,
Siyyid Ali Muhammad,
known to posterity
as al-Bab (The Gate),
Whose Declaration of Mission
we Baha’is celebrate today,
on Its 164th Anniversary.
Like every Messenger/Prophet
before Him,
al-Bab lived His days
in service and in courage,
giving His earthly life,
for our sake,
killed by the agents
of corruption and ignorance,
some six years after
the Declaration we honour today.
Nice and very thoughtful!

The human condition has scarcely changed. The corruption of creation is still felt. We can only work to change the human heart one person at a time.
